2024 Elections: There’s No Plot To Use Military To Brutalize Ghanaians On Dec 7 – Prez Akufo-Addo Denies Claims
The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has denied reports indicating an attempt by his government to use the Military to terrorize Ghanaian electorates in the December 7 elections this year.
The President, in a statement signed by the Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, debunked the claims stressing the Akufo-Addo administration is not orchestrating any “politically motivated changes within the hierarchy of the Armed Forces” to advance this objective of brutalizing the citizens during the general elections.
The statement however disclosed a meeting was held between the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Nana Akufo-Addo, and the Heads of the security agencies at the Jubilee House at the beginning of the New Year but there were no “discussions about changes to the hierarchy of the Armed Forces were held during the meeting”.
“Indeed, the President of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, held a meeting with Heads of Security agencies at Jubilee House on 2nd January 2024, a meeting which has become an annual feature on the President’s calendar at the beginning of the New Year.”
“At these meetings, the Heads of Security agencies call on the President to offer him their best wishes for the coming year, with the President also using the opportunity to express his appreciation to them for their continued commitment to safeguarding the peace and stability of the nation”, the statement explained.
The President added; “The Armed Forces is an important institution of State that has, over the years, built an enviable reputation for its professionalism in the conduct of its duties, both at national and international levels. The Akufo-Addo-led administration shall continue to guard
earnestly this reputation by ensuring that partisanship is eschewed from the operations of the Ghana Armed Forces.”
