The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly condemned an alleged assault on the party's Northern Regional Treasurer, Hajia Shamima Yakubu.
The party said it disapproves of such irresponsible actions and pledges a thorough investigation to punish those responsible.
In a press statement released on Monday, January 15, and signed by General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the party apologised to the victim and assured her of adequate support.
“The NDC takes a very serious view of the conduct of the party officer responsible for the assault, and at the next meeting of its Functional Executive Committee meeting, measures will be taken to address the matter thoroughly to leave no doubt in everyone’s mind that the party does not approve of unlawful acts of assault and battery.”
The NDC also expressed its commitment to the safety of all Ghanaians, emphasising that no one should take the law into their own hands.
“The NDC is committed to ensure that its members adhere strictly to the long-cherished practices that have made our internal politics the enviable attraction of teeming millions of the people of Ghana.”
Hajia Shamima Yakubu was assaulted by a regional party officer of the NDC during a stakeholder meeting in Tamale over the weekend.
The meeting turned chaotic, leading to injuries on Hajia Yakubu's face, requiring her hospitalization.
