Former minister for Youth and Sports and Member of Parliament for Yagaba-Kubori, Mustapha Ussif, has expressed grave concerns over the increasing spate of violence and lawlessness allegedly being perpetrated by supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) since their electoral victory in December 2024.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, Ussif called on President Mahama to take urgent steps to restore order and maintain the peace that was handed over by his predecessor, former President Nana Akufo-Addo. "Mr.
Speaker, His Excellency President Nana Akufo-Addo handed over a peaceful country to President ," Ussif stated. "It is his responsibility to ensure that if he cannot improve the security situation, he should at least maintain what His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo handed over to him." Ussif cited a series of violent activities that have erupted in several parts of the country in the aftermath of the elections, describing incidents where NDC supporters allegedly attacked public institutions and disrupted the operations of security and sports facilities. "Mr.
Speaker, in my own constituency, Yagaba-Kubori, some miscreants attacked the district assembly office, locked up the place, and sacked all the staff.
