Security analyst calls for reconciliation between parties
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, the founder of the Journalists' Network for Peace and Security (JNePS), Yakub Alfa Suleiman, gave insights into Sam George's remarks.
“With what happened in Ablekuma North, this is not the first time we are seeing something like that. But it seems this has become a political culture in our country, where party faithfuls or party folks see elections as a means to take revenge on the other for what has been done to them in previous years. It started way back.
“But we really need to sit down and reconcile this. I agree with setting up a reconciliation process between these two parties, NDC and the MPP, to find a common ground, a common interest that we can all hold on to," he said.

"Why post this now? This country has reached a point where u must put an end to petty politics. Are you truly applauding the recent actions at Ablekuma? Just because you were assaulted due to your arrogance, it doesn't mean that someone else should be subjected to the same fate."

"Those who attacked you were punished, and I don’t think we should condone this behaviour. Sorry, it happened to you, Sir, but we all should come together and stop this act."
