The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Chiana-Paga, Robert Aloo, has described Save Ghana as a vigilante group. Mr. Aloo explained that the group has been known to cause chaos and mayhem, particularly against members of the NPP and supporters of Mr. Aloo.
He denied claims that the Save Ghana group is a band of young individuals focused on development.
Mr. Aloo made these comments when he spoke to A1 Radio’s Mark Smith on the Day Break Upper East Show.
“It isn’t true. The group is a political group. It is not just a political group but also a vigilante group. These are the very people that beat NPP people on the 6th of March,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Aloo, has said he cannot be intimidated by the activities of a youth group called Save Ghana.
When Mr. Aloo spoke on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show, he fingered the NDC PC, Nikyema Billa Alamzy, as the force behind the ‘violent group’. Despite describing the activities of the group as violent and not in the best interest of the constituency, Mr. Aloo stated that he, along with his party, is not intimidated by the group.
“Myself, my chairman, Mohammed Kareem Adam, the District Chief Executive, Gerard Ataogye, and all the members of the NPP are not, not even by a single bit, intimidated by the actions of anyone, but we are peace-loving people.”
Mr. Aloo stressed that he is committed to maintaining peace in the area before, during, and after the parliamentary election.
“If you seek to lead the people, you don’t create problems within the very people you want to lead. Development thrives in peace, which is why we are preaching peace and togetherness irrespective of political affiliations. When I become an MP, I want to work with everybody. I don’t want to work for only NPP people because when one becomes an MP, you are for the entire constituency. I want to have a cordial relationship with people across the political divide.”
