Johnson Asiedu Nketia criticized Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George for defending recent Ablekuma North violence through social media posts. The NDC Chairman condemned George's Facebook response to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's violence condemnation. George had questioned Bawumia's credibility by referencing the 2019 Ayawaso West Wuogon incident where George suffered assault. Asiedu Nketia rejected any justification of current violence based on previous events. The party leader described George's statements as emotionally driven and poorly considered.
Asiedu Nketia emphasized that politicians cannot rationalize violence or promote retaliation through public discourse. He warned against creating endless cycles of justified misconduct. The chairman demanded restraint from political leaders whose statements influence public opinion. He stressed the importance of institutional fairness to restore citizen confidence. This public criticism represents an unusual internal party rebuke highlighting the NDC's official opposition to political violence.
