Diabolic NDC is behind Bawumia’s accident; NPP alleges

The accident was scary, sources say

The New Patriotic Party is accusing unnamed officials of the National Democratic Congress of plotting to assassinate its vice presidential candidate in the 2012 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Dr Bawumia was involved in a serious accident when the car in which he was travelling got involved in an accident and somersaulted several times. That was after the back tires of the vehicle burst.

The NPP leader sustained minor injuries but has been treated and discharged by doctors at the Lister Hospital in Accra.

Whilst Dr Bawumia is yet to recover from the schock and injuries from the accident, party executives claim they have cause to believe the accident was part of a “diabolic” plot by the NDC to assassinate the NPP vice presidential candidate who is one of the petitioners challenging the verdict of the 2012 General elections.

The General Secretary of the party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie told Joy News’ Elton John Brobbey shortly before an official press conference that national security officials are behind the plot to assassinate Dr Bawumia and other leading members of the NPP.

He suspects the security officials had tampered with the tires of a brand new vehicle on which Dr Bawumia was travelling.

According to him, shortly before the accident, the chairman of the party Jake Obetsebi Lamptey also had the tires of his car bursting in rather bizarre circumstances. 

He said the plot is a desperate attempt by the NDC and its security officials to wipe out Dr Bawumia and other key officials of the party who are are key witnesses in the ongoing presidential election petition at the Supreme Court.

Owusu Afriyie did not understand how an ambulance was present at the airport and without a doctor to carry Dr Bawumia to the hospital, at a time when nobody had alerted the national ambulance service about the accident.

Citing the invasion of the NPP research office by soldiers and the burgling of the office of Gloria Akuffo, one of the NPP lawyers directly involved in the election case, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie said John Mahama and his national security officials have failed to stop the “mountain of evidence” gathered by the NPP and have turned their attention on the officials and key witnesses in the case. 

He said just as biblical Daniel and Abednego all triumphed over evil, Dr Bawumia and the NPP leaders will escape all assassination plots orchestrated by the NDC.
