NDC Deputy General Secretary Mustapha Gbande has said anyone involved in the recent illegal drug bust is an enemy of the state and should be treated as a national concern.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Gbande said his main concern was ensuring that the matter was properly investigated.
“The illegal drug bust is a matter of concern for every Ghanaian. Anyone involved is an enemy of the state. It is a national concern,” he said.
He said he was confident President John Dramani Mahama would handle the matter carefully rather than rush to conclusions.
“My biggest consolation is that we have a President who is willing to deal with issues carefully and properly, not in a rush. Mahama wants to understand the problem,” he said.
Gbande also alleged that some NPP members could be behind the incident, while stressing that the government would not handle the matter to satisfy the opposition.
“If the NPP wants to be on the street, I am beginning to suspect that it is some of their members that may have done it,” he alleged.
“This is a country of rules. Mahama is not a knee-jerk President. We are not solving this to please the NPP,” he added.
Recent drug-trafficking cases have prompted President Mahama to direct an inter-agency task force to develop measures to prevent drug trafficking through Ghana’s borders.
