He warned that if the necessary protection is not provided by the security services, the party would take steps to defend itself.

He further urged all NPP members in Akwatia to intensify their campaign efforts to secure a decisive victory for Mr. Asumadu in honor of the late Member of Parliament, Ernest Yaw Kumi.
