The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Titus Glover, has questioned what the Ga and Adangme people have done to President John Dramani Mahama and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), alleging unfair treatment amid a series of demolitions in the region.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Glover expressed concern over the demolition of structures at Kaajaano and Laboma, as well as developments at La Pleasure Beach, arguing that the actions had left sections of the Ga community feeling aggrieved.
He noted that Greater Accra, which is home to many Ga and Adangme people, contributed significantly to the NDC’s electoral victory.
The former Greater Accra Regional Minister, therefore, questioned why the communities were now experiencing what he described as unfavourable treatment.
“Look at how they are treating the Ga people now. The largest number of votes went to the NDC in Greater Accra, yet the Ga and Adangme people have now made a mockery of themselves,” he said.
Mr Glover cited the demolitions at Kaajaano and Laboma, alongside developments at La Pleasure Beach, as examples of what he considers troubling treatment of the communities.
He also disputed the circumstances surrounding the demolition at Laboma, insisting that the exercise went beyond what had initially been discussed.
“This was not the plan for the Laboma demolition. There was a structure on the left that the person had used laterite to build, and that was the structure we said we would demolish,” he explained.
According to him, concerns had earlier been raised about permits and the regularisation of documents, prompting him to direct the affected parties to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to settle the appropriate taxes.
“At the time, the issue was documentation and permits. The chiefs were saying they had not regularised their documents, so I directed them to go to the GRA and pay the taxes due,” he said.
He questioned why the demolition exercise had reportedly extended to all the structures, arguing that the action raised concerns about how the affected communities were being treated.
“What wrong have the Ga people done to Mahama and the NDC?” he asked.
Mr Glover ended with a warning about the potential consequences of the perceived grievances, saying, “A time is coming when we will spit red saliva.”
His comments add to the debate over demolitions and redevelopment projects in parts of Greater Accra, particularly concerns about their impact on traditional communities, property owners, and local livelihoods.
