The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Anthony Abayifaa Karbo has alleged that the NDC supported captured Ivorian President, Laurent Gbagbo’s refusal to accept last November elections and hold on to power.“NDC basically were on Gbagbo’s side and defended him to hold on to power even though the whole world including ECOWAS, the African Union and European Union advised him to respect the decision of the Electoral Commission. “Even US President, Barack Obama personally called Mr. Gbagbo to step down but he refused. It is only the NDC which saw him as the winner of the November elections,” Anthony Karbo said.Speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM Tuesday, Mr. Karbo alleged that some government officials like Deputy Interior Minister, Kobby Acheampong and NDC functionaries like Allotey Jacobs have publicly declared their support for Gbagbo.However in a rebuttal, the Central Regional Communications Director of the NDC, Allotey Jacobs, said both UN has said both President, Alassane Ouattara and Laurent Gbagbo should be blamed for the bloodshed in Cote D’Ivoire. He said President Ouattara should have exercise patience for negotiations to have concluded so that Mr. Gbagbo would have handed over power to him peacefully.Allotey Jacobs blamed the French government for interfering in the conflict saying that the West should have allowed Africans to manage their own affairs.But Anthony Kabo rubbished the statement stating that if African always run to the West when they need financial assistance, there is no reason why they can’t also assist if there are conflicts on the continent.He explained that European countries play a vital role in the developmental agenda of the African continent so they equally have a say at the governance level especially if there are some challenges.About 800 people have been confirmed dead with 2 million people fleeing the country since violence erupted in the Ivory Coast following the disputed election.Incumbent, Laurent Gbagbo’s capture on Monday is expected to foster peace in the troubled country.Story: Samuel Mantey/Adom News/Ghana
