Speaking to the media, Sofo Azorka stated, “The NPP 3rd Vice Chair is only doing politics; he has no strength and cannot do anything; he is just a child looking for a position. You know, the NPP always likes violent people.
For me, I am always had an appetite for a fight; he knows it himself. If he wants to insult anyone, he should insult NPP members; he should not bring his bad behaviour to the NDC elders. Who are you?”, he added.
His comment came after his clash with the NPP’s Third National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osman Masawudu, during the ongoing Akwatia by-election.
The violent clash occurred at the Akwatia Lorry polling station while voting was ongoing.
