Malik Basintale, Deputy Director of Communications of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has issued a bold threat against Ursula Owusu, the Minister of Communications. Basintale is committed to ensuring that Ursula Owusu ends up in Nsawam Prison, a maximum security prison in Ghana.

Basintale’s threat was made during a mini-rally in Ablekuma West, where he urged the people to vote massively against Ursula Owusu. He claimed to have evidence of Ursula Owusu’s alleged involvement in questionable dealings and promised to use the evidence to secure his prosecution.

The reasons for Basintale’s threat are not entirely clear, but are likely linked to ongoing political tensions between the NDC and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). Ursula Owusu is a prominent figure in the NPP and has been involved in several high-profile controversies.

Basintale’s threat sparked a heated debate on social media, with some people condemning his statement as reckless and irresponsible. Others defended Basintale, arguing that he was simply standing up for the truth and fighting corruption.

It remains to be seen whether the threat from Basintale will have real consequences for Ursula Owusu. However, this statement has already had a significant impact on the ongoing political discourse in Ghana.

This incident highlights the increasingly polarized nature of Ghanaian politics, where politicians are willing to make bold and sometimes inflammatory statements to advance their interests. As the country prepares for the next election, it’s likely we’ll see more of this kind of talk.
