Addressing party supporters at a rally at Asewase, he said the leadership in the region would not hesitate to challenge any security official if they did not conduct themselves in a professional manner.
Nana Akwasi deplored the subtle attempt by the government to make changes in the military hierarchy in the region and said such a move would not intimidate the NDC members from being vigilant in the upcoming elections.
