The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned it should not be blamed for any degeneration of the peace in the country should its members defend themselves against the unbridled attacks on them by supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
NDC national chairman, Kofi Portuphy, at a press conference, accused President Nana Akufo-Addo of looking on unconcerned while his party supporters attack their opponents, citing incidents at toll booths around the country, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority at the Tema Port and Agbogbloshie in Accra.
He said four members of the NDC have died in post-election attacks since the December 7, 2016 polls.
Graphic Online’s Kweku Zurek reports from the press conference that Mr. Portuphy is also accusing the President and his new NPP government of acting cowardly in the matter of the controversial retirement home for ex-President John Mahama to cover their own shame emanating from the plagiarised speech read by Nana Addo at his investiture.
"We wish to assure Nana Akufo-Addo that no amount of bad faith he exhibits will wipe away the heaps of shame and disgrace he has brought upon himself and Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana."
"Indeed Nana Akufo-Addo is better off apologizing to the good people of Ghana for his improper conduct of intellectual dishonesty and academic fraud rather than continuing to show bad faith after a smooth transfer of authority of state to him", he stated.
And he says in all these, there are men of God looking on who are now praising evil in the country.
Incidents of forceful seizures and banishment of staff from a number of public institutions and property have been reported from around the country, in some instances attended by destruction of public property, while the police say they are having to deal with too many such case.
Superintendent Cephas Arthur, Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Police Service says the police are dealing with the situation and have in many instances averted those unauthorised actions or prevented the situation from escalating.
He told Joy News in some instances the perpetrators had actually abandoned their plans and taken to their heels upon seeing the police approach. He acknowledged some arrests but said the suspects were yet to be prosecuted.

its the same men of God who kept quiet when you raped Ghana in broad day light.You guys are in dreamland.This just a cover up.
Come to think of it. Something does not add up. I thought they are saying that some workers at the port, toll booth, etc who have been attacked. Why are all those people NDC members? Was it a general rule that ports, toll both, toilets were manned by only NDC members? They should rather be asking the police to arrest anyone who attacks. Their complain is wrongly directed to the NPP. It should be to the police. I am also surprised that the police have not arrested anyone yet.
Hahahaha so Ghanaians should have allow your Mahama to take state property for know any tangible reason oh no H.E Nana Addo is never a goat president unlike your president did to Ghanaians so please excuse him .
shame shame shame portuphy, where were you when similar thing happened in 2009. i expect you to admit guilt first before going on to condemn the current happenings.if you had stopped it in 2009, maybe, we wont be having it this time. your men have chop some tell them to vacate for the other family men to also chop some. after all, they are all Ghanaian
@ Jaga Pee they will find nothing in the investigations. Unless they are trying to use takashie to jail them like they did to Tsikata. Party full of angels indeed.
somehow the picture is so so funny
look at them so pathetic. hard to be in opposition ampa
What you should be worrying about is rather what is coming your way by way of investigations into how you stole Ghana's money to build your headquarters. We will retrieve all the money. the impudence of weak and coward chairman. Dr. Kwabena Agyei was much much better. infact you come nowhere near him.
NO THEY DID NOT DIE. THEY COMMITTED SUICIDE IN SOLIDARITY FOR MAHAMA
