The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has condemned former President John Mahama for comments he made following chaos that ensued at the Bawaleshie electoral area during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
The former President after some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) got injured during gunshots at Bawaleshie said: “we are not going to joke in 2020 and I’m sounding a warning to the NPP – we are going to match them boot for boot. I want to sound a caution that NDC has a revolutionary root and when it comes to unleashing violence no one can beat us to that.”
“It is just that we midwifed this country’s democracy and that is why we must be the first to respect it. That is why we are acting like a party that is docile and respecting the rule of law. But if we believe that the government cannot protect our people and we believe that the government is using its vigilante groups and illegal forces to intimidate and harass and injure our people, then we may have to advise ourselves,”
In response, the NPP said they cannot compete with the NDC when it comes to unleashing violence and further condemned "unreservedly, the comments of former President John Dramani Mahama, who is threatening to unleash mayhem in the country in election 2020. The former president clearly admitted the violent nature of his party and emphatically stated that “when it comes to unleashing violence, no one can beat the NDC in unleashing violence”.
The NPP in a statement added: "we wish to tell the former president that the NPP is not, will not, and cannot compete with his NDC in unleashing violence on the Ghanaian people. Of course, unlike them, we, in the NPP, do not have a revolutionary root, as he stated. We however wish to remind the former president and his NDC that citizens reserve the right to defend themselves even as the security agencies are always poised to deal with trouble causers in accordance with law.

2020 WE WILL DO THE KILLINGFS FOR THE ***barred word*** PRESIDENT TO BE SEND TO ICC MARK IT
Go and tell Ursula owusu, that woman should not speak like that, hypocrite.
Oh "the chicken is coming home to roost", from the horses own mouth we have now got to know which party in our dear nation that is VOILENT. Also we have again known the people who want to lead the VOILENT PARTY because they too are violent. I am not surprised at all because they kept denying that "tag" of their party but inwardly they were aware that that tag was for them. They also should bear in mind that no one will be allowed to UNLEASH VOILENCE on the people of Ghana so those who are inculcating that idea in their people should better have a second thought because they will fail, and their relatives shall be the first victims.
NANA ADDO LOST CONTROL...NPP SHAME
