The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that the killing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) member in Kumasi on Monday was because of former president John Dramani Mahama’s infamous “boot for boot” comment.
“ . . the impunity is not surprising; considering that the former president’s boot for boot statement appears to underpin the act gravely. The NPP condemns the violence without reservation".
They are also "as a matter of urgency asking the police to expedite action in bringing the perpetrators to book".
A shooting incident at the NDC's Ashanti Regional Headquarters led to the death of one person and the injury of another.
According to reports, the shooting was between a group associated with the NDC known as the ‘Hawks’ and a taskforce; also belonging to the same party.
The NPP reacting to this at a press conference led by Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, Director for Communication said former President Mahama 'appears to be the inspiration' for the violence in his own party.
"The biggest question is why is the former President desperate for power? Can that desperation be justified by peddling falsehood about our security in Ghana to the international community? Especially when the former President appears to be the inspiration for such violence within his own party. Is he sincere about contributing to the peace, stability, and prosperity of this nation since he has led the country before and seeks to lead it again?” they asked.
“The NPP is different from the NDC; we perform far better in the interest of Ghana...the Ayawaso by-election demonstrates this clear: while President Akufo-Addo condemns the violence, John Mahama encourage violence; threatening boot for boot and claiming superiority in the use of violence. When the President responded to public concern with the Commission of Inquiry, John Mahama rubbished the eminent persons and chose to peddle cheap falsehood to the diplomatic community,” Yaw Buabeng Asamoah said.

Politicians always work to wish their blunders away. Once the NPP start irresponsibly blaming Mahama for what happened in Kumasi then they will continue this NPP/NDC thing and the truth will never be established. We definitely need a viable alternative to these NDC/NPP ***barred word***
YES THE BOOT FOR BOOT HAS STARTED AT THEIR CONER AND THEY WILL 'BOOT-FOR-BOOT' THEMSELVES. WE IN NPP DON'T CARE IF THEY WILL KILL THEMSELVES. BUT THOSE SAYING NPP IS AFRAID OF THE '..INCOM.PETENT' ONE, WE BEAT HIM BY MORE THAT A MILLION VOTES EVEN WHEN HE WAS INCUMBENT PRESIDENT.

These azugu mosquito communications director of npp is very pathetic. Azugu mosquito has exposed the their diabolical intentions leading to the 2020 election and for that reason they are now restless, not knowing what else to do. I am happy that its not ndc leaders who has seen their tricks, but discerning floating voters are the ones condemning them. THEY ARE WELCOMING THIER DISGRACE.
WHO IS OR HAD BEEN DESPERATE FOR POWER THAN NANA ADDO.NPP IS ALWAYS AFRAID OF JOHN MAHAMA. HE IS A BIG THREAT TO NPP IN 2020. ALL THE LAW SUITS AND THE ATTACKS WILL NEVER WORK. WHEN THE JOHNS RULED THERE IS PEACE. JUST A TERM OF CHANGE FROM JOHNS TO SO CALLED NANA THERE IS CHAOS AND ESCALATION OF MAYHEM. BUABENG EVEN NEXT YEAR WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT FROM ADENTAN.MAHAMA WILL COME BACK. GHANAIANS HAVE NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE, BAD AND WICKED GOVERNANCE.

That john the ded goat MUST be called by the Police for his contribution to this heinous crime because it was his boot for boot and ndc being a party from the revolution being expects in violence comment that led to this so immediate action should be taken to call THAT INCOMPETENT ONE (TIO). That is why many descent Ghanaians are saying like the Jews said NEVER AGAIN to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU
