Former President John Dramani Mahama has observed that the increasing spate of political vigilantism and hooliganism in the country involving foot soldiers of the governing party is as a result of what the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has nurtured its supporters to become.
Over the past weeks, aggrieved party supporters in the Northern Region have engaged in lawless acts by locking up the offices of the Regional Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme.
The group calling itself “Burma Camp” claimed they were doing so because of some decisions taken by the managers of the programme which was in sharp contrast to their position.
Another pro-NPP group at Karaga in the Northern Region also stormed a police station to forcibly free two of its arrested members and in the process vandalized an office belonging to the party.
The chaos was in connection with their accusation of the YEA Director of the region that he discriminated against them in a job recruitment exercise.
Last Thursday, the party’s in the Sisala West district of the Upper West Region went on a rampage chasing out the District Chief Executive of area Mr Zakaria Mohammed Bakor.
But the former President in a Facebook post said: “”When you sow the wind, you reap a whirlwind!”
Political ‘vigilantism’ is spiralling out of control and government doesn’t appear to be able to deal with the situation. And the tragedy is that most of our moral society have become passive spectators”

Mr. Shout up your mouth. Your irrelevant to Ghanaian politics
Will you just shut your f*cking mouth? The root cause of all these acts of vandalism and vigilantism is lack of jobs .Do you think these young people will bother to chase after these limited job opportunities if every day they wake up to go to their various jobs? You John Mahama is the worst leader this country has ever had.The millions st0l3n by you your wife and relations if available to the current government would have made a big difference. I am surprised you still have the pluck to open your mouth and talk f00l1shly. You alone by yourself has wrecked the chances of many Northerners aspiring to be leaders in this country.
what's john mahama saying? has he forgotten what his party founder planted in the early 80s when vigilante groups he founded were chasing ,up Chief executives and even private business men from their offices in this same manner? that is what is bearing fruits now so he should ***barred word***.
His Excellency Nana Ado Danquah Akakpo Addo, may God grant you more years so that you will trample upon the incompetent NDC party...They will remain in opposition for so many years because of their incompetency...long live Nana, long live the NPP party
Very irresponsible to say that mr former president. Why I'm I even surprised? That's how you've always addressed issues. Not an ounce of patriotism from you. Propaganda has always been your hallmark. U are supposed to be a statesman instead of talking like a foot soldier/serial caller. Jdm please please desist from this behaviour of yours. Should be grown out this juvenile stuff by now; no disrespect. But it has to be said. You can condemn the actions of these citizens but to politicise this is very low even for u.
This greedy and corrupt John Ford Mahama does not make sense.... You failed to deal with them when you were the president. You are a failure.......
IS THAT A FORMER PRESIDENT TALKING? I DO BLAME HIM SO WE DO NOT WITNESS LAWLESSNESS UNDER HIS RULE ? GOD HAVE MERCY
IF YOU SOW LOW STANDARDS, YOU WILL REAP BUKOM BANKU, MZBEL, AKUA DONKOR, HASSAN AYARIGA & FAILURE! #WebHunter
IF YOU SOW CORRUPTION, YOU WILL REAP NSAWAM PRISONS. I rest my case. #WebHunter
there is a twi proverb which says ( if u send a chicken to buy u meat n the chicken did not get the meat, the chicken itself is meat. these miscreants were trained to cause mayhem during the election, thanks to HIS EXCELLENCY JDM, they could not execute their plan. so they have to turn on them. in every coin, they are two sides.your next stop should be at the flagstaff house. you cant cheat nature
