Former President John Dramani Mahama has asked the ruling New Patriotic Party not to take the ‘leniency’ of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to ‘its weakness’.
He said the NDC are experts in ‘unleashing violence’ and that if the ruling “government cannot protect our people, we will advise ourselves”
The former President was reacting to a clash that occurred at the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency (Bawaleshie Presby School polling centre ) during its by-election on Thursday which saw NPP’s Lydia Ahassan as the winner.
The NDC pulled out of the by-election after seven of its members got injured following a shooting incident at Bawaleshie Presby School polling centre. In the midst of this clash, Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram constituency, Sam George was slapped by one of the security officers.
Reacting to this while speaking to party supporters in Adaklu, Mr. Mahama said: “NDC has revolutionary rules and that when it comes to unleashing violence, nobody can beat us in unleashing violence; it is just that we midwifed Ghana’s democracy and so we must be the first to respect Ghana’s democracy and that is why we are acting as a party that is very docile and respecting the rule of law but if we believe that the government cannot protect our people…then we would have to advise ourselves”

When Mahama said we will match booth to booth, who is he referring to? Is he referring to him and his family? will he bring his children that are schooling in Dubai and lead the war? Or he was referring to you the poor youth in his devil party to go and sacrifice your future for him? When he was in power how many your children that he paid school fee or even buy a school bag for? You are shouting and praising him with his small left brain ideas. You will be shot by a bullet and if you survive, he will come and visit you and Peacefmonline will post his picture with you here and that will be all for your life.
Very sad for not only as former president but grown man to say. Two wrong can not be right.At the end of the day we the people are going to pay the price.Mr Mahama speak like grown man period
For a former President to say this, is below belt and it's very disgraceful, irresponsible and sad, indeed.
What people will do and say to get power.This is really disappointing coming from a former leader.
A failed stateman.
Wake up Ghanaians. I am very disappointed in many commenting on the violence at January 31 By-Election. The Security forces saved the elections and the nation from a very unfortunate embarrassment situation that the gang in the the NDC candidate would have cause. What Ghanaian need to do investigate is what the gangs in the in NDC candidates were doing. Who brought such a big number of vigilantes there and what was their agenda. NDC claim that they were to monitor the election. If they were to monitor the election they would have received accreditation and be dispatched to the polling stations at or before 7.00 am. The vigilantes had been kept in the house to be dispatched all at the same time to snatch ballot boxes and beaten any body who would have resist them. If they had succeeded to do that who would have been blamed? The police and the security forces would have been blamed for incompetent. The President and NPP government would have been blamed to have failed to execute and protect just a constituency election. if this morning everybody is going about their duties freely and discussing about the election it is all because the security forces acted on their intelligence and nip the diabolic agenda in the bud. It is shamefull and irresponsible for Mahama to have made such a statement. He will never again be entrusted with power.
Ndcfuo, nobody us afraid of you, you bring peace,peace will great you but if you bring violence then violence begat violence and you,those ***barred word****s who have formed the Hawks and azorka and the snakes and whatever be reminded that if you die you die a f00li*sh death because this man could spend ghs1 million on his son's birthday when that money could build 2 factories for you ndc lazy f00*00ls who want to die for a deadgo*at so you could get something to do he used that on yacht and ski boats to entertain his son and you are hear clapping when you run to your Headquarters like a bully in school who met his match and was beaten mercilessly and run home to report to his mother to come and fight for him ! today look at the cowards talking like they weren't alive yesterday but just heard what happened! bring it on,you have loud mouth so can brag but the NPP HAS no time for failures and idi*ots but will respond appropriately! has the ndc forgotten what happened at agbogbloshie, Chereponi, Talensi, Ahafo Ano north etc when people died everyday because of ndc intimidation? I'm reminding them what goes around comes around,the evil that men do lives after them and your threat do not frighten Ghanaians a bit,Ghanaians will vote and vote massively to keep the ndc in opposition in 2020 if John mahama is coming back, thinking he can win with violence then somebody tell him to stand well, Akufo Addo was born at Swalaba in Jamestown/Accra he was born and bred in Accra and has nothing to fear from the Bole Bamboi king Kong! he doesn't talk match but actions speak louder than words! Ghanaians have confidence in him we believe him to keep our country safe so if John mahama think otherwise then he should make sure he sends his sons eho are matured to be in the army to eat the fight for the ndc! nkwas*easem kwa! John mahama talks anyhow and I don't blame him that is the sense of a drunkard! Only f00*00ls will follow such a leader and die f00*0lishly! John mahama is a first class hypocrite!he will lose and bigger than 2016! he doesn't own Ghana and we will never give him Ghana he should send his Hawks they will be crushed Insha Allah!
