First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Asokwa Constituency, Edmund Kyei, has called on President John Dramani Mahama, to with immediate effect, retract his ‘boot-for-boot’ comment.
He described the remarks as “shameful” and "misguided".
“Is Mahama thirsty for blood? Maybe he is not aware of the implications of his comment as a political figure,” he said in a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com.
Mr. Mahama, last week, while addressing some NDC supporters on a campaign tour in the Volta Region, in the week of the electoral violence recorded at Ayawaso West Wuogon, warned that the NDC would face the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) "boot for boot" in election 2020 should the attacks on its members continue.
" . . the NDC has revolutionary roots and that when it comes to unleashing violence, nobody can beat us in unleashing violence,” Mahama said.
His remarks have not gone down well with some Ghanaians, who subsequently called on him to apologise for his incendiary comments.
But the former president has turn deaf ears to all such calls.

Edmund Kyei Advise Mahama- Mr Ex president Retract your boot for boot comment
Is Mahama thirsty for blood? Maybe he is not aware of the implications of his comment as a political figure.
Ghanaians are so worried and ashamed of misguided comment made by the former president Mahama when he met party delegates at Adaklu constituency in the Volta region, he stated "the NDC has a revolutionary root and when it comes to unleashing violence, nobody can beat us in unleashing violence" Mahama said this after the unfortunate incidence at Ayawaso bye election.
Unfortunately, I think Mahama was encouraging NDC supporters to perpetrate violence, which is not good for our country. Mahama once headed ECOWAS for Liberia elections and I think he should know better. I think Ex president Mahama knows what caused genocide in Rwanda, it was an irresponsible comment from a single person that broke civil war between Hutus and Tutsi tribes.
Did Ex president Mahama even consider or thought about kids and families in our country before making such violent comment? Another question is when Ghana burns will he govern trees and river bodies left behind? Mahama want to be voted for as president but he is blood thirsty.
Ex president Mahama should respect the Christian Council and Ghanaians, he should retract the statement and apologise to Ghanaians for his "we will match you boot for boot" comment.

Edmund! Do intellectual debate instead of the ***barred word*** debate wai.
Which one is these
NPP JUST TASTED BLOOD AT AYAWASO WUOGON BY-ELECTION. THEY USED THE INVINCIBLE FORCES INFILTRATED INTO NATIONAL SECURITY TO SHOOT AT NDC FAITHFULS, SLAPPED THEIR MPS AND MOST ARE STILL AT THE HOSPITAL. JM IS ONLY CAUTIONING THE NDC WOULD NOT BE A SLEEPING SHEEP BUT ACTIVE GOAT THE NEXT TIME. NDC WOULD BE MORE THAN VAMPIRES. AS IF IT IS A JOKE, THE REALITY WILL SOON HAPPEN IF THE NPP THINK THEY CAN BE PLAYFUL.
In fact, all those who put up this post comment are evil. They dont want best for Ghana. You are very ***barred word*** and crackers. We have our kids, babies and families and you are there supporting that ***barred word***. ***barred word*** like you.kwaseiafuo peopel who cant think. Nobody wants war. Mahama call your family ppl for front row
I think this NPP man has lost his sense of reasoning and judgement. How can he accused JDM of trying to destroy Ghana without him having no issues with wicked and barbaric shooting of innocent and defenceless citizens of ghana.
***barred word*** QUESTION FROM A USE LESS PERSON. ASK YOUR TEAM OF HOOLIGANS WHO SHARED INNOCENT BLOOD ON THE DAY OF THE BY-ELECTION
Yes,because you called for it
NO, HE IS THIRSTY FOR WEED. SEE HIS I LOOK ME EYES BI.
THE MOST ST U PID MAN ON EARTH. THUNDER FIRE YOU. SEE WHO IS TALKING YOU BLOOD SUCKERS. WE HAVE SEE YOU GUYS OO NEVER AGAIN ARE WE GOING TO SIT THERE FOR YOU TO DECEIVE US AGAIN. APUUUU
In fact this is the most fooolish and ***barred word*** statement I've heard this year. Were you thirsty for blood when you unleashed your thugs to start shooting helpless citizens? You were expecting praises from him after your atrocious act. I do not support NDC and I do not think I might, but I am only concern about the hypocritical nature of Ghanaians. You organise so security personnel to attack people and shoot them without any provocation and you expect their supporters to praise you for your bravery. well said. I wish one of the injured is your relative in opposition, will you be mute over this incidence? It's high time we equally preach justice for recklessness. The media, Opinion leaders etc let's all stand for truth. I swear if any of my relatives is hurt through such means, I will find a way to retaliate. I am not mincing word
