The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has been asked to stop encouraging hooliganism ‘especially in the Greater Accra region’.
Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe, Greater Accra deputy regional organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who was also one of the lawyers for Montie 3 cautioned “Sammy Awuku and his other youth organisers particularly in Greater Accra that they must desist from this crude attitude of getting their supporters to hoot at the President. It is contrive, it is dangerous, it is provocative and it can be repeated and they should stop it before it degenerates into something very messy”.
Hundreds of traders and residents on Tuesday shocked President John Dramani Mahama at Kokompe, a suburb of Accra by waving the change sign after the president stormed the area to campaign. Some hooted at him and screamed “change, change, change.”
According to Mr Tamakloe who was contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, the act of hooting at the President can be ‘repeated’ by another group of people; hence needs to be condemned.
“Let me issue what I will call a warning to our political opponents; particularly the New Patriotic Party. I believe that the kind of politics we do should be the politics that allows for constructive engagement; where political parties should have the opportunity to freely express their association with any leader that they like. But where in this case; a political party decides that the old and crude method of doing politics where the president goes for a visit only for political parties to mobilise their supporters to hoot at him; it is not only dangerous and provocative, it is very crude and ought not to be entertained…” he said

Who hooted at the president? Stop this joke and face it , we want change that's all and stop blaming people for your problems.
The NPP and it's supporter obviously don't understand the democracy they claim to champion. What happened at Kokompe is barbaric and definitely a recipe for chaos in the country. Supporting a particular candidate does not mean spewing provocations to the other. On December 7, everyone will have the opportunity through the ballot to determine who becomes president. It can only be that, NPP's findings still prove that President Mahama will continue as President after December 7 and such hooliganism is just to portray the President as a "self imposing" to the nation. #JMTOASO.
The leadership of the NDC are out of tune with the reality. When the ordinary Ghanaian expresses his desire in the up coming election in the presence of the president, you insult them by saying someone incited them to do that. Wao!! Truth be told politicians learn only when they are in opposition. Edudzi Tanakloe and his likes will start speaking sense after January 2017 when Ghanaians officially put them in opposition. May God be with them in their learning in opposition.
If can't haul your load, blame no pad. Out of frustration, genuine Ghanaians arose to tell their beef. Who Organised them?

So who is encouraging hooliganism now? Its a pity how some of these NDC men takes us for granted. Ghanaians are expressing their feelings and instead of looking into it to address their plights, you are rather falsifying and justifying issues. So are you saying the people there were cited to hoot? Men, this ain't selling
We really need change,Stop blaming NPP and Sammy Awuku,You people are losing big time this YEAR..
In this era of campaigns every body is allowed to show his feelings be it disgust or appreciation. it shows ones performance as a President.
HOOTING IS BETTER THAN STONE TROWING
