Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South constituency, Dr. Clement Apaak has reacted to comments made by a member of the Council of State, Sam Okudzeto to the effect that former president John Dramani Mahama's "boot for boot" comment smack of irresponsibility.
But responding to Mr. Okudzeto's statement, Dr. Apaak in a statement on his facebook wall indicated that, "Boot4Boot it shall be. If Government will use our taxes to train, clothe, arm and transport thugs to brutalise citizens, we are permitted, as long as we live, to protect ourselves."
According to him is it not interesting that Lawyer Okudzeto is worried about John Mahama saying we will protect ourselves but sees nothing wrong with the President overseeing the acts of lawlessness and impunity in Ghana today.
Below is his full post:
Folks; Please tell Lawyer Okudzeto, Member of the Council of State that Boot4Boot it shall be. If Government will use our taxes to train, clothe, arm and transport thugs to brutalise citizens, we are permitted, as long as we live, to protect ourselves.
To think that a member of the Council of State, Lawyer Okudzeto, is taking on JM for stating the obvious, is very revealing. Indeed if you have people like lawyer advising our President what will you expect?
Is it not interesting that Lawyer Okudzeto is worried about JM saying we will protect ourselves but sees nothing wrong with the man; President, overseeing the acts of lawlessness and impunity in Ghana today, but is rather worried about the man; JM, who says we will defend ourselves against government sponsored state brutally? Some logic indeed!
Has Mr. Sam Okudzeto seen the headline "Police Chase Ayawaso shooters" ? Is this not the most dishonest and deceitful headline and story you have ever seen? I shall explain!
Mr. Council of State member, does it make sense to you that the IGP will be hunting for the hooded thugs who were on rampage at Ayawaso; shooting and beating citizens, when the Minister in Charge of National Security at the Office of the President has admitted that these hooded and masked thugs are from his outfit. Is it not obvious that the IGP knows where to find them?
Mr. Okudzeto, please be informed that these thugs were wearing the insignia of NSC, National Security Council. As a member of the Council of State, you know as a matter of fact that, the President Chairs the National Security Council. It's the President who appointed the Minister in charge of National Security at the Presidency is it not so?
Lawyer Okudzeto, I don't expect you to publicly admit this, but truth is that the President can't pretend he knows nothing about what went down in Ayawaso, he chairs the National Security Council. His appointees in the area of security; the Minister of State in charge of National Security, the Minister for National Security, the Minister for Defence, the Minister for Interior, the Chief of Defence Staff, the IGP, the National Security Coordinator, the National Security Adviser and all the heads of the security agencies who are members of the National Security Council can't say they know nothing about the acts of lawlessness that occurred in Ayawaso.
Sir, if the President, his vice and the rest of the members of the National Security Council have no knowledge of the senseless and wicked operation undertaken by the masked and hooded bandits, then God save us all. As a member of the Council of State, you should be worried.
I put it to you that at the very minimum, the Minister of State in charge of National must be fired and a full scale probe iniated; a Commission of Enquiry. I expect you to agree with me.
Think about it sir, how can the police investigate a matter spearhead by a Minister of State in charge of National Security at the Presidency if he remains in office?
Now you understand why Boot4Boot has come to stay! You ask why? Your guess is as good as mine. The designers and implementers of these acts of lawlessness will walk and will feel emboldened given your type of logic!
Lawyer Okudzeto, if you can't advise the President to act in the interest of all citizens please be informed that we will not be sitting ducks the next time, certainly not. Indeed self preservation is the essence of every lifeform! Hence Boot4Boot Lawyer Okudzeto!
In Solidarity!
Dr. Apaak

You've never been a sitting duck. Your party gangsters were the perpetrators in Amenfi West, Akwatia, Atiwa, Kumawu, Cheriponi, Agbogbroshie, Asutifi South, Asunafo North and Tamale Central but yet you claim not to be sitting ducks anymore. You got beating to your game. Stop the SELECTIVE MEMORY SYNDROME SICKNESS game and tell the truth at least once. You're always send innocent ignorance poor boys from the north to do your dirty job. I salute Sam George, at least he was there in person. Where were you? Be there next time and don't be a sitting duck hiding under the ***barred word***. We want peace but not your kind of SELECTIVE MOMORY SYNDROME SICKNESS peace. We need real leaders who is ready to condemn any form of violence regardless of where it's coming from and come up with real solution to solve this crazy bye-election political violence period.
Why is Northerners always relishing in violence and respond disproportionately than any other tribe in Ghana? The by-election was in Ayawaso Wugon in Greater Accra region yet those brutalized were people from the Northern extract. Why should people bused from northern region to fight the battle of Akans? But, what do we see, the elite northerners resting and enjoying their ill-gotten gains with their families are egging their people to fight and die.
Like your comment. lol
Like seriously, Ghana Police must arrest the innocent and leave the wicked , law breakers, destroyers of peace to increase and destroy us. Anyway Ghana Police and other agencies the NPP government can control can go after them but the Almighty God, whose sacred heart this nation is hidden in, says He will not be silent any longer but will fight for His people, for vengeance is His.
Only deaf and blind as the President said can condemn the reaction of JM without first without condemning the barnaric acts of the corrupt dog on his own people.
This old Sam Okudzeto man can't be grateful to God for not calling him to go home early but rather chooses to play dirty politics, why? Is it bcos he wanted to mess up with us before going home? No I suggest he he always think twice before he talks, not that he has seen it all.
I thought from 1992 to 2019 our democracy, way of understanding and the ability to Tolerate each other in a decent way has matured more than am reading. Well let the politicians enrich themselves and encourage the Poor unemployed youth to go and face law enforcement team BOOT FOR BOOT. I guess their many wives and girl friends will lead the front for BOOT FOR BOOT. Formal leaders we will look up to now calling us to go share blood so he can be president again.***barred word*** Greedy People. I REST MY CASE.
