The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned it should not be blamed for any degeneration of the peace in the country should its members defend themselves against the unbridled attacks on them by supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
NDC national chairman, Kofi Portuphy, at a press conference, accused President Nana Akufo-Addo of looking on unconcerned while his party supporters attack their opponents, citing incidents at toll booths around the country, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority at the Tema Port and Agbogbloshie in Accra.
He said four members of the NDC have died in post-election attacks since the December 7, 2016 polls.
Graphic Online’s Kweku Zurek reports from the press conference that Mr. Portuphy is also accusing the President and his new NPP government of acting cowardly in the matter of the controversial retirement home for ex-President John Mahama to cover their own shame emanating from the plagiarised speech read by Nana Addo at his investiture.
"We wish to assure Nana Akufo-Addo that no amount of bad faith he exhibits will wipe away the heaps of shame and disgrace he has brought upon himself and Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana."
"Indeed Nana Akufo-Addo is better off apologizing to the good people of Ghana for his improper conduct of intellectual dishonesty and academic fraud rather than continuing to show bad faith after a smooth transfer of authority of state to him", he stated.
And he says in all these, there are men of God looking on who are now praising evil in the country.
Incidents of forceful seizures and banishment of staff from a number of public institutions and property have been reported from around the country, in some instances attended by destruction of public property, while the police say they are having to deal with too many such case.
Superintendent Cephas Arthur, Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Police Service says the police are dealing with the situation and have in many instances averted those unauthorised actions or prevented the situation from escalating.
He told Joy News in some instances the perpetrators had actually abandoned their plans and taken to their heels upon seeing the police approach. He acknowledged some arrests but said the suspects were yet to be prosecuted.

I think the NDC should direct its complaints to the police. Afterall, the IGP they appointed is still the IGP
Ah. Was the top police guys all not appointed by you. Direct your noise towards them. Let institutions of state work. Just be a responsible opposition not thugs.
WHAT A ***barred word*** PRESS RELEASE IF DONT HAVE A MESSAGE IS GOOD YOU STAY QUITE THAN TO ORGANISED A SHAMEFUL PRESS CONFERENCE LIKE THESE.
AWUUUUUUUUUU , SEA.
This NDC chair is a disgrace to our party. he must go. Everybody in one way or another has Plagiarised or copied before. Mahama did it and Akufo Addo has done it, so what? instead of concentrating on how we will come back, you are there inciting violence. mmtewwwwwwwww
NDC ARE DOING ALL THESE TO TARNISH NANA'S IMAGE. EII THIS LOOSING DEY PAIN YOU WELL ,WELL. MAMBOROBA. AHYE MO MOREEEE.
Satanic and evil nana addo. We shall make ghana ungovernable
Ordinarily, one would have kept silent over such political effusions from a sour loser. But to think that Kofi Portuphy of all people will blame Nana Addo for the seizure of government jobs, when he himself walked into Nadmo office to boot out Mr Akrofi. He and the NDC should exercise patience with the greatest respect. We are not done with them yet. The red headkerchiefs mean nothing to us in the NPP. We are now now going to conduct intensive investigations into all their corrupt practices and come out with the findings and follow it up with prosecution of those who would be found culpable. And what are you saying about the Cantonments house, Kofi Portuphy? Have you guys got no shame? Have you provided President Kuffuor with residential accommodation? Why should be give Mahama first before President Kuffuor? This press conference is as absurd as the people who participated in it. But trust me, you will stay in opposition of a very long time to come. We are not ready to surrender power to you people again because you proved to all Ghanaians that you have no clue as to how to govern. You were only masters in corruption and underhand dealings. So go on and cry, who cares?
Look at them. hahahahhahaha.
Eye red ooo. when eye red the language can change. Those giving the negative comments must take note that violence knows no bounds, it affects all sides
