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.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL. OH POOR GHANA. WHEN ARE OUR LEADERS GOING TO TEACH THE MASSES THAT EVERYTHING SHOULD NOT BE POLITICIZED? WHERE ARE THE INSTITUTIONS? WHERE ARE THE POLICE IN THE COUNTRY? OR BECAUSE NANA IS THE NEW PRESIDENT THEY HAVE TO BE CALLED LIKE THE ARMY BEFORE THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB. THIS IS PRESS CONFERENCE IS SHAMEFUL. INSTEAD OF DIRECTING YOUR ANGER AT THE POLICE FOR ALLOWING THIS CRIME TO CONTINUE YOU ATTACK THE PRESIDENT WITH THIS CHEAP PROPAGANDA. TAKE YOUR RED TO THE POLICE AND DEMAND ANSWERS AND IMMEDIATE ACTION FROM THEM AND LET THE PRESIDENT COME OUT AND CONDEMN YOU. IF YOU WANT TO HELP THE NATION FROM OPPOSITION, ANTICS OF THIS NATURE WILL NOT HELP. THE PRESIDENT IS NOW FOR ALL PEOPLE IN GHANA NOT NPP.
NDC CHAIRMAN SPEAK AS A RESPONSIBLE CHAIRMAN, YOU TALK ANY HOW. YOU TALK LIKE ANYIDADO WITHOUT WEIGHING THE PRONS AND COINS. WHAT DO YOU WANT REV. MINISTERS TO SAY. WHAT YOU DID IN 2009 IS WHAT YOU ARE REAPING. EX-PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS A GREEDY PERSON. HE THINKS HE IS CLEVER PERSON TO TAKE GHANAIANS FOR A RIDE, IT WON'T HAPPEN. HE WAS USING STATE FUNDS ON AKUA DONKOR WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE POPULACE. MAHAMA CAN GO TO HELL.
Lairs, show us the relatives of the 4 NDC members dead, we will attend the funerals. How dare call the President a beast. Portorfi is the most ***barred word***elder I have met. NDC is still in shock of trashing they received at the election
oh Portuphy you of all people , we are just plagiarising what you did in 2009 law of karma PLEASE APPOLOGISE FOR WHAT YOU DID IN 2009 ELSE
I told you guys to do all you could to stop this thing(old ***barred word*** dwarf)we called president for not coming to power.But you guys didn't listerned and allowed complicencies,pride, selfish, disunity and cowardness to take you into opposition. We don't like nana addo as president but you guys allowed them to enforced this man unto us and this is just the beginner of the fruits you're going to reap for letting power cheaply taking from you. If npp say they don't want peace NDC fight them and make this nation ungovernable for them too, as they did to president John Dramani Mahama. Ghana is for all of us and no man is superior than other. NDC what brain and wisdom that npp have which you guys didn't have.When we come back power in 2020 you have to becareful of complicencies, greed and timidity. To God be all the glory now and forever. ALL THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY.
hahahahahaha,why you be Tupac shakur.
All those punks and harlots sittoing there are guilty of using discourteous language towards the President of the Republic!!!! IGP, what are you waiting for? "BEASTLY CONDUCT OF NANA ADDO WILL NOT BE COUNTENANCED" And to look at the monsters and witches sitting there, one must ask do they measure up to Our Noble and very dignified President? Some of us who cannot stand this foolishness and insolence, born out of skinpain and brigandery and lawlessness, will soon take the law into our own hands and deal with the likes of Koku Anyidohoi, Portuphy, Asiedu Nketia and Spio Garbrah. To Garbrah, I can advise him that if he sits with these coyotes to score cheap politrical points, he will NEVER be the first Fanteman to be president of this Republic. Finally, all of you sitting aaaaround the ogre-faced bufoon, Portuphy, must know that even if the Police dont do their work, we will start a class action against all of you. We are not afraid of your threats and we will never allow you the freedom and imbecillic impunity TO DISRESPECT THE PRESIDENT. And take note that we are going to be in power for as long as you continue to display the rabble-rousing behaviour and language which the GHANAIAN VOTERS REJECTED!!! YOU HAVE NOT LEARNT YOUR LESSONS!!! WE WILL USE THE LAW TO TEACH YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN!!! ***barred word*** AND BACKWARD NINCOMPOOPS!!!!
Very Urgent!!!! THE POLICE SHOULD ARREST ALL THOSE SITTING AT THE TABLE DOING THE PRESS CONFERENCE,WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE ,WE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANY FALSE LIES MAYHEM ,THEY SHOULD POINT OUT THOSE WHO THEY SAY ARE COMMITTING THOSE CRIMES ,AS THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE ONES WHO PRACTICE AND PREACH HATE AND CRIME AS ITS CLEARLY EVIDENT THEY ,VE KILLED TWO OF THE WESTERN REGIONS VICE PRESIDENTS ....NOW REMEMBER WHATEVER U DO IN THE DARK SHALL COME TO LIGHT AND WOE! UNTO THE ONE THATS FOUND IN THE LIGHT TO HAVE STOLEN GHANA MONEY .....U LL ALL ROT IN JAIL.....
After all these stealing of monies from the state coffers or the so called public purse, these NDC men don't even look handsome . What happen. Is it a curse? They look so ***barred word***. The stolen monies did not even reflect on their body make up. That is what happens when you steal from the public purse. Damn shame. These guys don't even know what to do with their stolen monies. l bet they will just blow it and go broke for the next eight years. What a disaster NDC
Portophy you talk like a b,e =a -s- t look at your face like odwan m3333. Awun kokrooo yaka ame amekutsu gbemela. Don't forget what ndc ***barred word*** soldiers did in 2009, so the guys want to take it back. Is your national demonic council(NDC) started over taken things 8 years ago, you and your party members kept silence, including John Mahama. Comfortable lead. In 2009 all those who were working at school feeding were sacked and chase out from their working places and NDC ladies took over. Talking about house, did Maham gave house to Kuffour? NO and NO but why he want a house?
