The "hypocrites" condemning Mahama's "Start-up" comment do not want electoral violence to end – Asiedu Nketia | Policy

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary, The Opposition, Asiedu Nketia, has criticized the "coup for blow" remarks of former President John Dramani Mahama as a result of the unfortunate badbadination NDC officials by masked men in police vehicles. Ayawaso West Wuogon has just ended.

According to General Mosquito, as it is affectionately known, it is a hypocrisy for part of the population to condemn the comment of former President Mahama without first talking about what caused the explosion of the ex-President.

Mr. Mahama, after NDC members were shot dead in La Bawaleshie during Ayawaso West Wuogon's by-election last Thursday, warned the ruling NPP by saying: "we will match them boot for boot.

"We are not going to be joking in 2020, and I throw a warning to the NPP – we will match them boot by boot. . . I want to warn that NDC has a revolutionary root and that when it comes to unleashing violence, no one can beat us. We simply want to keep the democracy of this country in mind and that is why we must be the first to respect it. That's why we act as a docile party and respectful of the rule of law. But if we believe that the government can not protect our people and use its self-defense groups and its illegal forces to intimidate, harbad and hurt our people, we may have to advise ourselves.

A few hours after his remarks, the Reverend Professor Asante, President of the Peace Council, expressed his opinion; "If he said that, I would like to say that President Mahama, in all humility, I will beg him to apologize to the nation. In making this statement, he really created fear in people's hearts. And it's not just President Mahama, I'll say this to, I want to tell all our leaders, the people we admire in this country; that in such circumstances, one would expect them to be the voice of wisdom, a voice that will soothe tensions, a voice that will help Ghanaians to say: Indeed, we have leaders. So let's be very careful about what we say.

Asiedu Nketia commented on the problem, Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie, host of FM agreementS Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, that "The hypocrites who condemn Mahama's comment, "after the fact," do not want a solution to electoral violence in the country, because it's like using stomach medicine to cure headaches. "

"They attack the symptoms of the problem (not the problem itself), because there is no cause without effect. . . it means that you do not want a solution to the problem," he insisted.
