That is good because everyone of you were quiet when npp members were misbehaving. This is the highest height of hypocricy. What kind of man of God are you?

This is Ghana is made of when NPP causes trouble all the people called identifying groups go to sleep but whatever NDC says anything then you'll see them coming from their hideouts to caution the public. It's very pathetic for a whole peace counsel should go to sleep whilst NPP elements continue to harass NDC members. Ghana is doomed with these characters in the country.

Defend yourselves when attacked - Portuphy to NDC supporters

Kofi Portuphy addressing the press
The chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Portuphy, has urged party supporters to defend themselves whenever they are attacked by supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

NDC supporters and sympathizers have reportedly come under severe attacks from some elements within the NPP after the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition was declared winner at the just ended elections.

Addressing a press conference in Accra on Thursday, Mr. Portuphy said in all 19 attacks have been perpetuated by the supporters of the NPP on the NDC and must be condemned.

On Saturday, December 10, a few hours after Nana Akufo-Addo’s confirmation as winner of the 2016 election, some party faithful stormed some public toilets manned by staff of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), seized the keys to the facilities, assaulting some persons in the process.

Mr. Portuphy has called on the leadership of the NPP to restrain its supporters from the attacks on its members.

“The hooliganism is still continuing, people have been sacked from their homes, respect us a little, it’s not fair. The security agencies are doing well to bring peace to bear on our society but does not prevent us from bringing to the attention of Ghanaians and the international community that these are criminal acts and must be stopped”.

The NPP has since condemned the act.

President Mahama is still the president until the handover on 07 January. If the anarchy continues and turns into chaotic and uncontrollable situation, President Mahama who is still the president will declare a State of Emergency, suspend the constitution and rule by Fiats. The country should not be burnt into ashes because of NPP hooliganism. This situation is what leads to the military take over the reigns of a government to ensure peace. The NPP will be the ultimate losers. I encourage the NPP gurus to continue advising their hooligan supporters to cause the destruction of Government properties and the killing of innocent people. They will then reap their reward of their violence. Ghanaians cannot sit down for these idiots and nation wreckers to destroy our peaceful country.

If the winners are behaving this way, what would have happened if they had lost?
I therefore say that the defeat of ndc is divine for peace and for ghanaians to make a judgement between the two parties in the future

When we have useless leaders like Purtophe making senseless comments and agitating violence among citizens then we can only describe him as clueless. Two wrongs do not make a right.
It doesn't make sense for supporters of a winning party to go on the rampage attacking their opponents on the losing side. The opposite is more likely. The NDC supporters are annoyed with their own leaders accusing them of causing their heavy defeat. There is evidence on the ground that NDC supporters are those perpetrating these lawless acts and making it appear as if it's the NPP SUPPORTERS. If NDC ignites any fire they must know that it will burn in touch members too.

urs is a lame defence of nadaa. this is evident in the heading u gave your post. no one but the fool-hardy or persons who have a strong, even if false, belief in their invincibility would dare take a fight to the opponents home ground, so when nadaa talked about atiwa where the npp perpetrated untold violence to his admiration, and sealed his admonishment with "all die be die" and "at all cost", he was not, nor could he have been, talking about self-defence. he must have been talking about naked violence to ensure victory for himself, if u ask me!

self-defence is the act, taken on the spur of the moment, to prevent or minimise bodily harm perpetrated by attackers. all over, self defense is authorised, even in Christendom where we are admonished to turn the other cheek! being a christian academic prof Asante cannot be expected to ask victims of violence to organise under one umbrella and go on the offensive! no, that would be unacceptable. nor did the ndc chairman suggest that. he only asked them to defend themselves when attacked! note that the operating phrase is "defend themselves". i suppose even the law allows that! having said that did the Rev Prof read or hear reports that ndc supporters were being assaulted? if he did, what did he do about it? if he failed to act and is only now acting because the ndc chairman is asking his party supporters and sympathisers to defend themselves then are we ndc folks his neighbours? prof remember that it is not just the jews, but the gentiles too, if they accept Jesus as the Son of God, believe that He died for our sins and rose on the 3rd day, and die to sin by leading righteous lives that will have salvation! i must say that like u i would be happy if my party were in power, but u must not renege on ur vow to God. He is omniscient and omnipresent! have a blessed day.

I guess if this man gets the opportunity he will join those killing the NDC members. What a foolish talk? In fact this is pastor gone mad. He is intoxicated by their victory, so he talks before thinking. So is this man saying that NDC supporters don't right to self defense? You lie, just tell them not to try it again. Any way, they know areas where they can do those stupid things and go free. Where I stay no stupid fool under the influence of all die be die can try that madness.
