  Is this the Kennedy Agyepong modus operandi? All these threats are seriously damaging. Some interpret these as forthrightness. is gradually becoming a laughing stock to the youth.

  I blame the kind of journalists we have today.Especially some of radio and TV presenters. They don’t probe, analyze, nor scrutinize issues and wild allegations against others.

  This modus operandi of Hon Kennedy Agyapong is character traits of a blackmailer. He gotten away with this because he is reach and untouchable.

  NPP is a venal party whose creed is plunder and outright robbery.
  We have collectively decided to bury that party of avowed kleptocrats for good.
  Simple as that! . They can scream, yell, shout , howl, threaten, bomb as their ancestors did from 1954-64. It will take them nowhere.
  Opposition is their well deserved place in our political space. And, that is a fact which is as plain as pikestaff. Done snd Dusted!

  Historical achievements of NLM/UP/NPP .Yes, achievement because these are the things they are good at as well as stealing from us. Ofori Atta robbed us blind and they do not give a fig about it. And, they think we are gullible enough to vote for them again . They can dwell in their spirit of delusion
  
  Historical facts laid bare or doing the talking.
  
  Between 1954 and 1965, the National Liberation Movement (NLM) and its allied opposition mounted a violent campaign against Kwame Nkrumah's government, characterized by riots, targeted assassinations, and bombings. This campaign killed scores of civilians and led Nkrumah to establish the Preventive Detention Act.
  
  Major incidents of this opposition violence include:1954–1956 (Kumasi Riots): Roaming bands of NLM "Action Troopers" violently attacked Convention People's Party (CPP) members and properties in Kumasi. Clashes with sticks, pickaxes, and firearms resulted in multiple deaths and severe injuries, including the 1956 shooting of NLM member Kwabena Boamah.November 10, 1955 (Residence Bombing): A powerful bomb was detonated at Nkrumah’s personal residence in Accra, an attack widely attributed to opposition NLM supporters.
  November 10, 1958 (First Assassination Attempt): A massive bomb blast rocked Nkrumah's home. Opposition officials, including J.B. Danquah and Dr. Kofi Busia, were implicated in this and subsequent coup schemes.August 1, 1962 (Kulungugu Assassination Attempt): During a presidential stop in Kulungugu, northern Ghana, a grenade concealed in a bouquet of flowers was given to Nkrumah by a young girl. Nkrumah was wounded, several bystanders were killed, and 55 others were injured.
  
  September 1962 (Lucas House Bombings): Opposition members threw bombs into a marching crowd of Young Pioneers returning from a public rally for Nkrumah’s birthday. The attack injured roughly 100 people and crossed a major threshold by directly targeting children.January 1, 1964 (Flagstaff House Shooting): A police officer stationed to guard the presidency, Constable Seth Ametewe, fired four shots at Nkrumah in an assassination attempt, narrowly missing the president but killing a senior security officer, Superintendent Salifu Dagarti.
