The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has been asked to stop encouraging hooliganism ‘especially in the Greater Accra region’.
Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe, Greater Accra deputy regional organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who was also one of the lawyers for Montie 3 cautioned “Sammy Awuku and his other youth organisers particularly in Greater Accra that they must desist from this crude attitude of getting their supporters to hoot at the President. It is contrive, it is dangerous, it is provocative and it can be repeated and they should stop it before it degenerates into something very messy”.
Hundreds of traders and residents on Tuesday shocked President John Dramani Mahama at Kokompe, a suburb of Accra by waving the change sign after the president stormed the area to campaign. Some hooted at him and screamed “change, change, change.”
According to Mr Tamakloe who was contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, the act of hooting at the President can be ‘repeated’ by another group of people; hence needs to be condemned.
“Let me issue what I will call a warning to our political opponents; particularly the New Patriotic Party. I believe that the kind of politics we do should be the politics that allows for constructive engagement; where political parties should have the opportunity to freely express their association with any leader that they like. But where in this case; a political party decides that the old and crude method of doing politics where the president goes for a visit only for political parties to mobilise their supporters to hoot at him; it is not only dangerous and provocative, it is very crude and ought not to be entertained…” he said

@ SAMMY AWUKU IS SMALL BOY your English sucks paapaa. Leave Sammy Awuku out of this. If Nana is dirty then you are a refuse damp. Frustration is making the NDC so paranoid. What evidence do you have to proof the people are NPP members. There is nothing diabolic and fiendish about the hooting. That is how they feel. After paying so much taxes a few people embezzle these taxes and the president cant even bring such people to book cos his government is for family and friends. He has failed Ghanaians. Dumsor is persistent today solely cos of financial issues and the money is in some nitwit and dum.p a.sses pocket. GOD WILL PUNISH THEM ALL. CHANGE IS COMING. CHANGE IS GOOD. NanaBeba
NDC they don't know what they are saying.But if u like or not Nana will win.So wite change is coming soon.NPP is the best by (JAY TEE)
SAMMY AWUKU DONT KNOW ANYTHING,HE SHOULD GO TO LIBERIA OR IVORY COAST AND ASK WHAT HAPPEN THERE,ALL THIS ***barred word*** ALTITUDE CAN BRING CIVIL WAR,IF THIS HAPPEN TO THAT SHORT MAN WHAT WILL HAPPEN,NANA ADDO IS URGLY AND HE DONR DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT,HE IS DIRTY,SEE WHAT HAPPEN TO HIS NOSE THAT DIRTY MILK.
Master do you think they aren't wise enough to know it's time for change,,,***barred word*** and cure what's wrong with your president!!!When stones were flown at Nana Addo,,,,did u accept the blame???
NPP SHOULD KNOW THAT WE THE NDC CAN DO WORSE THAN THIS SO THEY SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
YOU ARE CRAZY FOR MENTIONING SAMMY AWUKU NAME IN THE ACT, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN NANA ADDO WAS STONED AT CLOTTEY KORLEY, PLEASE DONT EVER PROVOKE SOME OF ELSE.AND DO U THINK MAHAMA IS HUMAN BEING MORE THAN NANA ADDO RIGHT.YOU BETTER ***barred word***
Saagyewaaaaa! I taught the president is dead oo. Didn't he tell us all that he is a deadg*at? How can a deadg*oat bother about simple hooting? And a so called lawyer thinks somebody organized them? This shows how they are out of touch with the realities of today. Tamakloe ee! what the people did to the president was the true reflection of how the large majority of ghanaians are feeling. Anger, frustration, suffering and the resolve to kick this legendary incompetence was what drove them to hoot at the incompetent president. Indeed, had it not been for the security around Mahama, the people would have beaten him up. The hooting is far better for him. If Tamakloe and his NDC ***barred word*** even fail to perform in bed, they will surely blame the NPP for it. December is just here. You guys will see the reality then.
Npp behaves like villagers they think they're the only wise people on earth.
After reading all the comments I came to realized that NPP are proud and complacent people. This will not help them.
I know Kofi Adams will come out and say it is normal in politics so no worries Mr. lawyer.
