The Ashanti Regional Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Stephen Amoah popularly called ‘Sticker’ has disclosed that he and his thugs were prevented from causing mayhem after the 2012 elections.
According to him, they had planned causing commotion by taking their pound of flesh because they felt the election was rigged in favour of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President John Dramani Mahama saying they were prepared to die for their party and the country at large.
Speaking with host of Abusua Nkommo on Abusua FM Kwame Adinkrah, he recalled that the Flagbearer of the party Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo advised them against any mayhem that will destabilize the country.
Sticker remarked that though Nana Addo disagreed with the verdict, he accepted just to let peace prevail in the country.
The Ashanti regional organiser indicated that they rescinded their decision just to maintain the peace in the country fearing the country will be in bad shape.
Sticker reiterated that they could have clashed with supporters of NDC when they rushed to the EC’s office but they did not want to descend into the gutters with them.
He said the NDC is only good at spewing propaganda indicating that they would have taken Ghanaians by storm if they had also acted same.
‘I am telling you this revelation today, before the Supreme Court verdict; you can call central region and other places to verify my assertion. We disagreed with the election results announced by the Electoral Commission (EC). I had met people who were ready to fight; I bought fuel with my own money by mobilising people to register our protest by going on mammoth demonstration, because we knew the election was rigged, our arms were twisted. NDC could have beat us or we could have beaten them to death.
Nana Addo advised us against our plans. He told us that he didn’t like a situation where by his name will be associated with death and blood, he spoke to us and we rescinded our decision, he got the respect of many when he accepted the verdict,‘ he recalled.
He entreated the various political parties to desist from causing violence before, during and after the elections appealing to Ghanaians to vote the Mahama–led government out of office.

Why are u now coming out with this? U just want to portray that Akufo Addo is a peace lover. We know him. He is as violence as the word itself. By the way who told u Npp has won the 2008 elections?
One problem with NDC followers is that they dont read. Pls learn how to read thoroughly and do you a lot of good especially reading thoroughly what this piece talks about- the peaceful nature of Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo
Ghanaians dont appreciate people who are truthful. you people are only focusing on one side of the story where you only see a violent man. have you people considered the good and patriotic nature of the flagbearer of the opposition party who had to intervene to stop the violence. one can just commend the thoughtfulness of Nana Addo who has shown so much love for his country. nana is indeed a true stateman
His face alone tells the whole story. These are rhe peoplewnt power. GOD Forbid
You are a ***barred word***
Are u people surprise about his comments? That is the behaviour of urgly people.
He is just bragging, he doesn't have balls. He should have tried it. Since they will loose this election too I hope he tries it this time.

And you want to rule Ghana?. God have mercy
