The John Mahama 2016 Campaign notes with sadness the developments of today, Sunday November 13, 2016 during a well-patronised health walk organised by the Greater Accra Regional Branch of our great party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The sad developments, which were occasioned by an unprovoked attack followed by sporadic gunshots by identified hooligans from the Nima residence of Nana Akufo Addo, and thankfully without any reactions whatsoever from our party supporters, have now been twisted by the opposition party and their media partners, CitiFM and JoyFM.
Records available including photographs posted to the website of StarrFM, www.starrfmonline.com, confirm that it is the identified thugs from Nana Addo’s residence that were wielding various types of weapons and firing them.
The rush to issue statements, and together with their media partners circulate a false claim that supporters of the NDC wanted to attack the residence of the NPP flagbearer is clearly a failed attempt to hoodwink the public and the international community after photographs of their gun-wielding thugs appeared on both social and new media platforms.
No NDC supporter and participant in Sunday’s health walk wanted to enter let alone attack the Nima residence. It is also instructive to state that the police had cordoned off the property.
We dare JoyFM and CitiFM to provide the evidence they gathered that our supporters did anything close to what they reported.
The NDC and its candidate will continue to conduct a peaceful, calm and issue-based campaign. We challenge Nana Addo to disarm the thousands of young people called Invincible Forces he has recruited and trained and whose principal mission is to always cause mayhem and violence.
The available photographs from his residence should be a cause for worry to all peace-loving Ghanaians and others interested in the political stability of our country.
This morning’s health walk, which started from the La Trade Fair Centre and went through various principals streets of Accra and also through Nima and Maamobi, confirmed the growing brand appeal, peoples recognition and appreciation of the achievements, and the overwhelming conformation that President John Dramani Mahama, is the Peoples Choice and will win the 2016 Presidential Election convincingly.
We encourage all political parties to take a step back and always look at the future of this country when taking decisions. Concocting stories and using bias media to
spread them across the globe does the country no good.
Signed
Joyce Bawah Mogtari
Spokesperson

Madam, since you became the spokesperson for the JDM campaign, you have lost your respect.
THIS IS TOTAL ***barred word***. Akufo Addo's house was ATTACKED. And from all indications it was an attempt to intimidate or cause harm. Instead of addressing that issue they are using the platform to paint NPP as the aggressor. Misinformation at it's worst. US STATE DEPARTMENT has condemned the attack with the strongest language. This ***barred word*** has to stop before it gets out of hand.
This statement is definitely NOT meant to address the attack but to defend the NDC supporters and to portray NPP and for that matter their flag-bearer as 'violent'. Such statements emanating from the Spokesperson of the NDC campaign is NOT meant for unity but division. For all this whilst has the security at Nana's residence been shoten just bcos people are passing by the residence? Were there throwing of stones? What prompted the warning shot, if any? What were the police accompany the NDC doing at that material moment? Was there a need for a warning shut? What does Mogtari statement made to achieve? and finally, WHO IS DISTURBING THE NATION?
So starrfm is NDC radio. Shame. Let's wait till 7dec and see if mahama is the peoples choice. NDC is desperate. Nana shall be sworn in as President on 7 January 2017.
VERY SAD!!! HOW CAN A LAWYER DISREGARD ALL HER TRAINING REGARDING PROVOCATION AND EVIDENCE TO ISSUE SUCH A STATEMENT. IT IS SAD WHEN PEOPLE SELL THEIR CONSCIENCE BECAUSE OF POLITICS.
JK WHY THAT ROUTE ? COMMON SENSE SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE ORGANUSERS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT Have USED THAT ROUTE
Take a look at picture # 3 and you will see NPP people carrying guns. The goon in the green trousers has a pistol in his right hand and another NPP supporter wearing the white and blue T-shirt with his right hand raised has a gun in his left hand too. Looks like the one in the green T-shirt has a pistol too. The police should find these NPP goons and arrest them for unlawful possession of guns. ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Gun-shots-as-NPP-NDC-supporters-clash-at-Akufo-Addo-s-residence-486357?gallery=3
