Director of Communications at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho, has warned flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and some leading members of the party not to even think of causing any mayhem in the 2012 General Elections since they may all die first if they persist with their �all-die-be-die� mantra. In what can perhaps be best described as a show of machismo, Koku Anyidoho threw down the gauntlet daring the NPP flagbearer and members of the party, especially the current and former National Chair of the party, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey and Peter Mac Manu respectively, to attempt any form of violence as the NDC will give them a taste of their own medicine by showing them where power lies. �I�m saying it today that Akufo-Addo should dare. I know Gabby (Otchere Darko) is in London and listening. Gabby, you are my friend and I�m telling you that you and that your Akufo-Addo, if you claim to be men, make a�in this country and you will see where power lies�We are waiting for them since they say �all die be die�. They should be careful they would not be the first to go visit their ancestry; Akufo-Addo, Jake and Mac-Manu should be very careful they would not be the first to visit their ancestry because we will not just sit down in laxity and watch for Akufo-Addo to use patapaa, huhuhuhu and kekeke to destroy this country.� In a recent interview with Focus FM in London, Koku Anyidoho warned that the ruling party will unleash unto the NPP in equal measure any form of intimidation and violence that the opposition perpetuates, stressing that the NDC is not in the least frightened by the NPP flagbearer�s posturing. �Let Akufo-Addo�if he says he is a man, a true man from Akyem because he claims God gave all of us two balls each unless his is three. Maybe, his is three but if he thinks his is three and for that matter he is man enough than all of us in this country, he should dare make a wrong move,� he warned. But in a sharp retort, a Deputy Communications Director of the NPP, Sammy Awuku, speaking in an interview on AdomFM said though there have been several innuendos and threats in the form of insinuations from leading members of the NDC, the NPP considers this as a direct threat on the life of their flagbearer. "We (NPP) are ready for whatever the NDC has in mind, we�re daring them to bring it on and they will meet Kyeiwaa and his children,� he added.
