The ruling NDC has reacted to the hooting at President John Mahama by some NPP supporters at Kokompe in Accra, saying the party will not descend to the level of the opposition party.
Hundreds of traders and residents in the NPP stronghold on Tuesday shocked the President by waving the change sign when he stormed the area to campaign.
The bewildered President had no choice than to wave at the charged crowd from the roof of his SUV vehicle as the traders continuously rolled their hands to signal change; a slogan of the opposition New Patriotic Party. A video of the incident has gone viral.
Reacting to the development, the campaign coordinator of the NDC Kofi Adams said the crowd was motivated by the teachings of their flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo.
“Look, if that is the way we’ll do our politics then Nana Akufo-Addo cannot go to all places in this country to campaign. Because there are NDC supporters everywhere, when we got to Kokompe there were huge NDC supporters following President Mahama but the indiscipline Nana-Akufo Addo has preached to his supporters led them to misbehave towards the president,” Adams said.
He added: “We were just passing through the area, where the incident happened is a known NPP spot as they had hoisted a big flag of Akufo-Addo, so clearly the people were NPP supporters who wanted to embarrass the President. But just as Michelle Obama said. When they go low, we go high, when they do their all-die be-die stuff, we’ll show them that we are matured and we do clean politics.”

AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE WITH THESE VILLAGE FOLKS, THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND LIES. THE ENVIRONMENTS THEY LEAVE BEHIND IN THE VILLAGES LOOKED MORE DEGRADING THAN EVEN KOKOMPE. SO JUST POUR TWO TEASPOONS FULL MILK OF EVAPORATED MILK INTO THEIR SOAKINGS WITH 20 PESEWAS WORTH OF GROUNDNUT AND YOU WILL HAVE THEM MISBEHAVE IN THAT MANNER TO EVEN CHRIST. BUT THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID OF THE NDC VILLAGE FOLKS. WHO ARE MORE REFINED AND INFORMED. OYARIFA, DAMFA,ABLEKUMA, ABOKOBI AND FRAFRAHA, ARE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF WHAT TRANSPIRED.
WAS THAT HOOTING OR A SIGN FOR CHANGE. AND WHO SAYS ALL THE PEOPLE ARE MEMBERS OF NPP? FOOOLISH TALK.
Where was Nana Akuffo Addo when the hooting was going on. So if you open your mouth to talk and you don't mention Nana Addo's name, you will die.We will continue to hoot at Mahama,your end has come and we will investigate who killed Atta Mills.
Unfortunately, it is you Kofi Adam who are going down into the gutters! This is not the first time (nor would it be the last) that a campaign caravan has been hooted at! For you to now attribute ONE such incident to the Opposition Party leadership is to show how desperate you are to win these elections and cling to power! Little wonder you act holier than thou only to instigate AFRICAWATCH to print despicable things. Your attempts at pulling your opponents down will not fly this time round!
Ofcourse we wont behave like them but rather we channel our energy towards winning election as we always do and they will end up crying. Long live JM, long live NDC and long live GHANA.
