The Flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has warned that the NPP will not tolerate any attempts by members of the NDC to intimidate its members in the 2012 General Elections.
According to him, the NPP was founded with courageous and bold people who are ready to die for the party if need be to wrestle political power in 2012.
It will be recalled that a similar statement was made by the party’s National Youth Organizer, Anthony Karbo, who said the NDC will face stiff opposition if they become violent in the 2012 elections.
The NPP Flagbearer reiterated this during an address to party supporters in the Eastern Region on Tuesday February 9, where he said NPP supporters will match its political opponents boot for boot in 2012. “They have intentions to intimidate us in 2012 because they believe that we the Akans are soft and cowards. If that is the thinking, then we shall see. At least during the Atiwa bye-election, we showed a little of our colours there” he said.
“You must understand that this party was formed by courageous people. Our leaders who formed this party that has now become the biggest political movement in Ghana were not cowards. So in 2012 we need to be courageous because all die be die. All die be die” he repeated.
“Nobody can see himself to be stronger than the other. So we need to be bold and courageous for 2012 because Ghanaians need us to come to power.” he said.
