He therefore urged  NPP supporters to be ready to face their political opponents boot for  boot in 2012.<br \/>\nNana Addo\u2019s remarks have been roundly condemned by  some sections of the public, particularly the ruling National Democratic  Congress (NDC) party, with some suggesting the \u201c<strong>all die be die<\/strong>\u201d comments confirms that the NPP flagbearer is truly a &#8220;warmonger.&#8221;<br \/>\nPropaganda Secretary of the NDC, Richard Quashigah, in an interview with <strong>CitiFM<\/strong> described the comments as unfortunate and indicative that Nana Addo is a &#8220;desperate person wanting to be President.&#8221;<br \/>\nBut  Mr. Boakye Agyarko, who stoutly defended his leader\u2019s position, noted  that the NDC over the years has taken the NPP as a weakling and it is  time the NPP rose up to the challenge. He was dismissive of assertions  that Nana Akufo Addo is brewing war and inciting the youth of the party  to fight.<br \/>\nSpeaking in an interview on <strong>Joy News<\/strong>, he  explained that Nana Akufo Addo was only exhorting the party faithfuls to  rise beyond what the NDC sees them to be and defend themselves if the  NDC brings it on. He cited the Atiwa and Chereponi bye-elections as  classic examples where the NDC openly threatened and physically  assaulted NPP activists in the full glare of the security agencies.<br \/>\n\u201cNothing  has been done about the DCE who pulled and fired a gun during the  election at Chereponi, but the police always come with the same reason  of looking into the case\u2026the NPP will not run away but will stand and  face any threat or attack that will come from the NDC,\u201d he vowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campaign Manager for flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Boakye Kyeremanten Agyarko has jumped to the defence of the party\u2019s flagbearer, pointing out that Nana Akufo Addo\u2019s \u201call die be die\u201d remark which seems to have stirred the hornets&#8217; nest, is just an idiomatic expression and needs not be misconstrued.
