David Assuming of Shai Osu-Doku, and Sampson Ahi of Juaboso, say the  former Foreign Affairs Minister\u2019s comments were ethnocentric and could  incite tribal violence. Nana Akufo-Addo told party supporters in the  Eastern Region on Tuesday February 8 that the NPP will not tolerate  attempts by members of the NDC to intimidate its members in the 2012  General Elections.<br \/>\nAccording to him, the NPP was founded by men of courage who are ready to die for the party if need be to wrestle power in 2012.<br \/>\nHis  comments have since drawn widespread condemnation from some members of  the public and party bigwigs of the NDC, with some suggesting the NPP  flag bearer may be planning to engineer troubles during the 2012 polls.  Hon. Sampson Ahi told Citi News the NDC is equally ready for battle if  it becomes necessary.<br \/>\n\u201cYou want the mandate to come and serve  Ghanaians so you have to sell your message and when they buy your  message, you assume the presidency and accept them. So it is not guns or  cutlasses that we are going to use to get that mandate. So he should be  warned and know that we in the NDC are not children. If he is prepared  for war, we will also meet him\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cBut I thought that he  is a matured politician and I never expected him to make such  statements. It is becoming unbecoming of him. I belong to NDC and there  are equally rough people who can insult and talk shit like the people in  NPP do. But because of the interest of the State, that is why we don\u2019t  come out with certain things. But I can assure him that if he wants  Ghana to burn in 2012, he will have it because we won\u2019t fold our arms  and watch. Even when they were in power we matched them. So NDC matching  NPP is a small thing for us. So I just want to advise that he comes out  and apologize to Ghanaians for insulting them\u201d he said.<br \/>\nOn his  part, Hon. David Assuming, MP for Shai Doku, said if Nana Addo fails to  apologise, Ghanaians must not take him serious as one who wants to lead  the country.<br \/>\nHe said the comment has the propensity to scare away  potential investors. But the Communications Director of the NPP, Hon.  Nana Akomea, has told Citi News the campaign team will not render an  apology, insisting that the flagbearer\u2019s comments were rather inspiring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some disgruntled NDC members of Parliament have descended heavily on NPP Flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, over his \u201call die be die\u201d remarks.
