Stephen Kwaku Balado Manu, has vow to  resign from politics and cease to be a member of the opposition New  Patriotic Party forthwith,  should flagbearer of the party, Nana  Akufo-Addo render any form of apology for his \u201c<strong>all-die-be-die<\/strong>\u201d comment.<\/p>\n<p>Mr.  Balado Manu who is serving his fourth term (16years in 2012)in Ghana\u2019s  Parliament said he will divest himself off his political clothes if Nana  bows to the needless calls and pressure from mostly their political  opponents (the NDC) to offer apology for his infamous comment.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <strong>e-TV\u2019s Breakfast TV<\/strong> Newspaper Review, Hon. Balado defended Nana Addo\u2019s \u201c<strong>all-die-be-die<\/strong>\u201d  comment, saying for far too long, the ruling government has hidden  behind their violent and bullying tag by intimidating and harassing NPP  supporters, and intimated that the NPP this time, will rise up in  defence against oppressors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Nana Addo apologizes for his  comment today, you will see me exiting tomorrow from politics  altogether; including exiting from the NPP because I have been in  parliament for 15 years now and I have my supporters in Mankranso  township especially, who are constantly harassed and beaten by the NDC,\u201d  he lamented.<\/p>\n<p>He wondered if the NDC was the only party that has  the right to defend and attack others. According to him, the NDC have  engaged in several violent activities and said far worse things, yet  they turn around to chastise others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has happened to the  Agbogbloshie issue, people were killed in front of police officers and  not a single soul has been arrested. What about the incident at Atiwa  and Akwatia where NDC footsoldiers had the gut to determine who should  be our party agent to the extent that the security agents had to appeal  to Dan Botwe to leave the scene\u2026even though he was a party agent for  there to be peace. The peace we all needed had to come by Dan Botwe\u2019s  exit from the place not those hooligans being arrested. Has the NDC  surfaced from the moon that they think they can have their way all the  time?\u201d he quizzed angrily.<\/p>\n<p>He was of the view that even if after  the infamous Ghana could be like Kenya should if there be electoral  malpractices in the 2008 elections speech, Ghanaians still voted for  Professor Mills touted as an \u2018asomdwee\u2019 (peaceful) person, then  Ghanaians can as well vote for anybody else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NPP Member of Parliament for Ahafo-Ano South constituency, Hon.
