The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has warned the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to show respect to the president Nana Akufo-Addo and avoid the insults on his person else they will fight back in equal measure.

He warned that “As for Kofi Portuphy, Asiedu Nketia, Koku Anyidoho, and their gang, ladies and gentlemen, we shall caution that from now on if they throw mud at the president in whom we unprecedentedly and majority of Ghanaians reposed their confidence in, we will pay them back in equal measure. Enough is enough.”

The National Democratic Congress last week condemned attacks on its members by the “beastly Invincible Forces of President Nana Akufo-Addo”.

The national chairman of the NDC Kofi Portuphy said the New Patriotic Party government and Ghanaians at large should not blame the NDC if they decide to respond to the attacks in equal measure.

His warning comes on the back of seizure of state properties by alleged NPP members following the investiture of Mr Akufo-Addo.

This had often resulted in clashes between supporters of the two parties.

Mr Portuphy argued that the NDC bequeathed a “peaceful Ghana” to the NPP and hence the new administration must endeavour to protect it.

But Nana Obiri Boahen said even though he condemns the violent attacks by the NPP supporters, the NDC must also be reminded of the series of attacks perpetrated by their supporters in 2009.

"It is very important to remind them of those incidents. In our case we have come out to condemn the attacks but they were silent," he argued.
