Asiedu Nketia said he supports Mahama for his actions adding that members of the party would provide their own security if the police fails.
He noted that the emergence of vigilante groups is an appropriate response to the failure of the NPP government to control its vigilante groups.
"Those criticizing Mahama are doing so because they feel like criticizing. In fact, everything he said was right and I support him totally. Akufo Addo and his security people have failed to protect us so the best we can also do is to face them," Asiedu Nketia said on Accra-based Okay FM.
