Mahama's 'boot for boot' comment caused NDC's regional office shooting - NPP man

He said Mahama's 'reckless' comments after the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence has gingered thugs in the NDC.

“What you said has encouraged some youth of your party to bring such a disgrace. If John Mahama had condemned the act, the youth would have thought it wise that leaders of the party do not condone killing and brutality”, he said.

“Former President John Mahama knows exactly what happened at the just ended Ayawaso West Wogoun by-election but after all that he was able to come out to tell supporters that, 2020 elections will be boot for boot and stressed that we NDC, when it comes to brutality we are best”. Mr Adomako Baafi added.
