The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a byword for indiscipline and political chicanery.
They have done many things against our democratic development, including trampling upon decent electoral processes, euphemism for rigging elections.
Those who openly lay claim to the mastery of maneuvering the electoral process in a manner which robs the people of their verdict should not be respected on the political space of the country.
The recent electoral duel in which their lost hope has found them seriously bruised beyond compare, is the reason they are applying rather weird and inappropriate modules as response mechanisms; some of them political fiction.
They are crying wolf where there is not even a goat and sometimes we are constrained to empathise with them.
The so-called attacks on their supporters across the country, as they claim, has lost steam so fast that they are now pitiable – their responses sometimes so cheap we wonder what else could be worrying them besides the electoral loss.
Enter National Party Chairman Kofi Portuphy with a fresh and rather crude game-plan to seek sympathy for the party that is down.
He has virtually asked NDC supporters to arm themselves, as it were and be ready to confront their so-called opponents who are attacking them across Ghana.
His call was supplemented by the efforts of others in some Zongo communities, who went round telling residents in those segments of the urban settlements that they were under attack by NPP supporters, as if these parts of the country belong to only the NDC.
It is interesting and ironic that the fact of the Zongos being the birthplace of the NPP has been lost on these mischievous political players.
Whoever overlooks the propensity of the NDC to become violent and to engage hoodlums to prosecute covert missions the like of which we are seeing after their electoral defeat, must rethink their stance.
We are still at our wits end as are many other Ghanaians as to why such devilish advice would be given to party supporters in the aftermath of a general election in which the stakes were excessively high.
Perhaps we should not be, knowing who constitute the party’s membership.
Portuphy’s advice is not one intended to serve the interest of the individual party person but to feed a general plan of prompting civil unrest with a view to tagging President-Elect Nana Akufo-Addo as violent and being responsible for the NDC-triggered mess that should follow their mischief. Fortunately, it has failed to fly.
Thankfully Ghanaians are unresponsive to the bait as they question the wisdom in inciting NDC supporters, as it were, against their compatriots in the NPP.
Most Ghanaians are yet to see a non-NPP person being hounded for belonging to that political grouping. Under the circumstances, they would just hold on to the fact that they are watching an NDC movie full of thrills.
The latest is from Saudi Arabia where Said Sinari, the man who said he would die when Nana Akufo-Addo, becomes President.
He claims NPP supporters have attacked the Ghana Embassy in a country where the security agencies are brutish and on top of their jobs.
Anyway Said Sinari is still waiting for Nana Akufo-Addo to be sworn in as President before he kicks the bucket. What a movie!
