General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has descended heavily on the leadership of ‘Aagbe wɔ’ demonstration.
John Boadu described them as a “bunch of hypocrites” who only acts when members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) fall foul of the law.

A group under the identity The Inter-Party Coalition in Defence of National Sovereignty on Thursday February 7, 2019 hit the streets of Accra to protest the violence that ensued at La Bawaleshie during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election last Thursday.
The group made up of members of the opposition NDC, Peoples National Convention (PNC) among others are part the protest march which they say is only the start of a series of activities they intend to embark on to pile pressure on government.
The demonstrators clad in red, are demanding justice for the injured.

Chairman of the Coalition, Bernard Mornah said the purpose of the demonstration is to demand the immediate resignation of the IGP, David Asante Apietu and the Minister of State in charge of National Security, Mr. Bryan Acheampong.
But speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Thursday, John Boadu said he is not surprised at the conduct of the opposition.
He however, questioned where the protestors were when members of the NPP were brutalized in Akwatia, Chereponi and Talensi by-elections.

“When Azorka boys were killing and maiming our members, did they demonstrate? As for Bernard Mornah I’m not surprised. In Talensi when his candidate was part, he is not protest. Bunch of hypocrites” the NPP man fumed.
John Boadu urged Ghanaians to ignore the naysayers whose only aim is to paint a gloomy picture of the country.
“We must not kowtow to some of these people whose main agenda is to unleash violence on people”.
