National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku, says organizing demonstrations are good, at least it affords you the opportunity to meet old friends.

Recounting his demonstration days in opposition, he said that it is everyone's democratic right as such the opposition NDC and other political parties are entitled to their demonstration.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he added that they are not bothered by the demonstration of the NDC.

"At least it will also afford them the opportunity to meet with their old friends and also help them to exercise.

"I remember our days and it is a good feeling so I wish them the best of luck," he added.

A group under the identity of the Inter-Party Coalition in Defence of National Sovereignty took to the streets of Accra to protest the violence that happened at La-Bawaleshie during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election last Thursday.

The protest, convened by Bernard Mornah, the National Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), was christened ‘aagbe wↄ’, in Ga, meaning, ‘they are killing us.’

The protestors were clad in red and black and held placards with inscriptions like; 'Ghana beyond Delta Forces’, ‘Bloody MP’, ‘Ghana beyond violence’, ‘Bryan is evil’, ‘family and friends government’, ‘Boot 4 boot’, ‘Ghana is no longer safe’, ‘IGP must go’ among others.

Key political figures seen at the demonstration included the NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, former Ministers of State under the NDC government, Sherry Ayitey and Nana Oye Lithur and former Mayor of Accra, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije. 

Also present were the Deputy Youth Organizer of the NDC Eric Edem Agbana and MP for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George.
