  The fundamental duty of any government in the world is to provide peace and security, and it controls the security agencies including the police and the army to perform this function. It was the duty of the government to provide an environment conducive for free and fair elections devoid of any form of electoral malpractice or criminal activity. The NDC government should accept responsibility for what happened at Talansi, and not try to tell Ghanaians that they only enjoy power without any responsibility.
  
  When a government is reported to have shared AK-47s, pistols, axes and matches among its thugs to maim and kill opposition leaders to ensure that they are fully intimated, what do you think the level of intimidation and pressure that was exerted on the villagers? And when years of accumulated stolen monies from percentages secured from inflated projects, judgment debts and direct use of government money meant for ghost projects like SADA are shared to entice poor gullible voters, what do you expect? Furthermore, if some NDC supporters were caught with thumb-printed ballot papers to rig the elections, how many of them do you think slipped through undetected or allowed to pass in order to stuff the boxes with such papers in favour of the NDC candidate? Moreover, I hope you have not yet forgotten about the 5billion dollars they used out of budget in 2012 to buy the conscience of gullible voters, and for which Ghanaians are being overtaxed today.
  
  NDC would do anything under the sun to rig elections and remain in power, and the practice has been going on since the NDC phase one under Rawlings, who himself displayed crocodile on hearing about the electoral violence aptly blamed on the NDC. Clearly, this is the precursor of the nature of the 2016 elections that Mr. Mahama hinted. We now know that it is going be fought with AK-47s, pistols, daggers, axes, matches, bribery and intimidation. And I urge our people to remain resolute in defending democracy in our country. Without free and fair elections, we could easily find ourselves again in a one party state like the one that we suffered under Nkrumah because; Mr. Mahama is trying to derail democracy in our country in order to continue his mediocre rule.
