Lawyer Justin Frimpong Kodua said "Today, it all sound almost unbelievable to a generation of Ghanaians who have grown up in an era of tilapia, cartoon and atmosphere of multiparty democracy and freedom of speech. Today, there are Ghanaians who take the open abuse of a President of the Republic as normal and regular phenomenon."
Lawyer Justin Frimpong Kodua also emphasized that some of the things that look so common today, like going for demonstrations, strikes were not common things until the NPP stood for them.

He said"We the current adherents are extremely proud of the tradition to which will a claim and they rolled out the New Patriotic Party and its antecedents have played in making the rule of law, multi-party democracy, respect for individual liberty and the pursuit of a liberal economy the distinguishing factors of political and economic landscape of Ghana."
