The National Coordinator for the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Divine Nkrumah, says he will understand why persons who have benefited from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will defend it with their lives even when the party is messing up.

The young politician posited that he believes in the law of reciprocity regarding reward and loyalty.

He said when a system improves your life and well-being, it is not a bad idea to defend it.

Divine Nkrumah noted that there are several persons who have secured jobs and other gains under the ruling NPP, and so if they are defending the party even when they have done some wrong, it is understandable.
