Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has said that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will resort to false allegations and fabrication as December 7 elections nears.
His reaction comes after the flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama alleged that he had information that the attacks in the Volta Region were not carried out by members of the Homeland Study Group Foundation, but rather, the state security agencies were behind the secessionists’ attacks in the Region to suppress NDC’s votes.
According to the Information Minister, it is an agenda of the NDC to confuse Ghanaians and make people disappointed in Nana Addo’s government.
“It is the NDC’s final modus operandi in this last week to the December 7 elections. They’re going to come up with fabricated videos, photos, letters and allegations merely to confuse the Ghanaian public and make people disappointed in the Akufo-Addo’s administration.”
“I think that’s the only tactics if he has no credible message to speak to,” Mr Oppong Nkrumah stated.
The Information Minister said the responsible thing to do was for Mr Mahama to provide evidence to back his claims or provide the evidence to an appropriate security agency to act on it.
“We are not generally surprised that he (Mr Mahama) will accuse state security agencies of being behind the criminal act of some so-called secessionist. We are disappointed that a former Commander-in-Chief and a former President is willing to drag state security agencies into politics without providing evidence to the public,” he added.
The Minister entreated the public to disregard Mr Mahama’s unsubstantiated allegations and focus on important matters that could transform their lives and livelihoods as the basis for voting for any candidate on December 7.
