Desperate Mahama Using Lies to Pitch Voltarians Against NPP

A Deputy Campaign Manager in charge of Communication of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid has insisted former president John Mahama in his desperation to win power again has decided to pitch Ewes against the NPP with lies.

According to him, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is leading his party members to press ethnic charges against the governing NPP government with regards to the ongoing voters registration exercise for their own political interest.

Speaking at a press conference Mustapha Hamid said, “What the NDC is doing is just to pitch us, the NPP, against the good people of the Volta Region”, adding: “All that we are asking for is for Ghanaians to register – Ghanaians, not foreigners.”

“Before coming here, I checked the figures from the EC’s website and over 800,000 people have registered in the Volta Region. Over 800,000. It’s just a 100,000 short of the 2016 figures.”

“Now, if people are being suppressed in the Region, will we have such figures coming from there?” he quizzed.

He added, “I’m very sure by the time EC finishes this registration, they will hit the 900,000-mark the Region had in 2016”, wondering: “Where is the suppression?”

“John is desperate, we all see how desperate he is, so, he will say anything to court support from Ghanaians but it’s a lie, we know what he did when given the opportunity to serve as leader of this country.”

John Dramani Mahama had accused the President Akufo Addo led government of using the military to intimidate Ewes in the Volta region from registering.

He said, “the road President Akufo-Addo is taking our beautiful country through, using the military and party thugs to stop people from exercising their right to register and vote in the upcoming December elections, is dangerous and unacceptable”.

He added, “there have been many reports and video evidence, like the one in this post, of the President’s deployment and discriminatory use of soldiers to target our brothers and sisters in the Volta Region and wherever there are settlements of Voltarians and non-Akans”.
