The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pointed fingers at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the violence that marred the voters registration exercise.
Addressing the press, General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu insisted the opposition NDC has always been known for violence and did exactly that during the exercise.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the NDC, in their usual fashion, continued with their acts of violence against innocent Ghanaians and on members of the NPP during the registration exercise. You would recall that John Mahama is on record as having told Ghanaians that when it comes to violence, no political party in the country can match the NDC.
He added, “It is thus not surprising that during this mass registration, the NDC hooligans were again at their best visiting mayhem on our people.”
The party further called on former president John Mahama to apologize for his ethnocentric comments during the registration exercise. Mr Mahama had accused the NPP of maligning Voltarians by using the military to intimidate them.
The NPP said, “happily, ladies and gentlemen, in a reported Facebook live session held on tour in Kete Krachie, the leader of the NDC, John Mahama, having initially bastardized the voter registration, has now conceded that the exercise has been successful. So, we, in the NPP expect him to apologise to the nation for the dangerous ethnic sentiments he raised, jeopardizing the security of the state with unwarranted attacks.
His actions which were mirrored by the leadership of his party unduly created fear and raised political tension in the country. Certainly, Ghanaians didn’t deserve this from an immediate past President of this great country who is again seeking the mandate.”
