Ghanaian journalist and broadcaster, Francis Abban has called on leaders of the two major parties, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to publicly apologise to Ghanaians for engaing in politics of insults and name calling.
Speaking on the Election Hub Editorial show on GHOne TV, he noted that both President Akufo Addo and former president John Dramani Mahama must reprimand their party members who engaged in politics of verbal attacks.
Former President Mahama should publicly withdraw the statement and condemned insults hurled at President Akufo-Addo and the NPP to show leadership. You promised a campaign devoid of insults so honour your promise. Do so by demanding of your party leadership, that any member of your party who breaks the promises you have made to the Ghanaian people be punished.
“President Akufo-Addo must publicly condemn the comments made by NPP members against Mr. Mahama and the NDC which are akin to name calling and tribal tagging and commit to a campaign devoid of insults. Demand of your people, leadership that any member of your party who breaks the promises you have made to the Ghanaian people be punished.
“If anyone can lead us to stop the politics of insults it’s you Mr. Nana Akufo-Addo and you former President, John Mahama,” he said.
