NDC are ‘unrepentant liars’-NPP

Deputy General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Obiri Boahen opened fire on the opposition National Democratic Congress describing them as a bunch of ‘unrepentant liars.’

He said he had expected the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to change their repulsive way of doing politics after losing the December 7 elections, but noted that the party, especially the leadership have not changed their way of doing politics.

“The majority of Ghanaians who voted for the NPP did so because of the lies of the NDC but even in opposition the NDC is still clinging to telling lies,” Nana Obiri Boahen said.

The NDC at an earlier press conference accused President Akufo-Addo and the NPP leadership of allowing their supporters to unleash mayhem on its members and innocent Ghanaians, following their electoral victory.

But addressing a press conference at the party’s headquarters in Accra, Wednesday, to respond to NDC’s accusations against the President Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP leadership Nana Obiri Boahen said the NDC has no moral rights to be complaining about the attacks when they presided over eight years of similar attacks, vandalism and even murder of opposition supporters.

“It is most shocking to have Mr. Kofi Portuphy lead the charge against the NPP about seizures. The NDC National Chairman was one of the principal persons who masterminded or conducted to use foot soldiers who descended on state institutions and facilities. In 2009, Mr. Portuphy led the NDC to physically take over NADMO and impose himself on NADMO until the late President Mills formally requested him to take over. Indeed, Mr. Portuphy was the one who signed the dismissal letter of Mr. Asiedu Akrofi. That is the nature and character of the person who now is charging the heat from his nostrils on the shoulder of Ghanaians and he wants the rest of us to keep mute over his own lack of morality.”

We’ll respond in equal measure to NDC

Nana Obiri Boahen further said the NPP will respond in equal measure if the NDC tries any act of violence.

He also urged the NDC to accord the president the maximum respect.

“As for Kofi Portuphy, Asiedu Nketsia and Koku Anyidoho and their gang, we shall caution that from now on, if they throw mud on the president in whom we unprecedentedly, overwhelmingly, majority Ghanaians reposed their confidence in, we will pay them back in equal measure. Enough is enough; the rains must fall on their ravings and ranting…The NDC indeed wants the nation to show respect to former President Mahama and so they, must also show respect to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” he added.
