The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has condemned an attack by a member of the NDC Communication team, Dela Edem on ex president John Agyekum Kufuor.
“The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has noted with utmost revulsion the unwarranted personal attacks at the person of President Kufuor by some functionaries of the NDC for expressing his view on matters of national interest”.
According to the NPP, Dela Edem used some provocative words on ex president Kufuor describing him as “evil”
“In particular, the Party has noted excerpts of a television interview that capture one Dela Edem, a member of the NDC’s National Communications Team and a campaign Aide to former President John Mahama, spewing plain insults and invectives at H.E. President John Agyekum Kufoutr. Dela Edem, who was speaking on TV XYZ, said, among other horrible things, that “President Kufuor is evil, and that’s why he is in a wheelchair and has been cursed to remain in a wheelchair.”
The NPP in a press statement condemned the attacks and described it as “shameful , disgraceful and despicable’
“These unprovoked attacks on the revered statesman and former president are despicable, shameful, and disgraceful”.
The NPP has called on the NDC Presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama to condemn the act by its communications team member.
“Former President Mahama must show leadership and institute the necessary disciplinary actions against his darling boy.
If Mr. Mahama and the NDC continue to keep mute on this matter days after such horrible utterances, then we can conclude that Mr. Mahama and the NDC are in full support of such shameful utterances”.
