The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has fiercely condemned comments made by Samuel Atta Akyea, Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, who labeled the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, a “drunk” during a mini-rally on August 27, 2024. Apexnewsgh reports
In a statement issued on Thursday, August 29, NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey described Atta Akyea’s remarks as “reckless and unfounded,” undermining the decency of political discourse. The NDC argued that such comments reflect the desperation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the face of potential electoral defeat.
The party praised Mahama as a distinguished statesman with a sterling track record, emphasizing his commitment to Ghana’s well-being and progress.
The NDC demanded an immediate retraction and apology from Atta Akyea for his “unprovoked attack” on Mahama’s character, warning that they would explore all available avenues to protect their flagbearer’s integrity and reputation if no apology is forthcoming.
The NDC assured Ghanaians of its commitment to a campaign based on ideas and solutions, calling on the NPP leadership to rein in its members to maintain a clean and respectful campaign that addresses the concerns of the electorate.
