NDC DEMANDS APOLOGY FROM ATTA AKYEA FOR DESCRIBING JOHN MAHAMA AS A DRUNKARD

 




The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea to apologize for describing its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, as a drunkard. Atta Akyea in a mini rally on August 27, 2024, made comments suggesting that Mr. Mahama was a drunkard and an alcoholic which the NDC finds offensive. The NDC’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, criticized Atta Akyea and described his comments as “reckless and unfounded.”In a statement dated Thursday, August 29. In the Party's view, such comments not only undermine the decency of political discourse but also expose the desperation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the face of an imminent electoral defeat. The NDC praised the exceptional qualities of Mahama, describing him as a distinguished statesman with a sterling track record.

“For the record, H.E. John Dramani Mahama is not a drunkard. He is a distinguished statesman whose commitment to the well-being and progress of Ghana is unquestionable. His track record in public service and his enduring leadership qualities speak for themselves. ” The party is therefore demanding an immediate retraction and apology from the Abuakwa South MP. The NDC warned that it will explore all available avenues to defend the integrity and reputation of its flagbearer.

“We demand an immediate retraction and apology from Hon Atta Akyea for his unprovoked attack on the person of H.E. John Dramani Mahama. Failure to do so will leave the NDC with no choice but to explore all available avenues to defend the integrity and reputation of our Flagbearer. “The NDC wishes to assure the good people of Ghana that we remain committed to a campaign of ideas and solutions. We call on the leadership of the NPP to rein in their members and focus on a clean and respectful campaign that addresses the concerns of the Ghanaian electorate.” Story By: Collins Boateng (Cabman) for VOV News
