The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has condemned recent verbal attacks on former President John Agyekum Kufuor by members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This follows a viral video of Dela Edem, a member of the NDC’s National Communications Team and an aide to former President John Mahama, making disparaging remarks about Kufuor.
In a statement issued on November 16, NPP National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, described the comments as “despicable, shameful, and disgraceful.”
“Dela Edem, who was speaking on TV XYZ, said, among other horrible things, that “President Kuffuor is evil, and that’s why he is in a wheelchair and has been cursed to remain in a wheelchair.”
“These unprovoked attacks on the revered statesman and former president are despicable, shameful, and disgraceful. Accordingly, the NPP condemns them in no uncertain terms.”
The NPP has taken issue with the NDC’s flagbearer, John Mahama, for his lack of response regarding the situation, urging him to demonstrate leadership by implementing appropriate disciplinary measures against Edem.
Additionally, they have requested that Mr Mahama publicly denounce the unacceptable remarks made by his aide and extend an apology to Mr. Kufuor.
