Hypocrisy!!! NPP Will Not Be In Power Forever – Mahama Descends On 'Some' Opinion Leaders (VIDEO)
Former President John Dramani Mahama has condemned the 'hypocrisy' of 'some opinion leaders' in the country.
According to him, there are some 'opinion leaders' in the country who sees everything right with what the New Patriotic Party (NPP) does and everything wrong with what the National Democratic Congress (NDC) does.
His comment follows numerous bashing he received after his unpopular 'boot for boot' comment.
Former President Mahama after some members of the NDC were shot at La Bawaleshie during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election blamed the ruling NPP and said 'we will match them boot for boot'
“We are not going to joke in 2020, and I’m sounding a warning to the NPP – we are going to match them boot for boot…I want to sound a caution that NDC has a revolutionary root and when it comes to unleashing violence, no one can beat us to that. It is just that we are mindful of this country’s democracy and that is why we must be the first to respect it. That is why we are acting as a party that is docile and respecting the rule of law. But if we believe that the government cannot protect our people and we believe that the government is using its vigilante groups and illegal forces to intimidate and harass and injure our people, then we may have to advise ourselves.”
He added: “We respect the Constitution of this country and the NDC is a democratic party and that’s why we abide by the rules of the Constitution. But the same Constitution says that Ghanaians should resist anybody who attempts to subvert the Constitution. When you go rampaging with forces and intimidating people when they should come out and vote, you are subverting the Constitution. And we have a right to resist you.”
Responding to his critics while speaking at a campaign event late Saturday evening in the Volta Region, Mahama bemoaned: “the problem in Ghana is the hypocrisy of some of our opinion leaders. Anytime NDC is in power, they are always very vocal. When something happens … they are condemning, but as soon as their preferred government comes into power, everything is right: ‘family and friends [government]’ is okay as long as they are qualified. You think NPP will be in power forever”, he intimated.
