Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party and Member of Parliament for Adenta Constituency Hon Yaw Buaben Asamoa has described for President Mahama’s assertions that the New Patriotic Party is training thugs to destabilize 2020 elections as “nonsensical”.
Parrying allegations of the government using state facilities to train party activists, Hon Buaben Asamoah asked the former President to go to court if he has ample evidence to back his claims
In an interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie, host of Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning show, the NPP stalwart started that Mr Mahama's remarks smacks of someone who is desperate for power.
"....the former President should concentrate on finding a running mate for the 2020 elections rather than sitting on the fence and throwing tantrums.
If he has evidence that the NPP government is training thugs, he should go to court and spare us the unnecessary noise and trying to create the confusion," he added.
Last week, Mr Mahama met with executives of the Ghana Journalists Association and revealed the NDC has evidence to show that the government is offering training in combat for some individuals at Asutuare in the Eastern Region.
"I remember at the time of Ayawaso West Wuogon, there was a letter that came out asking party executives to bring able-bodied people to be trained as security.
"Since then, we have evidence that those people have been to Asutuare and trained in batches over and over again in all kinds of combat techniques and other things," Mr Mahama is quoted to have said.
But in a sharp rebuttal, the Communications Director of the NPP pointed out whiles the former President is at liberty to court Ghanaians, he should do so by providing "quality policy alternatives" and "constructive engagement", adding that the NPP remains resolute in fulfilling campaign promises made to Ghanaians, and is not interested in engaging in needless banter.
"Obviously, candidate Mahama is trying to court leading figures in our society. Religious leaders, business persons, professionals, public and civil servants, academics, traditional authorities, students, trade unionists, journalists, security servants, and many others. He is entitled to do so. But the least this beloved country deserves is constructive engagement. Quality policy alternatives. The NPP is eagerly waiting for John Mahama's’ policy on anything. Meanwhile, the NPP is fully harnessed into the unfolding program of H.E. President Nana Akufo-Addo...
"....Mahama misled the people when President and now misleading them with lies in opposition," Lawyer Buaben Asamoah stated.

MASTER SAY AGAIN. IT IS NONSENSICAL NONSENSESE.

GUM is coming
***barred word***! You think we don't know? We have pictures of the thugs. In case you don't know, we the NDC are also training our thugs at a secret location. We are ready to match you boot-for-boot. Bring it on next year, NPP!
ONE MATE OF MINE (I WILL CALL HIM JOHN OR J FOR SHORT)IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL, WHO READ HISTORY WITH ME USED TO "CHEW" HISTORY NOTES DITO, DITO AND WILL COME AND POUR ALL THAT ON THE BLACKBOARD (THOSE DAYS IT WAS BLACKBOARD NOT WHITE BOARD AS IT IS TODAY) AND FILLING THE BOARD FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND FROM TOP TO DOWN . FOR THOSE OF US WHO WERE HISTORY STUDENTS (MATES WITH j) AFTER SEEING SUCH THINGS FELT WE WERE LAGGING BEHIND. IF AT THAT TIME YOU HAPPEN TO BE READING A DIFFERENT SUBJECT OR TOPIC, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY ABANDON THE SUBJECT OR TOPIC YOU WERE READING AND JUMP UNTO HISTORY OR TOPIC THAT THIS GUY WAS POURING ON THE BOARD JUST TO CATCH UP WHAT YOU FELT YOU WERE LAGGING BECAUSE OF THIS GUY'S BOARD MATERIAL. BUT JUST FEW HOURS AFTER THAT YOU ENTER THE EXAM HALL TO FIND THE SAME QUESTION THAT J WAS POURING SITTING WAITING FOR SMART STUDENTS. AFTER THE EXAMS THE RESULTS COME AND J IS TRAILING BEHIND IN GRADES. J HAD THE IDEAS BUT COULD NOT PUT THEM ON PAPER. THIS IS THE SAME THING WITH NPP. THEY ALWAYS THINK THEY HAVE THE IDEAS AND THE PEOPLE YET CAN'T EFFECTIVELY PUT SUCH IDEAS TO GOOD USE. THEY ALWAYS ATTACK JOHN MAHAMA FOR LAGGING IN IDEAS BUT JOHN ENDS UP PASSING IN IMPLMENTATION OF WHAT IS IN HIS MIND/HEAD WHICH HE DOES NOT VOICE OUT AND ALWAYS BEATING NPP IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HIS POLICIES. SHOUTING LOUD DOES NOT AMOUNT TO "DOIND THE DO"
stop the lies, my junior brother is part of it. This is not about NPP, NDC. it's about the stability of Ghana. This must stop
Even if Mahama have no campaign message, I dont want this KIND of a president
