The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has cautioned members of the party, especially its communicators, to stay off ploy by the Electoral Commission and the Special Prosecutor to divert attention from the infectious covid-19 pandemic.
“The National Democratic Congress has taken notice of recent pronouncements by government officials that are clearly intended to divert the attention of the people of Ghana from the call of the President to all and sundry to participate in the national effort to stop the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.”
According to Mr. Asiedu Nketia, reports attributed to a senior official at the Electoral Commission saying the coronavirus pandemic could force the country not to hold elections this year, among others are all diversionary tactics.
He also mentioned the Special Prosecutor’s invitation to some personalities to assist his office in investigating the so-called Airbus scandal.
“We in the NDC view these pronouncements as statements designed to create a controversy when the attention of the people of Ghana is focused on the efforts of the government and other stakeholders to take the necessary measures to ensure the preservation of the lives and welfare of the good people of Ghana,” the NDC scribe pointed out.
“Accordingly, the NDC is by this statement urging all its communicators to avoid being drawn into matters that are irrelevant to the fight to stop the spread of the pandemic.
“We value the lives of our fellow citizens and will not spend any time responding to issues that have no bearing whatsoever on the preservation of life.”
He therefore called on all party officials and members to intensify public education, within the necessary social distancing and hygienic protocols to sustain lives and welfare.
“Finally we urge all state institutions to act in ways that reinforce rather than undermine the view of His Excellency the President that Covid-19 poses an existential threat to the people of Ghana. We shall overcome.”

Those desperate, but spiteful political statements, propaganda and baseless polemics are the clear indications that NDC as a Party, is doom to collapse completely. The league of the modern-day Ghana politics led by the NPP in a matured and expedient manner is just too advanced for the NDC to cope with. It is just too obvious to note that, the NDC as a player has a big problem, contending with massive difficulties. Intellectually, NDC has a massive deficit in competence, in terms of strategizing to formulate policy guidelines and compete with NPP squarely. So as to prove to Ghanaian people that, indeed, NDC is capable to speak constructively to political issues and has what it takes to assume the mantle of prudent economic management, governance, and responsible leadership. The propaganda, lies, and comics are just one too many. Indeed, the General secretary Mr. Asiedu Nketiah's style of politicking is abysmal, below the standards of even the so-called Foot soldiers, if you want to be honest.
Full!sh old NDC man...... Remember covid 19 virus does not know NDC or NPP person.
This guy is so smart a politician. Of course, if the ndc communicators make an attempt to respond to these non sense from the special prosecutor and the electoral commission the npp will have luxury of diverting attention. They should leave them to engage in their own stuopidty.
