The New Patriotic Party has blamed the regular
wrangling within its ranks on "elements" in the National Security
apparatus.According to the party, President John Mahama has deliberately
increased funding to the state security agency in order to enable them sponsor
confusion within the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition.
Addressing a news
conference in Accra Thursday, the acting general secretary of the NPP, John
Boadu, said the party has enough evidence to back their claim that the national
security is working against the party’s victory in the upcoming
elections.
“Much of the problems in the NPP were orchestrated, sponsored
and fuelled by the ruling party. Desperate to hang on to power in spite of its
abysmal performance, the Mahama administration, according to information we
have, has therefore put aside a huge budget and a crack team supported by
elements in the national security setup to make the job of attempting to damage
the NPP a top priority.
“National security personnel and others who have
made it their industry to invest in the creation of confusion and sponsoring
raids and physical attacks in the NPP, we are saying to you; please stop,” he
claimed.
The allegation by the NPP comes days after President John Mahama
took a swipe at its flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo on a campaign platform, calling
him a dictator who has divided his party. |
