General Secretary of the People's National
Convention (PNC) Atik Mohammed has lambasted President John Dramani Mahama and
his government officials for engaging in politics of insults.Speaking on
Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Atik Mohammed condemned the President
for smearing the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo on his
campaign platforms.
According to him, President John Mahama has been
using the "All die be die" mantra by Nana Addo to 'crucify' the NPP flagbearer,
as part of his campaign strategies to win the 2016 elections.
He wondered
why the President would revive an issue that's dead.
Atik Mohammed also
castigated the Mahama-NDC administration for attacking the health of Nana Addo
on their political platforms.
“I think we condemned using the health
of individuals through campaign. The NDC were appalled by it but it appears it
is coming back. They’re using the health of another candidate through
campaign.”
To him, the model that the NDC "used in 2012,
branding people as violent, arrogant and so forth; I think this model is
becoming tiring."
"Look, I’ve heard all kinds of peace songs.
All kinds of programmes we have been organizing to ensure peace and so on, and
if deliberately you’re stigmatizing someone as being violent . . . for me it
confirms only one thing, that the President has seen that he’s at the verge of
defeat, that’s why we’re importing this tired campaign message of 2012 into
2016," he added. |
