Sam George Nettey has hit back at members of the opposition NPP who have imputed ill regarding the attire and conduct of President John Mahama and his Vice, Kwesi Amissah Arthur, prior to the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Presidential election petition some months ago.
The Government’s Communication Team Member impliedly stated on Peace FM’s flagship programme “Kokrokoo”, that the 2012 Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, was in a festive mood when he joined mourners during the one year anniversary of the passing away of the late vice president in the erstwhile Kufuor government, Alhaji Aliu Mahama.
He wondered why Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wore a white attire to the funeral grounds of the late Vice President if he were not in a “celebratory mood.”
“This whole week, we’re marking one year of our former Vice President, His Excellency, Alhaji Aliu Mahama. During his funeral rites, Akufo- Addo wore white. I would also…take that he was also in a celebratory mood.”
Samuel George was responding to assertions by the Central Regional Secretary for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwamena Duncan, that President Mahama and his Vice wore white apparels on the day the Supreme Court delivered its final ruling on the election petition case because, they might have been “privy” to the verdict.
Dismissing suggestions that his analogy and logic were warped, the NDC activist consented to retract his assertions if only such critics “believe that President Mahama won white because he knew he had a good case and would win the case.”
