The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday deplored what it called lies and vile propaganda the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) was dishing to the NDC and the unsuspecting public.
???? The NDC said: “we urge the NPP to return to the politics of civility and we will reciprocate.”
???? Dr. Nii Josiah Aryeh, General Secretary of NDC in a statement headed” “Response to the Fluent and Pathological Lies of the NPP,” said:
“The NDC has never found it necessary to attack the character and personal integrity of Mr Kufuor and leading members of the NPP.”
???? He said on account of Mr Dan Botwe, NPP General Secretary’s attack on Professor Evan Atta Mills, NDC Flagbearer the NDC would now abandon that policy.
???? Dr Aryeh said: “We intend to expose Mr Kufuor, warts and all, to the public.”
???? He said: “Only this morning, Mr Kwabena Agyepong, the Press Secretary to Mr. Kufuor, was reported in the Statesman to have made claims about the relationship between the former President and the NDC’s Flagbearer.
???? “The Press Secretary’s statements were calculated to inflame feelings and grossly misrepresent statements made by the former President on Voice of America.
???? “This is what the NPP thrives on – misrepresenting and misquoting the words of leading members of our party for political advantage.? The NPP represents hypocrisy of the highest order.”
???? Dr Aryeh said unfortunately while the tactic worked on an initially unsuspecting audience, “Ghanaians are now wide awake to the fact that the NPP would deceitfully and opportunistically wade into such public statements for propaganda purposes.”
