Salam Mustapha, the NPP’s National Youth Organizer, has accused former President John Mahama of hypocrisy for accusing the NPP of being a violent party.
In a Facebook post, the NDC flagbearer stated that violent attacks documented at several centres are evidence of the ruling party’s aggressive mentality.
He also used the Ayawaso West Wagon by-election violence and the killing of eight people during the 2020 elections to back up his statement.
Nevertheless, in an interview with Citi News, the National Youth Organiser called the former president’s remarks hypocritical.
“He is the leader of such a violent party. When they went to Cape Coast to elect their youth and women organisers, they chased each other with machetes and guns. Ayawaso West Wuogon was an electoral violence that involved two parties, NDC and NPP.
“There is no orchestration anywhere, you see hypocrisy is engrained in the DNA of the NDC and former president John Dramani Mahama. He was president when we went to Talensi, Talensi was a blood bath, and he was the beneficiary of it. Maybe he has forgotten but I am clearing his eyes that he should remove those pegs of hypocrisy and he will begin to see very well.
“I keep telling the NDC that the war drums they keep singing, the war drums they keep beating, you don’t know how people will prepare for it, I am the National Youth Organiser of this party if you keep telling me this 2024 election you see it as war, I will also prepare and come for you. I will never sit down for any man to lord over me, It will never happen,” he stated.
