Accra: "....the NPP is just confused.” – Solomon Nkansah

The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been tagged as the most “confused” political party in the country by Solomon Nkansah, National Democratic Congress' Communications Director. His comment comes after NPP accused the President of using state funds for his ‘Accounting to the people’ tour. The Communications Director of the NPP, Nana Akomea in a statement noted that “The NDC used to decry what they termed abuse of incumbency in political campaigning. Sad to relate, President Mahama is indulging big time in incumbency abuse."

“In this campaign tour, there are over 400 billboards across the country, Branding of public buses, GBC TV and Radio live broadcasts etc all at the expense of the poor Ghanaian taxpayer. Footage of President Mahama's visit to Yendi for instance, shows a trail of over 40 heavy duty landcriusers.

“... All these expense and the NHIS remains underfunded, and unpaid feeding grant for schools in the North keep our schools closed,” he said.

But in a sharp response, Solomon Nkansah fired back saying the accusation is “laughable” and “baseless”– “Nana Akomea should rather discuss issues in his party. The NPP is just confused.” “The issue is that the NPP is shocked with the massive support the President is having during his tour.
