The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has slammed remarks by Abuakwa South MP Samuel Atta Akyea, referring to its flagbearer, John Mahama, as a “drunkard.”
On August 27, 2024, Atta Akyea made remarks during a mini-rally that seemed to imply that Mr. Mahama was an alcoholic, which enraged the NDC.
In a statement released on Thursday, August 29, the NDC’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, condemned Atta Akyea’s remarks as “reckless and unfounded.”
“For the record, H.E. John Dramani Mahama is not a drunkard. He is a distinguished statesman whose commitment to the well-being and progress of Ghana is unquestionable. His track record in public service and his enduring leadership qualities speak for themselves,” Kwetey stated.
The NDC also criticized the comments, claiming that they not only undercut the decorum of political discourse but also represent the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s desperation in the face of an impending electoral defeat.
