Koku Anyidoho gaffe: Mills is being hypocritical - NPP
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is accusing
President Mills of being hypocritical over the
continuous engagement of Koku Anyidoho as the
Presidential spokesperson.

The NPP says last week’s fracas between Mr.
Anyidoho and a member of the government
communication team Sam George exposed Mr. Anyidoho
as the mastermind behind the use of insults and
lies within the NDC.

NPP General Secretary Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie in an
interview with XYZ News said President Mills'
posture contradicts his stance against the
politics of insults.

He said “Mills had the opportunity to call for
decency in our political discourse and yet watches
his appointees use unprintable words on his
political opponents otherwise Koku Anyidoho will
not be where he is as we speak”.

Mr. Owusu Afriyie popularly known as Sir John
added “he would have gone just as he decided to
fire somebody. He ought to have done the decent
thing by leaving and if he is not doing that the
President must have done that”

But the deputy General Secretary of the ruling
NDC George Lawson disagrees describing his
comments as unfortunate.

“He doesn’t know what he is talking about; it is
an unfortunate statement to say that the first
gentleman of the land is incompetent as a result
of something that he has acted on.

“Maybe he couldn’t interpret the English very
well, it is not the local language and I am sure
if it was the local language he would have
understood”.
