Montie 3 will hurl more insults at Nana Addo – Hamid The spokesperson for Nana Akufo Addo, the
flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
Mustapha Hamid, has suggested that President
Mahama might have pardoned the Montie FM
contemnors to ‘resume their insult attacks’ on
the opposition candidate.
He was responding to comments President Mahama had
made during his four-day tour of the Northern
Region that the NPP’s presidential candidate was
leading “only half of the party” and that
“the other half are sitting with their hands
folded watching him drive the bus down the
hill.”
“What we need in Ghana is an understanding
President. The era of dictatorship is gone. We are
not looking for dictator, somebody who can’t
stand criticism. Within his own party, if you
criticize him he will sack you. We are looking for
a leader who can bring people together,” he
added.
According to Mustapha Hamid, the President may
have grown weary of constantly having to attack
Nana Addo, which he believes the governing party
has resorted to because they have no message for
the people.
He believes that the incarceration of the Montie
trio had forced the president to take up the
personal attacks on Nana Addo which he said the
jailed host and panelists of the pro-government
radio station would otherwise have done.
“Once they [Montie trio] are incarcerated, he
[Mahama] is the one now leading the insult attack.
He wants them out so they can come and take over
from him so he can rest. They have said they were
working on his behalf so now that they are not
there, he’s had to take up the insults himself.
That’s the reason he’s [pardoned them],”
Mustapha Hamid said.
Clean campaign
Mustapha Hamid stated that, the President’s
attacks on Nana Addo was an attempt to divert the
people’s attention from the deplorable
conditions the people in the Northern Region live
in.
He however added that, the NPP’s campaign will
be a clean, issue-based one which would seek to
address the concerns of Ghanaians.
“You are flying helicopters because your roads
are unmmotorable and you don’t want us to talk
about that, you want us to talk about what is
happening in somebody’s party. How does what is
happening in somebody’s party put bread on my
table or make it possible for somebody from
Bimbilla to take his food produce to Yendi to
sell?” he noted
“We will continue to focus on the message
because the Ghanaian people therefore, will
understand who really has a message and who has no
message. I would be very excited if he continues
on this trajectory. I would be very sad if he was
to abandon these attacks on Nana Addo. Let him
continue.”
