Former Member of Parliament for Akwatia in the Eastern region, Hon. Baba Jamal says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a history of making tribal comments that are offensive.
He stated he could recall several instances where NPP folks had made similar statements. According to him, even though members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were not angels, they were very circumspect in whatever they said in the public.
“I want example of when a member of the NDC made an offensive tribal comment. It has never happened. We should condemn what the deputy minister said rather than trying to justify it. The Npp has an unending history of making offensive tribal comments.” – He said.
His comments follows the resignation of deputy minister for Agriculture, Hon Williams Quaitoo who made a statement describing members of the north as being difficult. His comments which did not go down well with a section of the northern community attracted lots of frowns and some section of the public called on the president to fire him.
Speaking on Agoo TV’s Yensempa show to host Bonohene Baffour Awuah, He stated that the reason why members of the NPP are known to make tribal statements is because a particular ethnic group has a dominating number of people in the party.
The former legislator said the NPP was not like the NDC which had a balanced percentage of its members coming from all the ethnic groups. This he said was a contributing factor that has led to the several offensive tribal comments by members of the NPP.

NDC Party takes its root from tribal killing. The killing of The Existing Head of State General Akuffo, two former head of states, Afrifa and Acheampong and other like Air Vice Marshall Yaw Boachie was nothing but senselessss and tribal. Colnel Kotei and Amedume were sacrifice as a camouflage to balance tribal equation. too bad. Many business became the target of sabotage and vicious attack just on tribal reasons.
If you don't want to be tribally insulted, stop parasiting and go back to where you came from and depend on your own resources. It is as simple as that
you are the worst tribal bi got I have ever know . came incontact with u in 2013 .u seem alryt but after lerning from my background u told me to leave ,pufta
Don't thread on dangerous grounds, you hypocrite. Former prez mahama words to osei prempeh on the floor of parliament and his insults to the people of kumasi. Kobby acheampong's kokooasi kroaisini and the kumasi thing in him to sir john. Were these words from these two ndc personalities devoid of tribalistic strings? Remember prof awoonors book. Clean your household before you tackle others
Oya go and pay the man you took the USD100K from. Damn ***barred word*** MF.
Another NDC !d!ot.....
He is a kotokoli and so what?Do you know when and where he was born?Go the diaspora and bring all Ghanaian's born there who claims to be citizens of those countries. ***barred word***.
Baba Jamal, fine you may be right. But you Jamal are you a Ghanaian ? Please don't tell me constitution and what and what. Because Kotokoli people are not Ghanaians, despite what the constitution says. And you're the people who cry foul when people mention the word " tribe" . An Akan can't claim to be a Togolese because the constitution says so. None Ghanaians complains too much about tribalism
