The First Vice Chairman of New Patriotic Party (NPP) for Asokwa Constituency, Edmund Kyei has described former President John Dramani Mahama as “unpatriotic” for showing photos and videos of the violence that rocked the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election to the diplomatic community.
He said his act will rather drive investors away after expressing shock of the president’s decision in a statement copied to peacefmonline.com.
“I was shocked when I saw a Ghanaian and statesman showing videos and pictures of violence to foreign diplomats. What ex-President Mahama just did is unprofessional and unpatriotic because some of the video he showed was full of lies,” he said.
Read below full statement:
I was shocked when I saw a Ghanaian and statesman showing videos and pictures of violence to foreign diplomats. All we need to do as a nation is to set up a commission of enquiry to investigate the issue at hand than selling the nation out. I remember the same happened at Talensi and Amenfi West by-elections during Mahama's tenure and same has happened today, so we need to solve this canker internally rather than showing it to foreign diplomats.
What ex President Mahama just did is unprofessional and unpatriotic because some of the video he showed was full of lies, the video he displayed to the diplomats as NPP vigilante group at the funeral of the late Hon Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko's funeral has been identified to be a video of a group of police officers at the funeral of their colleague Police officer, L/CPL Daniel Adu Tieko who was shot at Manso Nkwanta and whose funeral was held on 18th August, 2018 at the Presby Technical Senior High School (ADUTECH) park at Adukrom- Eastern Region.
Ex president Mahama's action does not befits a statesman, Mahama's declaration, following the January 31 incidence, that the NDC will meet NPP "boot-for-boot" during 2020 elections as inciting violence is unpatriotic and needs to be interrogated very well.
Why is Mahama so desperate for power? Is it greediness or he is the only sensible person in NDC? After Ayawaso incidence Mr President has set up committee to investigate the matter and those on the committee are well experience and has impeccable character, this shows how democratic and fair Nana Addo is running. Mahama had the chance to investigate the violence that happened at Talensi and Amenfi West by-elections but he didn't.
Investigation is ongoing to see how and when to disband all vigilante groups in our beloved country so why the rush of selling out our country to other countries? Mahama has really damaged Ghana's reputation which won't help our development as a nation.

Mahama was the President when Talensi and Amenfi West happened and what did he do to solve the problem? Now that he is in opposition he is seeking sympathy from foreign governments. Shame on you Mahama.
YOU ARE KILLING CITIZENS JUST TO WIN POLITICAL POWER AND YOU THINK SOMEONE SOLD OUT BY REALLY HELPING THE COUNTRY TO COME OUT OF THIS BARBARIC ACTS. HE SHOULD EVEN SHOW MORE VIDEOS TO DIFFERENT WORLD LEADERS TO SHOW THEM HOW A LAWYER OF WHICH THEY TRAINED IS USING POWER TO DESTROY HIS OWN PEOPLE. KILLING HERE AND THERE, KIDNAPPING, CORRUPTION... FUCK NDC, FUCK NPP. BE GHANAIAN FOR ONCE.
Selling your country for pittance? Killings of school children as young as 5 years happens in the USA, do they call the Ghana consulate to inform them? Did Mahama asked the diplomats what was happening in their countries? Never again should Ghanaians allow such a traitor anywhere near the presidency.
that is the issue with JM. Childlike
Indeed, Mahama seems to be overly desperate about how he can reclaim political power from Nana, our President, beyond any fair means, come 2020. I just can't imagine how NDC would want to elect Mahama to lead the Party against Mr. Goosie Tanoh. So far, Mr. Goosie had been brilliant to show how he would do certain policies better than the present Administration. And talks affectionately and convincingly about his vision for the NDC, reorganizing it on its so-called core values, while Mahama is only picking up on falsehood, fabricating stories to run down his opponents for power- even amidst his own party colleagues' contenders. NDC should sit up and take it seriously to determine if it is indeed, worthwhile to elect Mahama to lead them this time when the competition is about political expedience, competence, and performance. Then, you would be living in a fuuuuul's paradise if you underrated the performance of the NPP-Administration and her political expediency. You can't just defame it with mere propaganda, lies, insults and baseless polemics by saying Ghanaians don't feel it in their pockets. This is in relative terms and you can force to make it an absolute truth when the NPP accepts there have been challenges though-yet determined to work hard to make things better for the good people of Ghana. Clearly, you can't just do away with the International recognitions making the news about the faring well of the Ghanaian economy by trivial propaganda.
Ghana is not for ndc or npp...Ghana is for Ghana and for citizens living in it,so please don't talk as if Ghana belongs to the politicians...if you've witness war you'll even applaude the former President...think!!!
Mr asokwa Edmund why will a fine gentleman like you vomit such words, who loves power more than NDC or mahama, what didn't akuffo addo say, if he has to kill to get power. please be a gentleman don't talk anyhow
Why don't you check yourselves before criticizing Mahama? Oh, so you want to kill Ghanaian without the world knowing about it? No, we will let the world know about it now, you and npp are arrogant and evil. The diplomatic community does not see Ghana as fail country but see the npp and nana akufo as threat to Ghanaians and democracy. Mahama will not hide your evil deeds he will expose them to the world. Just get that into your shi++it head)
He showed a peaceful, nice, well organise violence free videos.... So now some one from NPP can see the elections were triggered by violence. The EC chairperson will burn Ghana. Peace FM you are part of the agenda. We all know how you lambasted NDC and Charlotte Osei but seem not to see any fault now. The funny thing is when JDM complaint, then you tend to lambast him instead of the problem Creator. Better think again...
