The Volta Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),  John Peter Amewu has ardently said that it is never true that the NPP has targeted to jail members of the ruling NDC precisely Ewe’s when it wins the upcoming November elections as the former Transport Minister Dzifa Attivor claims.

“In fact it is unfair and not nice that somebody very much respected of a high caliber, would all of a sudden loose her credibility that has cost her so many years to come by, I think she is in the state of confusion and chaos,” he said.

The former Transport Minister Dzifa Attivor during the launch of a group called 'Ketu South For Fifi  And Mahama'  at Wodoaba in the Ketu South district of the Volta region told indigenes that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) with reference from its 2001 to 2008 record of governance shows how the party would associate itself with tribalism on prosecuting only Ewes if it wins the General Elections come November 7.

The former Minister explained that all that stands between her and prison time, is the Volta regional vote.

“I want to remind you that it is your vote that will decide if Fifi Kwetey and I will be prosecuted and put behind bars or not,” she rallied.

According to John Peter Amewu it is the systems and laws of this nation that the NPP would comply with to prosecute office holders in the Mahama administration who caused financial loss to the state, and not based on tribalism.

He noted that, Dzifa Attivor should recollect how her party prosecuted and jailed some NPP officials who served in former president John Agyekum Kufour‘s administration when they were voted into power.

 “. . The fact that the NDC acted in churlish manner does not mean that the NPP would also act the same way when they are voted into power, but all we would do is to make sure by checks that the past government was on course in managing the affairs of the state, especially with its monetary aspect,” he said.

He added that the NDC is just being clever by calling in Togolese nationals to come in and register themselves as Ghanaians after nationals in the Volta Region have vowed not to give them their votes for not adhering to the promises they made to them during the 2012 elections.

Speaking to the sit-in host of Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ morning programme, Nana Yaw Kesse, he indicated that “I am so much surprised and disappointed in Dzifa Attivor, and as well don’t know what she is afraid of.”

“If you have not committed any crime how would somebody bring you before a law court to imprison you? He rhetorically asked.

“Is she seeing her shadow running from her, maybe I would have to meet her personally to ask her what exactly came over her to make such utterances,” he added.
