Little did organizers of the National Democratic Congress Campaign Launch know that some unknown persons had hatched plans to mar their events by posting bills intended to put the party in a bad light.
Posters of the late former president John Evans Atta Mills looking sad and a shadow of a person carrying a knife, ready to stab him in the back were seen posted at around the new Cape Coast Stadium were the NDC held their campaign launch.
The act has angered several executives of the party notably the Central Regional Chairman of the NDC, Mr. Allotey Jacobs.
Communications Director of the ruling NDC, Solomon Nkansah even accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of being behind the “Who Killed Atta Mills’ posters.
According to him, the opposition party was envious of the euphoria created by the NDC in the Central regional capital, Cape Coast.
However, none of the NDC executives have been able to name a single soul in the NPP responsible for the act. As the party intensifies investigations to fish out those who set the agenda, a member of the NDC and convener of Victory for Mahama 2016, Abdul Rashid Musah has been quick and bold to name the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako of being the villain behind the act.
In a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com, Rashid Musah noted that Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi had gained notoriety for propagating agenda that can cause chaos in Ghana and should be seen as a “wicked man”.
According to him, before the congress took place they picked up intelligence that some members of the late Atta Mills’ family and residents of Ekumfi who have a soft spot for the NPP, held series of meetings with Wontumi and accepted to ridicule the NDC by posting the posters.
“Wontumi is a bad man and a very bad man. Long ago, he started an agenda of flooding the country with posters of Nana Akufo Addo and Bawumia. That action didn’t get him anywhere.
He started it and when he saw that he could no longer go ahead with investing his money in candidates Ghanaians wouldn’t vote for, he switched to printing this evil ‘who killed Atta Mills posters’. The NDC is monitoring his activities and he shouldn’t think we would keep our eyes off him”, a portion of the statement read.
The statement continued that “It is also very sad that some members of Mills’ family and the Ekumfi Youth allowed themselves to be compromised by the NPP. Their conscience should have pricked them that the late Mills deserves better and respect”.
