The Propaganda Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Northern Region has described comments made by the flag-bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Germany that the country was experiencing tension because of the oil find as unfounded, unpatriotic and irresponsible
It says the supposed tension was nothing but the figment of Nana Akufo Addo�s imagination and questioned why the flag-bearer did not make his findings known to the country but far away in Germany.
Mr. Abdul-Mumin Alhassan, Deputy Northern Regional Propaganda Secretary of the NDC, raised these concerns in Tamale on Wednesday in a press conference.
Mr. Alhassan expressed worry that the NPP does not seem to have learnt any lesson from the opportunity offered them for eight years at the helm of national affairs and the three years in opposition, it has rather demonstrated its utter confusion by the way it comments on national issues.
He stated that the NPP�s attitude to the bio-metric registration also reveal the cynical posturing of the Party to any national programme in which they were not directly in charge adding, unless the NPP doubts the competence and disputes the mandate of the EC, the party�s stands could be regarded as reckless.
�As we are in no position to tell the NPP to consider replacing its flagbearer with a more credible candidate, we are tempted to think that Nana has conceded defeat well in advance of 2012 elections�, he said.
The Propaganda Secretary also condemned Nana Addo�s claim that he will make education free from the KG to the Senior High saying that by so doing, the NPP�s flag-bearer intends to distort existing national policies such as the FCUBE.
He noted that the NPP�s Government during the erstwhile Kuffour regime in which Nana Addo served failed to carry out the educational reform it wanted to do but ended up creating problems for the educational sector which the NDC is trying to correct.
Mr. Alhassan called on the flagbearer and the NPP to allow the NDC to deliver on its mandate to move the country to the envisioned destination of a better Ghana.
