Accra, Jan 19, Ghanadot - The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Ohene Ntow, has dismissed assertions that the New Patriotic Party may be the source of the rumor scare of an impending earthquake that woke the nation up in the early hours of Monday morning.

On Monday, the newly elected propaganda secretary of the National Democratic Congress, Richard Quashigah attributed the source of the rumor scare to detractors of the NDC.

Though he refused to mention any particular individual or group, some claim he was referring to the NPP since it the major opposition of the NDC.

Richard Quashigah had also claimed that the aim of the detractors was to divert attention from the success of the national congress of the NDC which took place in Tamale over the weekend to elect new party executives.

However, the General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Ohene Ntow has rubbished these claims saying that the NPP has no time to waste on unscrupulous and negative propaganda.

Speaking on Citi Fm, he disclosed that “If creating text messages that have the potential to create unnecessary panic is the method that the NDC may have employed in the past I do not think that they have to conjecture that other real or perceived opponents may be adopting the same unproductive and negative style…the NPP has no time in wasting its energies on unscrupulous and pointless propaganda”. He said.

Nana Ohene Ntow added that until there is substantive evidence to draw the conclusion that the NPP was behind the hoax he will take the assertions of the national propaganda secretary of the NDC as a mere figment of his own mind.

“Unless and until there is substantive evidence arising out of properly conducted investigations and research to show that this was politically motivated I want to treat what Quashigah has said as a mere figment of his own mind” Ohene Ntow added.
