NDC/NPP blamed for North violence
Saboba (NR), Sept. 02, Ghanadot/GNA – Dr
Edward Nasigre Mahama, Presidential hopeful of the People’s
National Convention (PNC) on Tuesday blamed and condemned
the NPP and the NDC for being responsible for the political
violence that took place in Tamale and Gushiegu last Sunday.
He said instead of the leadership of the two parties
creating jobs for the youth they were rather creating
unemployment by erecting party sheds and buying for their
supporters playing cards and draughts, thus allowing them to
idle under the sheds and resort to violence.
Dr Mahama, who expressed these concerns in an interview with
the GNA at Saboba in the Saboba District, said the NPP and
the NDC were behaving as if the country belonged to them
alone and called on the electorate to vote them out, come
December 7, to ensure peace.
He said it was only in the three Northern Regions that the
building of sheds had become a common phenomenon because of
the ever increasing unemployment situation, adding: “It is a
pity that, politicians are using our unemployed youth for
their selfish gains.”
“I visited the sites where both NDC and NPP property, as
well as stores of some innocent traders had been destroyed
and I condemn the two political parties NDC for being
responsible for the destruction,” he emphasized.
Dr Mahama said if Ghanaians chose the PNC as the alternative
to the two “violent parties”, they would learn lessons and
respect the people if they manage to come back to power in
future”.
The PNC Presidential candidate is on a tour of the Northern
Region to explain the party’s development agenda to the
electorate to enhance its chances of wrestling power from
the ruling NPP.
