The ruling party, the new patriotic party, has accused former president John Dramani Mahama of peddling fakes to the diplomatic community over the security situation in Ghana because of his desperation for power.

It will be recalled that Mr. Mahama hosted the diplomatic community at Peduase Lodge on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 in order to present the position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the West Wuogon Ayawaso West election shootout. diplomats.

In one of the videos, the former president said he attended the funeral of Ayawaso West Wuogon, MP, Emmanuel Agyarko.

While referring to the burial video, Mr. Mahama baderted that some people captured on the gang were rulers of power, claiming that one of the thugs wore an earloop and therefore could not be considered a national security officer because he believes the Ghanaian police personnel do not wear earrings.

In the second video, Mr. Mahama told the diplomats that the same thugs who had attended the funeral of the former MP had been brought to Accra on January 31, 2019 to ensure the safety of the NPP candidate for the first time. by-election, Lydia Seyram Alhbadan, the deceased legislator's spouse.

But it has since become apparent that the funeral video belongs to a deceased police officer, Lance Corporal Daniel Tieku.

Speaking to media on Tuesday (February 19) in Accra, Yaw Boabeng Asamoah, the NPP's communications director, said the peddling of these lies was motivated by the fact that the former president was desperate to regain power .

Mr. Boabeng Asamoah asked "why is the former president Mahama so desperate by power?"

He asked, "Can this despair be justified by spreading falsehoods about security in Ghana to the international community?"

The NPP has since accused Mahama of having inspired the violence that led to the killing of the NDC, Wasihu Idrisu, in Kumasi on Monday.

He said that the former president "seemed to be the inspiration for such violence within his own party".

Mr. Boabeng Asamoah could not ask if Mr. Mahama was "sincere about contributing to the peace, stability and therefore prosperity of this country, especially as he led the country. previously and seeks to lead it again. "

According to him, "it can be said that former President Mahama and current NDC party leaders are based on security and that institutions and procedures that ensure our security for all expose us to a deliberate agenda that instils a sense of violence. political and fear of elections. the country."

He added that "that is why orchestrated escalation of the unfortunate and regrettable incidents of the partial election of Ayawaso West Wuogon was provoked by statements of mistrust towards the police and the refusal to appear before the Short Commission, resulting in the false labeling of videos for the benefit of the diplomatic community.

He noted with dismay "that it has been reported that the meeting of Suame and Tafo NDC delegates during the election campaign of the opponents of the former presidents was violently interrupted, whereas on Monday, February 18, 2019, we have learned that NDC leaders had to flee for life in the midst of gun violence resulting in at least one death. "

In cases, he said, "the so-called" Hawks ", a group apparently doomed to political violence that would have been formed as a result of the" campaign "of the campaign's campaign. Former president, and a "NDC working group" are quoted. "

He baderted that "this shameless impunity is not surprising given the Volta region's jingo statement about the events taking place on the sidelines of the Awayaso West Wuogon by-election".

At the same time, he said that "the NPP condemns violence without reservation. We should also urgently ask the police to speed up the steps to induce the perpetrators to bring them to justice. "
