President John Mahama has crowned the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) champions in vitriolic attacks in Ghana’s body politic.
“They are even quick to threaten people who differ with the opinions of the leader with physical harm. It is clear that they have already won an Olympic gold medal in insults,” he stated.
President Mahama made the comment while addresing party members at Cape Coast during NDC's campaign launch, Sunday.
According to him, "those who can hurl the most verbal abuse are those hailed most in the largest opposition party".
The President expressed worry at the development in the political party that prides itself as democratic since “the verbal abuse has led to a culture of silence in the largest opposition party".
“…It has been the characteristics and a feature in this  elections; that the EC is attacked every step of the way by the NPP. And it is part of the strategy to discredit the EC.
President Mahama said he is now immune to the insults from members of the NPP since even "former President Kufuor on whose trackrecord they using to come back to power is not spared".
“….The mark of a leader is one that is able to unite his supporters behind him. They are now quick to commend people who hurl insults at me and my government. Even the former President Kufuor has not been spared the brunt of their attacks.
