David Prah, Eastern Regional NPP Communications Director
The Eastern Regional Communications Director of the governing New Patriot Party (NPP), David Prah, has slammed the former President and flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, for his recent divisive comment.
The NPP communicator says the former President is “being too ethnocentric in his political discourse.”
He noted that the recent reference to Akyem people as ‘Sakawa’ by the former President is in bad taste, adding that the comments made by the former President defines the innate hatred he has for the Akyem people and people living in the Eastern Region.
He wondered if the former President will be able to visit the region to campaign after blatantly disrespecting its entire residents, including its traditional leaders.
Status
Speaking to the media in Koforidua yesterday, Mr David Prah said the comments by Mr Mahama denigrates his status as a former President and a statesman, urging him to let his actions reflect his status.
“Mr Mahama should speak maturely and respect his office as a former President,” he said.
“For such a personality to say ‘Akyem Sakawa’ is very disturbing to the people of Eastern Region and Akyems. How can you come and campaign ahead of the general elections on the soil of those you claim are fraudsters? We, the Eastern Regional wing of the NPP, are highly disappointed in His Excellency John Dramani Mahama for his ethnic bigotry. We are waiting patiently for him to come to the Eastern region for his campaign,” he added
