Mr David Prah, Eastern Regional Communications Director of the New Patriot Party (NPP), has slammed the former president and flagbearer of the biggest opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, of being too ethnocentric in his political dispensation.
He explained that the former president recently mentioned that, Akyem people are “Sakawa” meaning fraudsters; a statement that has not gone down well with the entire Eastern Region settlers.
According to David Prah, the NPP in the Eastern Region will be surprise to see NDC and their flag bearer in the Akyem enclave campaign for electorates in the area to vote for them in the December 7, 2020 polls.
Speaking to Plan B FM on the line to the Eastern region, Mr David Prah noted that, as a former president, flagbearer and a statesman for that matter, he is not expected to do ethnocentric politics adding that the former president should speak as a statemen.
“And 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.” Mr Prah remarked.
This comes after a post by the Bolgatanga Central MP, Isaac Adongo, describes some elements from the New Patriotic Party as “Akyem Sakawa Boys” in relation to the controversial Agyapa Royalties deal.
The article was shared on the Facebook page of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama.
