Mahama’s recent admission of mistakes dishonest – John Boadu
The Acting General Secretary of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP), John Boadu, has described the recent
public apology of President John Dramani Mahama as
deceptive, dishonest, and way too low for a
president, who just wants votes in the upcoming
elections.

Addressing the nation last Wednesday when he took
his turn on the Evening Encounter on Ghana
Television, President Mahama stated “every
mistake I made was done by good faith,” a
statement that Mr Boadu claims sought to position
the president in a remorseful mood ahead of the
2016 elections.

But the National Organiser of the NPP described
the show of remorse by the president as
insincerity and fake, and a sign that shows the
change agenda has hit him and his cohorts hard. He
has challenged President Mahama to show remorse in
totality and in sincerity and quit.

The Acting General Secretary together with the
Minority Chief Whip and the Campaign Strategist
for NPP, Dan Kwaku Botwe, is in Tamale to train
selected trainers from constituencies in the
Northern Region on the CI94.

This he said is to ensure the party’s operatives
are working and support the winning agenda.

John Boadu commended the Electoral Commission on
the electoral process so far but was quick to add
that SD cards contain total number of voters in
the constituencies instead of containing polling
stations specific register.

On issues of biometric verification machines, he
stated emphatically that the New Patriotic Party
will not tolerate a deliberate allocation of
faulty biometric verification and deliberate
delays of electoral materials to some
“strongholds of some political parties”
specifically strongholds of the New Patriotic
Party.

The Electoral Commission will allocate two
biometric verification machines to each polling
station and the New Patriotic Party insists the
machines must be of good quality that will ensure
a smooth process.

On security ahead of the polls, the Acting
Secretary revealed the New Patriotic Party will
not be the party to stoke violence, condemning the
attack on the residence of the party’s
flagbearer.

He has challenged the Ghana Police Service to
remain partial in dealing with all political
parties. He, however, raised eyebrows on
police’s inability of the police to arrest the
driver of the Minister for Local Government and
Rural Development Collins Dauda who openly boasted
of his shooting prowess and his sudden
disappearance after he was declared wanted by the
police.
