NDC printing CPP T-Shirts - NPP

To Hoodwink Electorate & Look Popular

The National Democratic Congress is evidently desperate.

Unassailable evidence gathered indicates that the propaganda machine of the party is engaged currently in printing a massive number of T-shirts in town for purposes of propaganda.

The NDC, certain of defeat in the impeding December 28 Presidential run-off, are employing all sorts of means, including intimidation, whisper and tribal politics as well as trickery in drawing support from the electorate for victory in the run-off.

The NDC was caught by our lenses printing dozens of hundreds of T-shirts at one of its bases in Mallam Atta, where it exclusively prints NDC T-shirts.

Only this week, there were reports about the NDC sending out hordes of impostors in NPP T-shirts, who made attempts to snatch ID cards from unsuspecting NPP supporters, sympathiser and activists – under the pretext of arranging soft loans for them from banks and financial institutions in the country to enable them start or grow their businesses without much pain in sourcing capital.

The name of the printing outfit that the deal was being perpetrated is ART PADOE, close to the Mallam Atta Market at Accra New Town.

By paying hoodlums and putting such T shirts on them, the NDC hopes to create the impression that they have the crowd and support of the CPP youth. By that, too, they hoped to attract other youth in other constituencies throughout the country to their side – in spite of the CPP's official stand that the party has not taken a position on which candidate to support in the run-off.

They are also using the strategy to create the impression that CPP youth nation wide are defecting to the NDC.

The NDC has a vicious history of hijacking supporters of the CPP since the lifting of the ban on party politics in 1992.
