Refrain from activities that could mar NDC-NPP relations - Mintah

The Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Kofi Mintah, has urged the leadership of New Patriotic Party to restrain its members from activities and utterances, which could create bad blood between members of the two parties.

Addressing a meeting of regional an constituency executives of the NDC at Winneba at the weekend, Mr. Mintah said it was unfortunate that some leading members of NPP had launched orchestrated propaganda to discredit the leadership and members of the NDC and cause public outrage against them.

He reminded the NPP that, with its thin majority in parliament, it would need the co-operation of members of the NDC in the House to carry their programmes and bills through.

He therefore cautioned the NPP leadership to desist from activities which could endanger that co-operation.

Mr Mintah urged ministers of religion to desist from creating superstitious problems that could haunt the new government.

He said the so-called prophet who claimed that the Osu Castle, the seat of the previous government, should not be used by the new government because it harbours some evil spirits could have done the nation a lot of good if they had offered to drive away the bad

spirits and cleansed the place to make it habitable for use by the NPP government.

"A prophet who sees destruction but is unable to rectify it is not worthy to be trusted."

On the debt incurred by the NDC government in importing crude oil into the country, Mr Mintah appealed to the new government to stop making capital out of it since the fuel was brought to serve all Ghanaians.

He called on the supporters of NDC to remain resolute in their support for the party in the wake of these orchestrated propaganda to kill the party.
