"We Won't Behave Like the NDC in 2004"

The Eastern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Adi Ankamah, has stated that the party is full of matured politicians and that they are not going to behave the way the NDC did in the 2000 general elections.

Nana Adi Ankamah was speaking to the Chronicle in an exclusive interview about the latest political atmosphere in the country at Koforidua last week.

He observed that the NDC is not playing its opposition role but rather criticizing for criticising sake and thus is making Ghanaians to know them better.

The party chairman said if the Convention People's Party (CPP) is calling for early elections then they should go to Wulensi and contest the by-election first.

"Even the CPP failed to field a candidate in the Wulensi by-election. How many seats have they been able to win and they are calling for fresh general elections? He queried.

The politician said if both the NDC and the CPP are claiming that the NPP has failed Ghanaians "then they are looking at the wrong direction. they should turn round and look at the proper direction where they would see the good things the NPP government is doing."

"I pray to God that he will give them new sharp spectacles for them to be to see," he teased his opposition members.

Asked to comment on a Sunday Talking Point programme shown on Ghana Television (GTV) a week or two ago, Nana Adi Ankamah called on Kwesi Pratt, A CPP leading member, to show where he got the documents he was waving as minutes from a January 31 cabinet meeting.

Meanwhile, a cross section of the public the Chronicle talked to have described the releasing of official documents by wrong means as real sabotage.

"Those who released the document must also be brought to book since it is a breach of oath of secrecy," he pointed out.
