NPP condemns attacks on Kufuor, urges NDC to rein in Kevin Taylor
New Patriotic Party (NPP) condemned what it describes as sustained attacks by political commentator Kevin Ekow Taylor against former President John Agyekum Kufuor, calling on the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to publicly dissociate itself from the remarks on Friday, May 8. The NPP described the attacks as "vicious" and accused the NDC of remaining silent despite what it termed as insults directed at a respected former head of state. The party said, "This is not politics. This is desecration."
The NPP argued that the silence of the NDC over the comments amounted to complicity, claiming that Kevin Taylor has well-known ties to the party. The opposition party is demanding that President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC immediately distance themselves from the remarks and publicly condemn the attacks. The NPP also called on Kevin Taylor to issue what it described as a "full, unqualified, and public apology" to former President Kufuor.
The NPP added that "The NDC must decide whether it will stand with our shared cultural values or with the savagery of Kevin Taylor."
