Haruna Mohammed dismisses NDC’s insensitivity claims over NPP’s August 6 protest
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Deputy General Secretary, Haruna Mohammed, has rejected claims that the party was insensitive for staging its "Democracy Under Attack" demonstration on August 6, the same day the nation commemorated the victims of the military helicopter crash.
Haruna Mohammed, Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has refuted accusations of insensitivity from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding their "Democracy Under Attack" protest held on August 6, coinciding with the commemoration of military helicopter crash victims. During a discussion on JoyNews’ The Pulse, Mr Mohammed addressed Rashid Tanko-Computer, NDC Deputy Director of Elections and IT, who claimed the NPP showed disrespect to the eight Ghanaians who died in the crash.
Mohammed clarified that the NPP was represented at the memorial service, with Minority leader Abena Osei Asare and Council of Elders Chairman Hackman Osei Agyemang both participating. He dismissed NDC's call to postpone the demonstration, pointing out NDC's inconsistency, as President John Mahama, who succeeded Prof. John Evans Atta Mills, failed to attend Mills' commemoration.
Mohammed argued that if the NDC believes in sensitivity, they must uphold it even when honoring a leader who supported them, suggesting the NDC is more guilty of insensitivity.
