This says a lot about his party and how they have allowed the culture of insults to permeate their ranks. If the NPP has any virtue left in them, their elders will call him to order.”
They also cautioned that the NPP desists its politics of insults or they (the NDC youth wing) will face them boot for boot. ‘
