Don't Polarise Nation - NDC urges ruling govt

The banner story of the Daily Graphic says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the government to refrain from pursuing actions that would further polarise the nation and prevent the reaching of the requisite national consensus to move the nation forward.

"Policies are being deliberately twisted, correspondence is being wilfully misinterpreted, programmes are being adopted without attribution and projects are being commissioned without acknowledge.

"Worst of all, it appears there is a deliberate strategy to cause the disintegration of the NDC as a party through misinformation, disinformation, fabrications and outright lies," the NDC stressed. The call was made at a press conference in Accra on Thursday which was addressed by Professor John Evans Atta Mills, former Vice-President of Ghana and the flagbearer of the Progressive Alliance, led by the NDC in the December 2000 general elections, to enable the party make its position on a number of national issues public.

According to the former NDC flagbearer, whilst it would have been ideal to accord the new NPP administration the customary 100 days political honeymoon to settle down, it has largely failed to materialise because of an avalanche of attacks and accusations the party and its functionaries have been subjected to by the NPP.
