With victory coming the way of the NDC in this year�s election, leading members in the NPP including their presidential candidate, have resorted to �unintelligent� plots to mudsling President Mahama, Mr. John Jinapor has said. He lambasted the NDC�s main political opponent for dragging President Mahama�s name through the mud and incessantly referring to him as corrupt. In a �60 Minutes� interview with Radio Gold, the spokesperson for the president noted that it is about time the unsubstantiated allegation peddled against his boss ended. He directly attacked the leadership of the NPP labeling them as �cowards� who are hiding behind social medium to spew lies about President Mahama. In his view, leading members in the NPP know for a fact that defeat is staring directly into their faces, and for this reason, carelessly �throwing in everything� to get the NDC confused. Mr. Jinapor further alleged that for some time now, the NPP camp has been unleashing concocted and false stories to dint the image of his boss. �Unfortunately, they (NPP leaders) are cowards. They can�t do that frontally and so they try to use social media, unanimous letters here and there, they spend monies to print out leaflets�and in one of them; they claim that the President has bought British Airways. The value of British Airways is more than the whole of Ghana,they are concocting stories here and they are not doing it intelligently. The same person has bought this, he has done this, and he�s transferred money here...I mean one person, in two months how can you do that? But Ghanaians are discerning and I believe that they will teach the NPP a lesson�, Mr. Jinapor established. He opined that there was an urgent need for voters to vote against the NPP in this year�s election so that the party could do a proper retrospection about why certain lies need not be told when the truth was out there. �I thought that even if serial callers were doing that we could have forgiven them, but unfortunately, the flagbearer himself, is caught in that quagmire. He went to campaign and do you know his message, that he has never been accused of corruption...when you get your boys to accuse the president and then you turn around and ride on that...all of us can do that but that the president has asked us to demonstrate a certain level of responsibility to show that we are level-headed�, he said. Mr. Jinapor warned the NPP to desist from such actions since the NDC could do same to Nana Addo who he believes can�t stand the test of time for an �hour� should the same thing be done to him. He concluded that it was out of desperation for power that the NPP had stuck to their dogmatic way of sabotaging the hard earned image of the president.
