NPP makes no apologies for calling Mahama incompetent

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has shrugged off demands from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to apologise to President John Mahama for calling him incompetent, saying the president has run down the economy which is a mark of incompetence.

The NDC's flagbearer, President Mahama, has come under criticisms for attacking the character of Akufo-Addo during his tour of the Western and Northern Regions to solicit for votes.

Reacting to the criticisms, the spokesperson for the NDC campaign team, Joyce Bawa-Mogtari, said the NPP flagbearer drew the first blood by labelling the president as incompetent, demanding an apology from the NPP if it wants a truce.

However, a deputy communications director of the party, Anthony Karbo, refuted claims that labelling the government has "incompetent" amounted to a personal attack on the president.
He told Pulse.com.gh in an interview that the NDC administration since 2008 has mobilised the biggest revenue in the country's history only to run down the economy and seek a bailout from the International Monetary Fund.

He said: "First of all, it is important to emphasise  for the records that no government since independence has the amount of resources in terms of tax revenue; cocoa export, gold export, oil revenue and loans that the NDC administration has had between 2009 to 2015.
