The Director of Monitoring and Evaluation at the Presidency, Dr. Tony Aidoo is advocating that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is banned from Ghana’s body politics. He indicated that the conduct of the NPP for the past four years, if not checked could plunge the country into a civil war. Dr. Tony Aidoo was speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday. The NPP has raised concerns about discrepancies in results of Friday polls especially in their strongholds. The party which has refused to concede defeat since the declaration of the election results insists the polls were rigged to favour the incumbent President John Mahama and thus has enough evidence to back its claims. But Tony Aidoo maintained that the NPP’s claims are “frivolous” which should be treated with the contempt it deserves. According to him, the NPP who are regarded as being intellectuals should know better that Ghanaians will not buy into their tricks. “For all their [NPP] intellectual bigotry they don’t know the law. They don’t have any democratic credentials; they are terrorists” he said. The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) kingpin said “the NPP are bad losers; their repetitive conduct of bringing the electoral process into disrupt could plunge the country into a civil war”. The Policy Analyst at the presidency noted that any action taken by the NPP will be an exercise in futility, explaining that the verdict of Ghanaians is more paramount than a political party. Tony Aidoo said the NPP must respect the choice of the electorate because they are not the a repository of knowledge. They [NPP] are not our rulers by divine providence, it is the people of Ghana who choose a leader. If they are in power everything is ok but if they are not in power everything is wrong”. He added that government is not scared by the “empty threats” of the NPP but will ensure the will of the people is preserved.
