The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has descended heavily on the “disputed” General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, for taking interest in peddling falsehood about the PPP whilst his house is on fire. Mr Mornah is quoted in the media describing the formation of the Progressive People’s Party ‘as a complete waste of time and resources’. “We unreservedly call on Bernard Mornah to stop his lies and concentrate on solving the many problems that are slowly but surely killing the PNC,” a statement signed by the PPP’s Interim Secretary Kofi Asamoah-Siaw said: “Bernard Mornah it appears suffers from wanting to hear his own voice with regularity whether it is necessary or not. We do not want to believe that he is one of those PNC/CPP people who have joined forces over the years to promote the fortunes of the NDC against that of the parties they claim to represent.” The statement placed on record that the PPP was not formed by Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom or any one individual as being misrepresented in the media. “It is a collective, mass party formed by a team of men and women seeking to bring something different that can become a credible alternative to the NDC and the NPP,” it said. The statement suspects that the “effective and urgent manner with which the PPP has been moving threatens some political parties in such a manner that even when unprovoked, they seek to throw stones at our new political party”. It also accused Mr Mornah of jumping from one media house to another defending the Mills-led administration “while his own party suffers in a death grip”. The statement also refuted claims by Mr. Mornah that Dr. Nduom’s worked against the CPP merger with the PNC in 2008 due to his desire to continue leading the CPP to become the president of Ghana. It rather pointed out: “Mornah should know rather, that those against the merger of PNC and the CPP remain with the CPP. Good luck to him and his planned PNC/CPP merger! “It was Dr. Nduom who led the CPP into negotiation for an alliance for the 2008 elections only to have Dr. Edward Mahama his Chairman Ramadan refuse to sign the agreement that was voted on at the Golden Tulip hotel by leaders from the two parties. “ The statement said Bernard Mornah actively opposed the merger and chastised him for being economical with the truth. “Where does he get the nerve to speak against the very man who championed PNC/CPP unity at great risk to his own political fortune? Does he know the relationship that existed between the late President Hilla Limann that motivated the PNC founder to announce Dr. Nduom as his running mate earlier in the 4th Republic?” The statement averred: “We have no time to deal with such distractions. Mornah should not tempt us with his lies!! The PPP would rather spend its time more productively looking for solutions to the massive cloud of corruption that is covering our dear country and the poverty of mind, leadership, housing, jobs, money, disease etc, etc.”
