President Mahama will go into the history books as the most abused Ghanaian president so far—courtesy of social media.
From ridiculing to unwarranted name calling, countless Ghanaians regularly express their frustration about his administration this way.
And the opposition champions most of these name callings—therefore, it is interesting that NPP’s General Secretary-Kwabena Agyepong has stated that it’s wrong for Ghanaians to call the president a thief, his second popular name.
According to Kwabena Agyepong, the increasing insults sent to the door of the president is an indicationthat our cultural values which are meant to guide us are fast eroding.
Per StarrFm report;
There must be mutual respect amongst us for political authority and elders of our nation,” Agyepong expressed these sentiments during his appearance on ‘Hot Issues’, a current affairs programme on TV3 network.
According to him, insults and calling of bad names against politicians and authorities by communicators of the political divide just for political expediency, denigrates politicians in the eyes of the public.
He said it was wrong to call President Mahama a thief when he is outside the country representing the whole nation on an international assignment, and that he would not want to see President Nana Akufo Addo being described in similar manner when he becomes President.
He urged his party faithful to constructively criticise the incompetence of the President Mahama administration with facts in order to “woo undecided voters into our fold.
