The outgoing\u00a0Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Professor Emmanuel Martey, has warned the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that it is alienating Ghanaians by pampering\u00a0the ‘babies with sharp teeth’, who are in the habit of hurling insults and attacks on people who criticize the government.<\/p>\n
The term \u2018babies with sharp teeth\u2019 was coined by the NDC founder, Jerry John Rawlings in\u00a02012,, as he\u00a0urged\u00a0President John Mahama to rid\u00a0his government of the insolent persons who hurl insults at the public and even colleague government appointees.<\/p>\n
