The spokesperson for Nana Akufo Addo, \u00a0the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),\u00a0Mustapha Hamid, has suggested that President Mahama might have pardoned the Montie FM contemnors to ‘resume their insult attacks’ on the opposition candidate.<\/p>\n
He was responding to comments President Mahama had made during his four-day tour of the Northern Region that the NPP’s presidential candidate was leading \u201conly half of the party<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201d and that \u201cthe other half are sitting with their hands folded watching him drive the bus down the hill.\u201d<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”fONRYn8ztCCc0xe91ZQur8V94baiXyKS”]\u201cWhat we need in Ghana is an understanding President. The era of dictatorship is gone. We are not looking for dictator, somebody who can\u2019t stand criticism. Within his own party, if you criticize him he will sack you. We are looking for a leader who can bring people together,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n According to Mustapha Hamid, the President may have grown weary of constantly having to attack Nana Addo, which he believes the governing party has resorted to because they have no message for the people.<\/p>\n He believes that the incarceration of the Montie trio had forced the president to take up the personal attacks on Nana Addo which he said the jailed host and panelists of the pro-government radio station would otherwise have done.<\/p>\n “Once they [Montie trio] are incarcerated, he [Mahama] is the one now leading the insult attack. He wants them out so they can come and take over from him so he can rest. They have said they were working on his behalf so now that they are not there, he\u2019s had to take up the insults himself. That\u2019s the reason he\u2019s [pardoned them],” Mustapha Hamid said.<\/p>\n
