Apam (C/R), Feb. 24, GNA - The Central Regional Chairman of the NDC,= Mr Samuel Adu Yeboah, has urged the NPP, especially its parliamentarians, 93t= o play matured politics" and stop the petty politicking.
He cautioned that if such immature politicking is not stopped, the country's donor partners would not take Ghanaians serious. In an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Apam, Mr Yeboah said trivial issues were dragged on for a long time, affecting development, and it was also not good for the nation's democratic maturity.
The NDC Chairman cited the recent State of the Nation Address given by President J.E.A. Mills in Parliament, which contained a lot of issues of importance especially that of infrastructural development. He said the NPP Parliamentarians decided not to see anything good in the address but rather chose to attack the President for not recognizing th= e Chief Justice and former President Kufuor.
"Even after the President's explanation and apology to the former President and the Chief Justice, they are still behaving immaturely". Mr Yeboah, who was the former NDC MP for Agona East, said Ghana's democracy 93had travelled a long way", and advised the MPs not to be pet= ty. The NPP had eventually turned the country into George Orwells' ficti= on, "Animal Farm".
"The NPP and its supporters do not see any good in everything done b= y the NDC but if the same thing was done by the NPP their supporters see it a= s good". Mr Yeboah appealed to the NPP to desist from actions, which could tarnish the enviable record the country had achieved in democratic governance.
