Kwamena Duncan has criticized former President John Dramani Mahama for his recent derogatory remarks directed at religious and traditional leaders in the nation.
During a campaign event, the former president admonished the Chiefs, Imams, and Christian leaders for their perceived leniency towards the Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as well as the ruling party, rather than holding them accountable. He stated:
We have Pastors, Imams, Chiefs and civil society groups in this country who instead of rebuking the NPP, rather support them. When NDC says something, it is like we are the bad ones. They must rather joining forces with us to tell the government that, due to your wickedness towards Ghanaians, it is time for you to go. But you will see Chiefs commending them (NPP) that they have done good jobs.
In the churches, you see pastors praying for him (Bawumia) that the government has done a good job; we bless you and may God give you victory. He goes to the traditionalists and they pour wine to their shrines and ask their ancestors to guide him (Bawumia).
they are hypocrites but stressed . I am confident that the NDC will win.
In response, Kwamena Duncan, the former Central Regional Minister, characterized the remarks made by the former President as disrespectful.
He asserted that it has become a habitual practice for Mahama to belittle the nation’s leaders; however, his escalation to insulting Chiefs, Pastors, and Imams is both unacceptable and distasteful.
It is quite shameful.
