Our attention has been drawn to a false publication on social media being peddled by the NDC with the divisive intent to create disfavour for the Ashantis, specifically, and Akans, generally. In the said propaganda piece, it was stated that people lined up the route of President John Mahama to boo and hurl unspeakable insults at him as he toured the Ashanti Region with his entourage.

The propaganda sought to strike a schism between the New Patriotic Party and its members from the Northern Region by creating the impression that Akans insulted the Northern lineage of the President. The language used in the propaganda was horrific, the insults ethnically pejorative. If not for the intent of inciting a tribal war, we find no reason why such an abominable piece of balderdash would be fabricated at all. It is important to understand that Ghanaians from all walks of life do not subscribe to such dirty tribalism.

We wish to state emphatically and categorically that nothing of the sort happened at all. Reports furnished us by our media persons and other affiliate journalists who were present throughout indicated that the atmosphere was orderly and well handled by the Ashantis and all the other resident tribes under the auspices of H.M. Otumfo Osei Tutu II.

We condemn the acts of chicanery and sedition that some charlatans from the NDC are implementing with the hope that tribal sentiments will spill over to create rancour between members of various political persuasions, especially the NPP.

It is worthy to note that the Ashanti Region has been very hospitable towards other tribes, especially the Northern and Volta. We find the said insidious publication an act of cowardice that must be treated with utmost contempt. The Ashantis are well-known for their accommodating hospitality, and for propaganda of that nature to be concocted by the NDC is most unfortunate.

Some NDC hoodlums have turned Ghana's politics into an unethical race of mudslinging, tribalism, insults, disrespect, cowardice and war drumming. All concerned citizens and peace loving people of this great nation must stand up against such "Satanic Protocol" to avoid losing our level heads. Ghanaians owe it a duty to posterity to pass on a prosperous and united country just as was bequeathed us by our fathers and forefathers.

The members of the NPP of Northern lineage have noted such NDC diabolism. They are resolute in their position to ensure that change makes manifest in order to salvage Ghana from the incompetent and utterly disgraceful governance of the NDC.

Let it be said that if the Ashantis, Akans and others did not love and respect the Northerners, Dr Bawumia, a Northerner of great intellect and strong traditional roots, would not have been fielded as the running mate to Hon Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, who is tipped to win the 2016 Presidential elections hands down, entering the FlagStaff House with the Holy Bible followed by Dr Bawumia with the Holy Qur'an. If we cannot discern the unprecedented unity in the rank and file of the NPP with such an order, then we need redemption and exorcism. It would seem that the current administration of President John Mahama has done well to cast an evil spell on Ghanaians than do any good for the nation.

All groups and individuals must refrain from such acts of destructive propaganda such that we may live in the only country that we know can best accommodate us as Ghanaians.

GOD bless Ghana!
