General Secretary for the opposition New Patriotic Party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly known as Sir John, has accused elements in the National Democratic Congress of plotting to put out in the open, posters with the image of NPP Vice – Presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a way of breaking the front of the NPP and diverting attention from ongoing events at the Supreme Court Presidential Election Petition.

Sir John, speaking on Peace FMs Evening News, revealed that certain contacts of his had informed him weeks ago that the NDC had met to scheme the printing of such posters and said that he realized the truth of the information given him when he finally saw a copy of the posters. Sir John, therefore, advised all party members and Ghanaians to be on the lookout for such posters when they are eventually posted and to burn or destroy them immediately they sight one.

“The NDC has seen that things are falling apart for them at the Supreme Court. We all saw today how Afari Gyan was battling with himself. It is because of this that, the NDC has schemed to print posters of Dr. Bawumia, and put it out to divert our attention from the court and their difficulties, but it won’t work, because everyone knows they are behind it. Some weeks ago I had one of my contacts who sat in a meeting to scheme these things inform me of this plan, and I indeed saw the truth in it when I was shown a copy of the poster. It is now very clear that, we are on course to get justice at the Supreme Court, and that is what we are all preparing towards; to see how we are going to govern this nation from this year to 2016, and I am pleading with everybody to burn or destroy these posters when they come out,” he said.

Sir John described Dr. Bawumia as one of the most intelligent and humble people he had come across, saying that every Ghanaian should say a word of prayer for the womb that bore Dr. Bawumia. He noted that, Dr. Bawumia, as brilliant as he is, was able to analyze and develop a solid case for the petitioners at the Supreme Court, which he had brilliantly defended as their key witness, adding, the respondents were unsuccessfully falling over themselves to untangle themselves from the web the petitioners had woven around them.
