A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team Felix Kwakye OFosu has tongue lashed the leadership of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), claiming that they founded the party along tribal grounds with the sole aim of causing distress in Ghana.

"The leadership of the New Patriotic Party, has made it clear that their party is an Akan party.Nana Akuffo-Addo stood at Koforidua and replaced the NPP, with just one tribe(Akan).

"The National Chairman of the NPP who is incidentally a Ga, stated on live television that the presidency of Ghana, is the birth right of Akans and that because Akans rose up in Cote d'Ivoire, Akans in Ghana would rise up if their birth right to the presidency is stolen from them", he said.

His critic was borne out of the NPP’s condemnation of President Mahama’s plea to the people of Nankpanduri to vote for him because it was time to have their "own as president".

The said quote received a devastating admonition from the camp of the NPP, who believed the comment was tribal centered.

However, Felix Kwakye Fosu who is a loyalist of Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP) observed that President Mahama was right to ask his kinsmen to support and vote for him in this year’s elections.

He thereafter cautioned members of the NPP on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana not to shove the NDC into the tribal web they have built in Ghanaian politics, since they (NPP) were tribally inclined.

"Who can say that the Okyenhene does not support Nana Addo? It is his duty to support Nana Addo because he is one of his own and there is absolutely nothing wrong with supporting a clansman...let not a party that is so tribal inclined that at the back of their mind they have it there that unless you are an Akan, you do not belong to the NPP...let them not come and speak about tribal politics, President Mahama has not engaged in any tribal politics.

It is they who have made it a point that if you are not an Akan, you won’t even become flag bearer of that party," Mr. Ofosu claimed.
