Ghanaian journalist Bridget Otoo has called on foot soldiers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to avoid comparing themselves to their counterparts in the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to her, foot soldiers from the NPP are incorrigible and would never accept or correct their errors in the face of glaring evidence. 

The behaviour, she described is reflective of their leaders, who deliberately and consciously spew lies about the NDC’s presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama.

“NAPO mounted a platform and spewed flat out lies or deliberately made misleading statements about John Mahama. Yet when JM mounts platforms, he quotes his opponents with no lies or embellishments. This is how the fool soldiers were groomed; it’s why NDC foot soldiers will always be better than NPP fool soldiers.

“An NDC foot soldier might post ‘fake news’ when you draw their attention; they will take it down, or in fact, you would have other NDC foot soldiers call him out on it. The NPP ‘fool soldiers’ will keep posting fake news even when they are called out; they keep it up, and no one from their party will call them out!!  I don’t hesitate to block NDC ‘fool soldiers’ when I find them, because there are proper foot soldiers I can read from, so why waste energy on one ‘fool’?” parts of Bridget Otoo’s tweet on X read. 

Touching on NDC foot soldiers, Bridget Otoo applauded them for their ability to accept corrections and effect changes when necessary. 

She also praised them for holding each other accountable. 

She wrote, “@CheEsquire is one NDC guy who would call out his own party people when they share a flyer or a poster that is fake; it is called accountability. It starts with your people, so hold them dear when you have them in your party. It only makes the party credible. For the NPP, their flag bearer is a certified liar. What do you expect from those at the bottom? It is rotten from the top! NDC foot soldiers must not compare themselves to the worst in the NPP, no matter the temptation!!!!”
