The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has invoked curses on the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), saying it would “die politically” just like what has happened to Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention People’s Party (CPP).

“The NDC will go down in political history as the CPP. Because I don’t see how the CPP is going to win power."

"It was formed in 1949 and we are in 2020, it will never win power till the second coming of Jesus Christ. That is the same way the NDC is going to be in the next 50 years and by then I would be dead and gone," Nana Obiri Boahen said in Twi during in an interview with Kumasi-based Nhyira FM.

The legal practitioner’s curse comes after the NDC’s National Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi aired an alleged video of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo taking a bribe of 40,000 US dollars.

Meanwhile, the management of Adom TV has rendered an unqualified apology to the President for allowing Mr. Sammy Gyamfi to air the alleged bribery video on their channel.

But Lawyer Obiri Boahen speaking to Papa Nyamekye revealed that telling of lies, spreading of fake news, and inconsistencies are the basic things that would kick the NDC out of Ghanaian politics.

Nana Obiri Boahen however indicated that these characteristics of the National Democratic Congress are only depicted by the new crop of NDC and not the Rawlings’s NDC he knew.
