Former President John Mahama has been asked to stay away from consuming content in his ‘flask’ since it is fueling the violent and hate speeches in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Lawrence Agyarko, a member of the New Patriotic Party’s communications team has urged Mr. Mahama to seek rehab and avoid being controlled by the content of his flask.
“The party must prevent him from holding that flask”, he said.
Contributing to a discussion that centered on the recent violence that erupted in the NDC’s camp in Tamale, Lawrence Agyarko stated on Wontumi TV that “as an adult and former President”, Mr. Mahama shouldn’t be heard preaching “boot for boot” and violence.
He advised Mr. Mahama to channel his energy into teaching his party members how to use pink sheets rather than driving them to be violent.
“You are driving your people to be violent. Such a disgrace when you go to court and you are supposed to provide a single pink sheet, you can’t do it”, he said.
