The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described as “unsavoury and distasteful” comments made about former President John Agyekum Kufuor by Dela Edem, a member of its National Communications Team.

This comes after a viral video surfaced in which Edem was seen making disparaging remarks about Kufuor.

In an official press statement released on Sunday, November 17, the NDC condemned Edem’s comments and apologized to the former President.

“The said comments are unsavoury and distasteful. It is therefore refreshing to note that our comrade in question has duly retracted his statements and rendered an unqualified apology to the elderly statesman. The NDC adds its voice to the apology that has been rendered and hopes that this retraction and apology brings closure to the matter. The NDC as a party accords utmost respect to the elderly in our society and honour to our statesmen" portions of the statement read.
 
Meanwhile, the NDC has urged all its communicators to concentrate on promoting the transformative policies of its Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama, and the NDC.

“The party strongly advises all communicators to remain focused on propagating the transformational policies of the visionary nation-builder, H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC for a resounding victory on December 7th, 2024” it added.
