Ghanaian Journalist Bridget Otoo has urged the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) transition team to be transparent in all activities related to the transitioning of President Akufo-Addo out of office
She called on the NDC transition team to disclose all the rot in the Akufo-Addo government during the transition rather than cover up for the NPP government.
According to her, should the NDC transition team attempt to cover up for the NPP, they (NPP) will turn around to stab them in their backs.
In a post on X, she said, “I know how vengeful the NPP is, and with that in mind, I would urge the NDC transition team to be an open book!”
“Don’t go and swear to any code of secrecy. Expose everything for Ghanaians to see, if you don’t they will turn around and lie on you!”
