A National Chairman hopeful of the New Patriotic Party, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, has admonished his competitors in the chairmanship race to eschew casting of insinuations, heaping vitriolic attacks and fabricating stories against one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always the norm that during competitions such as the ones we are having, in order to get the upper hand, aspirants go overboard to peddle falsehoods against opponents. We must desist from such acts\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we take one another to the cleaners, how do we build bridges after the elections? How do we remain united after the competition? We must stop lying against one another, and that\u2019s what can bring unity after elections,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n
He urged the delegates to reject aspirants who come with messages attacking opponents and lying against them.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy appeal to the party\u2019s delegates is that, they should reject messages that seek to denigrate other aspirants or candidates. They may come up with all manner of falsehoods against those who are likely to be crowned winners, just disregard such people and their messages,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
