Deputy Minister of Information, Pius Enam Hadzide
has described the Minority in Parliament calling for the immediate resignation
of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the Osu Castle Militia exposé as
childish.
He believes the NDC’s posture on the issue is just a way of diverting attention from their “evils deeds” adding that they have no business criticizing the government over the matter.
“The conduct of the NDC is nothing to write home about. In fact, I have nothing to say about this issue because I don’t see why members of the opposition are so concerned about it. They are only behaving childishly and only wants to divert attention from their wicked plans” he said on Asempa FM’s Ekosi Sen Friday.

The Minority in Parliament is demanding the
immediate resignation of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the Osu
Castle Militia exposé arguing that he has lost every moral right to lead the
country.
Addressing the media following the exposé by
Journalist Manesseh Awuni, the deputy minority leader, James Klutse Avedzi,
charged the Inspector General of Police to arrest all the young men caught in
the documentary.
The documentary revealed the existence of a pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) militia that trains in a top government security facility. The pro-governing NPP militia, De-Eye Group, trains and is headquartered at Osu Castle in Accra, a security zone.

But Pius Enam Hadzide wants Ghanaians to disregard the minority as they are only engaged in hypocritical politics.
He believes the Minority’s stance is just an attempt to drag the name of the President into their mess.
