General News of Tuesday, 5 February 2019Source: XYZDemanding apology from Mahama over ‘boot for boot’ comment unfair – CHRAJ bossJoseph Whittal, CHRAJ BossThe Commissioner for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) Joseph Whittal has described calls for former President John Mahama to apologize for his explosive reaction in the aftermath of the mayhem that characterized the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election as unfair. “I want to sound a caution that NDC has a revolutionary root and when it comes to unleashing violence no one can beat us to that,” Mahama said. The NDC withdrew from the by-election which was won by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Lydia Alhassan following the violence. The chairman of National Peace Council Professor Emmanuel Asante urged the former president and other political leaders to be circumspect in their utterances. He told Francis Abban on Morning Starr Monday that it was unfair to demand an apology from Mahama when same was not demanded from others including the Interior Minister and the National Security.
