General News of Thursday, 29 March 2018Source: classfmonline.comRenaming Flagstaff House diversionary tactic – NDCJohnson Asiedu Nketia, General Secretary of the National Democratic CongressThe renaming of the seat of government from Flagstaff House to Jubilee House by president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is a “cheap diversionary tactic” from the unpopular ratification of the Ghana-US military cooporation agreement, the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said. Nana Akufo-Addo renamed Flagstaff House to Jubilee House on the day he celebrated his 74th birthday – Thursday, 29 March 2018. The NDC that named the seat of the presidency as Flagstaff House in a statement said the name change is nothing but a diversionary tactic by government to draw attention away from the defence deal it has signed with United States of America which has been widely criticised. “Whereas this renaming gimmick is intended to be a cheap diversionary tactic from the overwhelming demand from Ghanaians for President Akufo-Addo to stop mortgaging our sovereignty for a pittance. “Whereas the NDC urges Ghanaians not to fall for this needless diversion and remain steadfast in the defence of our sovereignty and national dignity.
