The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a statement demanding that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) rein in Kevin Taylor over his incessant attacks on former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
In a strongly worded press release issued on May 8, 2026, the NPP described the attacks as a desecration of a national icon.
They further called on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to rein in Taylor, who they alleged has deep ties to the party.
According to the NPP, the vicious attacks by Kevin Ekow Taylor against His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor are not politics but a desecration.
They added that President Kufuor rescued this nation from economic collapse, strengthening Ghana’s democracy, earning the admiration of Ghana and the world.
The NPP statement, signed by the Director of Communication Richard Ahiagbah, wrote, “STOP THE SACRILEGE: THE NDC MUST REIN IN KEVIN TAYLOR OVER HIS ATTACKS ON PRESIDENT KUFUOR.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the sustained and vicious attacks by Kevin Ekow Taylor against His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor, former President of the Republic of Ghana. This is not politics. This is desecration. President Kufuor rescued this nation from economic collapse, strengthened our democracy and earned the admiration of Ghana and the world.
He is not a partisan target; he is the father of this nation. Any society that permits the vilification of such a man without consequence has lost its moral footing. The NDC’s silence is not neutrality.
It is complicity: Kevin Taylor’s deep and well-documented ties to the NDC machinery make it impossible for the NDC to feign innocence. When a known operative verbally assaults a former President and the leadership of the NDC watches in silence, their silence becomes an endorsement, enabling the deviance”.
The NPP in their statement further mad two demands, saying. “The NPP demands the following from the leadership, especially from H.E. President John Dramani Mahama:
1. President Mahama and the NDC must immediately dissociate themselves from the attacks on the person and legacy of President Kufuor
2. Kevin Taylor must issue a full, unqualified, and public apology to President Kufuor. There are lines that decency, culture, and conscience forbid us from crossing, and suck behaviour is one of them. The NDC must decide whether it will stand with our shared cultural values or with the savagery of Kevin Taylor
Ghana is watching and taking note of the indifference of the NDC and the Mahama administration”.
