Sam Pee Yalley The Professional Forum, a pro-NDC group has described as appalling attempts by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to distort its stance in the matter involving the Peace Council. It would be recalled that the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress during an interview said the party will not sign any peace pact. "Signing a peace declaration doesn't mean anything to the party, as previous pacts have not yielded any real results," Asiedu Nketia stated. In reaction, the NPP urged the NDC to rescind its decision. "The NPP wishes to make a passionate appeal to the NDC to reconsider their posture by reason of the national interest and desist from making statements likely to fuel tensions in the political atmosphere with far-reaching implications for the peace and security of our dear country," General Secretary of NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong wrote. In a statement issued and signed by the National President, Ambassador Sam Pee Yalley, the group said the largest opposition party has over the years not shied away from peace pacts initiated by the Peace Council or any other organisation. However, the NDC would not be compelled by any means to do so. "The NDC has always been committed to peaceful elections and has demonstrated this through its actions, not just empty words.
