APC to sue NPP for "stealing" manifesto ideas

The All People's Congress (APC) has threatened to sue the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for plagiarising its manifesto ideas.

A statement signed by General Secretary of the party, Razak Kojo Opoku said “The All People’s Congress (APC) shall sue the ideologically bankrupt New Patriotic Party (NPP) for clear thievery of our 2016 Manifesto which was launched on Thursday, 6th October 2016.”

According to the APC, the NPP’s 2016 manifesto which was launched on Sunday, October 9, 2016 was full of ideas and policies which had been spelt out by the APC in its manifesto.

 "The NPP leadership has exhibited highly gross academic dishonesty," the statement said.

“In fact, the now Kalyppo People's Party is a political group of KalypoIncompetence and academic idiocy”, the statement added.

The party however did not state when the suit would be filed.
