Deputy National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken a swipe at Deputy Director of Communications for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Owusu-Bempah, over his persistent attacks on the former president and flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama.
Labelling Owusu-Bempah as a mentally unstable person who needs treatment, he asserted that the NDC has an antidote to deal with the communications officer.
On his part Owusu-Bempah’s incessant jabs targeted at the Mahama is a sign of what he describes as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
OCD is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform.
“The solution to Owusu-Bempah’s mental health disorder is stipulated in the 2020 manifesto of the NDC.
There’s actually a solution we can give to Mr Owusu-Bempah and I realised that the 2020 NDC Manifesto page 64 bullet point T and with your permission I will read, the NDC would develop Pantang Mental Hospital into a first class mental health facility.
This is the solution to Owusu-Bempah’s sickness. His issue has gone beyond normal. He has mental illness. I’m not mincing words in any form or context because this is a man who is seriously obsessed with the former president Mahama and in fact in health terms is what we call Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)” he noted during an appearance on Metro TV.
