Remove the log in your own eyes" - Rawlings tells Dzifa

A statement released by the former president said "Before making such unfortunate statement, let’s remove the logs in our own eyes. I do not subscribe to the politics of ethnic bias and never have.
Former President John Rawlings has described as 'distasteful' and 'immature' recent comments made by former Minister of Transport Dzifa Aku Attivor.
The minister, who resigned her position as a result of the Metro Mass Transit bus rebranding saga, is reported to have told a group of National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters that a New Patriotic Party (NPP) government in 2017 will arrest some of them just like in 2001, when the NPP assumed office.
According to her, the NPP, if voted into power, will arrest Ewes like her and Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey – Member of Parliament for the Constituency.
But a statement released by the former president said "Before making such unfortunate statement, let’s remove the logs in our own eyes.  I do not subscribe to the politics of ethnic bias and never have. While I may not be a fun of the NPP, I know their presidential candidate is not tribalistic or ethnocentric. Whatever Nana Addo’s shortcomings, tribalism is not one of them. Some known and respected Voltarians like Nutifafa Kwenyehia should be able to testify to his political nature."
Below is the full statement:
My attention has been drawn to a statement made by a former minister of Transport Dzifa Ativor at a political event at Vodoabe in the Volta region. I find it distasteful that aside making ethnocentric references accusing the NPP presidential candidate of being tribalistic she also insinuated that because I was the finder of the National Democratic Congress NDC the electorate in the Volta region should vote for the party on that basis.
Before making such unfortunate statement, let’s remove the logs in our own eyes. I do not subscribe to the politics of ethnic bias and never have. While I may not be a fun of the NPP, I know their presidential candidate is not tribalistic or ethnocentric. Whatever Nana Addo’s shortcomings, tribalism is not one of them. Some known and respected Voltarians like Nutifafa Kwenyehia should be able to testify to his political nature.  As we draw a closer to the next presidential and parliamentary elections, we all as Ghanaians expect all parties involved in the process to base their argument and campaign rhetoric on the truth and desist from emotional and nonfactual statement especially where my name has to be mention. I implore the electorate not to allow immature behavior and pronouncements to cloud their judgment.
