I have seen a video of Mr Fifi Kwetey, shouting to an audience in Northern Ghana, that Dr Bawumia was a disgrace to the North and warned voters in the North not to vote for Dr Bawumia, on account of his “disgraceful” behaviour. Dr Bawumia’s behaviour that caused
Mr Fiifi Kwetey to warn voters in the North against him, is not clear, but l remember
another lamentation about ”disgraceful” behaviour against another politician from the North.
‘This particular lamentation came from another NDC politician, Mr Martin Amidu. Mr Amidu, unlike Mr Fiifi Kwetey, is actually a politician from the North. Mr Amidu was also a deputy Attorney General, a vice presidential candidate of the NDC and Attorney General and Minister of Justice, and also the first occupant of the Office of Special Prosecutor.
Mr Amidu, in 2015, when John Mahama was president, had cause to describe President Mahama as a “disgrace” to the North and to Northern politicians. Mr Amidu believed that President Mahama’s tolerance of corruption was so disgraceful that it would be difficult for the country to vote for another Northerner to become president.
In Amidu’s words “…because of his behaviour, for the next 20, 30 years this country will not vote for a Northern President and he is disgracing me as a Northerner and l don’t like it”. If Fiifi Kwetey is looking for a politician who has been a “disgrace” to the North, he need not look further than in his party, as testified by a Northern NDC politician
