It was on Accra FM, that he was heard loud and clear speaking gibberish. He was heard saying that during the recent Kumawu by-elections, the New Patriotic Party violated electoral laws, by giving out GH¢ 50.00to electorates to buy their votes. He stressed that it was robbery.
During his submission, he said President Nana Akufo Addo killed people in order to be president. That was about those who got killed during the 2020 General Elections.
Now look at the NDC talking. The recent primaries to elect flag bearer and parliamentary candidates were conducted with a register that was not credible. A register where a lot of the names of the delegates were removed and replaced by unqualified people. Dr. Duffuor, a presidential aspirant, took the issue to court and it was proven that the register was not credible to be used in any form of elections.
I suppose the NDC will no longer attack the EC on issues centred on electoral registers.
The recent NDC primaries was also full of vote buying. At least there were social media videos where an aspirant in Ejura Sekyeredumasi constituency, Madam Juliana KinangWassan, was seen standing in the bucket of a pick-up, spraying Ghana cedi notes on delegates.
Also, veteran politician Nana Oye Bampoe Addo was said to have dished out at least GH¢ 2,000.00 to each of the over 2,500 delegates.
Some media houses also alleged that during the recent NDC primaries, tens of millions of Ghana cedis found their way out of aspirant’s hands into the pockets of delegates. And with all this someone from the NDC is falsely accusing the NPP of dishing out money to voters at the just ended Kumawu by-elections.
Then he came out again to say H.E. Nana Addo, had to kill people to become president.
The founder and rock of the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings is known, on record, for murdering innocent full blooded-Ghanaians to become leader of this nation. Rawlings murdered Afrifa, Acheampong, Utuka, Kotei, Akufo, Amedume, Felli and Boakye in 1979 to establish himself as the only person to rid this country off corruption and all forms of malfeasances.
When in actual fact, Afrifa was a leader of a government that overthrew the Nkrumah regime and set this country on the path of economic recovery.
When the National Liberation Council took over from Nkrumah’s CPP in February 1966, Ghana’s external debt was $ 1 billion. And by the time, the NLC handed over to Busia’s Progress Party, it had reduced the nation’s external debt to almost half; $ 572 million, a decrease of 42.8%.
In 2000, Rawlings, who came to inherit an external debt of $1.5 billion in 1981, ended the longest single reign of a leader and increased Ghana’s external debt to $ 6.7 billion, an increase of 318.75%.
The whole of Rawlings’ nineteen years reign was shrouded with economic mismanagement and in the end, the cedi crushed from ¢2.75 to $1.00 in 1981 to ¢ 6,500.00, over 243,500% depreciation.
Here is a man who killed innocent people in 1979 and beyond, so that he can be leader of this nation. What evident is there, that H.E. Nana Addo killed even a fowl as sacrifice to win the presidency? Rawlings shed blood and in doing so targeted the pure and innocent.
It is on record that he confessed before dying that all the two former heads of state and six senior Armed Forces officers he killed were only sacrificed so that many other corrupt and guilty ones must live.
From the panellist on Accra FM, it became clear that the NDC knowing that it is going into a match in which it will be whipped mercilessly, decided to start making excuses and drawing the attention of Ghanaians to imaginary reasons that would spell defeat for the party in the Assin-North by-elections.
An NDC member appeared on social media and told Ghanaians, that as far as Assin North is concerned, the NPP will not have it easy as it had in Kumawu. He highlighted on moneycracy which he claimed was showcased by the NPP in Kumawu which made it win the seat.
The NDC is not admitting that it performed miserably in Kumawu but rather giving reasons to imply that the NPPrigged the by-elections. Everything the opposition party is accusing the NPP of, it did in its recent primaries.
Apart from adulterating the party’s register by removing many qualified delegates and replacing them with those not qualified to vote in the primaries,money was used to entice delegates to vote in a certain way. Money and loads of it descended like manna descending from Heaven.
The Juliana and Nana Oye’s cases were just minor issues used to throw dust in Ghanaians’ eyes and draw their attentions from the true nature of moneycracy during the primaries.
The NDC has promised to match the NPP boot for boot in Assin North, meaning what? If the NPP gives out GH¢5.00 the NDC will give out GH¢50.00, is that it? If the EC presents a voters’ register, the NDC will produce its own, is that it? Or, will it be Do-Or-Die, where the NDC will come out in its violent self to wreak havoc during the by-elections?
Ghana will reign supreme in Assin-North and those who cry for war will be humbled by peace and love.
