  • NPP Searching For Charges to Prosecute Alban Bagbin, A Sign of Desperation

    NPP Searching For Charges to Prosecute Alban Bagbin, A Sign of Desperation

    5/1/22
    BY: GODWIN AKO GUNN

    It remains a pride to enter public service and retire with no blemish. It becomes even better when people who worked against you rise in honor of your achievements and say in their hearts, we tried everything but you stood tall.

    Being a speaker at a time when you didn’t have the majority, nor the norminee of the president, takes something more than political backing of the minority. It takes personal character, achievements and people’s trust over the years to do it.

    I have heard members of parliament on both sides singing his praise, father ooo father. This can only come with hard work and perseverance.

    May I use this opportunity to humbly ask our members of parliament to guard their lives with all diligence. You are our pride and the only check on the free spending and looting NPP government.

    The NPP government will do everything possible to reduce our numbers by foul means.May we at the constituency level, also have the wisdom to protect what we have as we pray for more in the days ahead.

    Comrades, I laughed out loud when I heard the Attorney General has bought a new broom to reach out to every corner of the offices and ministries the RT Hon Alban Bagbin ever worked since independence to prosecute him along with some members of parliament.

    Hon, the Prince of this world comes against you, but he has nothing in you. I love what 2022 brings along. Our elders say when the mouse becomes desperate and destructive, it falls into oil. I see Nana getting there this year.

    I thought Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo sent his Nephew Gabby to JM. I thought Nana Addo sent for Hon Haruna Iddrisu to appeal to him and other leaders of the party!!!

    Thank God the line was drawn straight and clear to him !!! When persuasion fails, prosecution must be applied. Hahahahhahaaaa !!!

    I love the unity, strength and cooperation from the minority side in parliament. I will salute you any day for the tenacity you have shown and I know bigger things are ahead of us. Let me humbly appeal to those who also make negative headlines with the least opportunity to attack our MPs, even when they are told it is a misleading story. That is not the spirit of comradeship.

    But for the advisers of the president, I weep for you. This is the time to wear a wisdom cap not an arrogant one. At this time where your ministers in parliament are going up and down locally and internationally, you shouldn’t be flexing muscle.

    I love the heart warming warning from my general secretary on the 40th anniversary of the 31st Dec revolution. Whenever impunity becomes law, resistance becomes a duty. What a tone for ALUTA CONTINUA!!! To the oppressor, i say sorry, your days are numbered. To the oppressed, I say better days ahead.

    The concerned Youth of NPP in the Atwima Mponua constituency of the Ashanti Region has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) should actively engage the grassroots supporters in the party’s politics.

    The move the youth believe can facilitate NPP’s win in 2024 as the party looks forward to breaking the eight.

    Addressing the press at a news conference on Thursday, the leader of the group, Mr. Francis Feyin Akwaboah stated that, there are many instances the leadership of the party neglected the grassroots in terms of policy formulation and decision making. This he said has brought several agitations and confrontations amongst party members.

    However, if the party is indeed poised to win the 2020 polls, several issues need to be addressed and in addressing those hitches, the party’s top hierarchy should consider involving the grassroots supporters.

    According to him, the party can only enjoy long-term governance if the grassroots supporters, especially those in the Ashanti region are greatly involved in the party’s policy formulation.

    He declared that the 2020 aspiring member of parliament on the ticket of NPP in the Atwima Mponua constituency, Mr. John Ofori, popularly known as “Commando”, contributed to the success of the party’s victory in 2020 despite losing to the incumbent.

    The NPP youth boldly stated at the presser that, Mr. Ofori is the only individual who can mobilize the NPP youth to win the 2024 elections with huge figures in the constituency, therefore the party’s leadership should not hesitate to engage him in policy formulation and decision making.

    Raising concerns about the many recent anomalies in the NPP, Mr. Francis Feyin Akwaboah noted that the leadership of the constituency must rise to maintain peace and order as soon as possible.

    In other news, the 2020 aspiring member of parliament (MP) for Atwima Mponua constituency, Mr. John Ofori popularly known as “commando” has provided financial assistance of one billion old Ghana cedis to support the party’s day to day administration in the Atwima Mponua constituency.

    ELEMENTS WITHIN SUNYANI MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL SABOTAGING PRESIDENT AKUFO-ADDO’S GOVERNMENT

    “Concerned NPP Supporters Bono Region” has noted images and video in circulation in the social media insinuating that President Akufo-Addo on his recent tour to the Bono Region commissioned an uncompleted Maternity Block at the Sunyani Municipal Hospital.

    The propaganda images and video are being circulated by crisis merchants and mischief-makers who are notably NDC rented media and NDC communicators.

    We have reasonably caused to believe that there are elements within the Sunyani Municipal Hospital hierarchy who are determined to do acts to undermine the New Patriotic Party’s government in the hope of achieving their hidden agenda which is to cause the defeat of NPP in election 2024.

    We wish to state that there is no iota of truth in the images and video in circulation and therefore wish to set the records straight as follows;

    EU to return ‘Made in Africa’ Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses to Africa SEE ALSO: EU to return ‘Made in Africa’ Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses to Africa

    ●President Akufo-Addo on 11th August 2021, as part of his two days working visit to the Bono Region, commissioned a newly constructed Maternity and Mental Health Block at the Sunyani Government Hospital together with the Bono Regional Headquarters of the Fire Service and the Administration Block for the 3rd Battalion Infantry Base in Sunyani.

    ●At the time of the commissioning, the project was completed, a fact the hospital authority has alluded to in a press release issued and signed by same.

    ●Some days after the commissioning of the Maternity and Mental health block, the management of the facility decided to enhance it with their own specifications.

    ●Firstly, Partition the corridor leading to the theatre and recovery with a swing glass door.

    ●Secondly, Change the doors to the theatre and recovery with a swing glass door

    ●Lastly to Create a triage area at the reception.

    CONCERNED NPP SUPPORTERS BONO REGION

    It was during this period, that some rented Press and some NDC communicators got access to the facility and took pictures and made live videos on Facebook and other social media outlets.

    The manner in which these individuals had access to the facility and went live on Facebook gives rise to suspicions that, the act is nothing but some form of organised and well-orchestrated sabotage by some officials within the hospital purposely to cause disaffection for the government and ultimately bring about the defeat of New Patriotic Party in the next general elections.

    While we appeal to the relevant authorities to fish out the miscreant’s officials and sanction them appropriately, we also inform the general public to disregard these fake stories and treat it with the contempt it merits.

    It will be in the Interest of the NPP and NDC If the EC is Subjected to Parliamentary Approval- Otokunor

    The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor says it’ll be in the interest of both the NPP and NDC if the Chairperson of Electoral Commission (EC) is subjected to Parliamentary approval.

    Speaking on Joy FM he said both parties have bemoaned the appointment EC Chairpersons by a ruling party.

    “We [NDC] are saying, let’s tighten the knot so that we will not have the case wherein future, we will have another President who will be abusive, authoritarian like President Akufo-Addo. So that, that person will not come and take advantage of the process,” Peter Otokunor said.

  • Dr. Bawumia & NPP Government Never Promise Free Cars to Okada Riders in 2020

    Dr. Bawumia & NPP Government Never Promise Free Cars to Okada Riders in 2020

    Dr. Bawumia & NPP Government Never Promise Free Cars to Okada Riders in 2020: Razak Kojo Opoku Writes to Franklin Cudjoe/NDC Members


    I have read a news item emanating from the camp of the Founding President of IMANI, Franklin Cudjoe, and NDC Members, asking the whereabouts of the cars Dr. Bawumia proposed to the Okada riders during the 2020 general elections.

    It is interesting to state the facts and diffuse the propaganda from Franklin Cudjoe and NDC Members.


    1. Ahead of the 2020 general elections, John Mahama promised to legalize the Okada business in the Country as well as create a facility for the purchase of more motorcycles and tricycles for the riders at a much cheaper cost.
    2. Dr. Bawumia and NPP Government on the other hand proposed that We give the Okada riders an opportunity to buy safer vehicles through lease and pay over a period of time. At no point in time did the Vice-President, Dr. Bawumia says he was going to offer free vehicles to the Okada riders.

    Razak Kojo Opoku


    3. Unfortunately, the commercial motorcycle and tricycle riders bought into the Okada legalization vision of John Mahama and wholly rejected the noble proposal by Dr. Bawumia and NPP.
    The Okada Riders believed in the lies of John Mahama and rejected the truthful proposal by Dr. Bawumia and NPP Government.

    NPP SEE ALSO: The NPP Achievements in the Education Sector- Press Release


    4. The commercial motorcycle and tricycle riders jointly formed a group known as Okada Riders Association and claimed to have a membership of about 800,000 across the Country.
    5. The Okada Riders Association campaigned, endorsed, and voted for John Mahama during the 2020 general elections. They fully rallied behind John Mahama with their campaign platform dubbed, “Get Okada Votes Campaign” for John Mahama in the 2020 general elections.


    Notwithstanding the rejection of Dr. Bawumia’s Hire Purchase Policy by the Okada Riders in 2020, if they have repented and are willing to cooperate with Government, I think the Government will put measures in place for the Okada Riders to acquire safer vehicles through lease and later pay over a period of time with a payment plan.
    In any case, John Mahama is still in a better position to provide free motorcycles and tricycles to the Okada riders if truly indeed IMANI Africa still believes in Mahama’s Okada Policy.


    Franklin Cudjoe and NDC Members should demand from John Mahama to honour his promise to the Okada Riders since he enjoys their support and votes in the 2020 general elections. However, they should understand that the Okada business is still not legal and again, it is not safe.
    The Hire Purchase Policy for safer vehicles for Okada riders proposed by Dr. Bawumia and NPP Government is still the best option.

    Kennedy Agyapong Descends on Sammy Gyamfi

    Honorable Kennedy Agyapong has descended on the communications director for the national democratic congress, Sammy Gyamfi for allegedly making certain claims about the Presidency and about government.

    Sammy Gyamfi is tagged as one of the sharp mouths of the NDC.

    This was a nickname to mean that he is one of the young members of the party but has powerful words which causes fear among the NPP members.

    Sammy Gyamfi has been a key player in the current unveiling of corrupt activities which are allegedly going on in government. This alleged activities are corrupt activities by some NPP officials who think after finding themselves in government can do whatever their hearts pleases.

    Upon several warnings from some NPP officials concerning the rightful use of certain words, it seems Sammy Gyamfi is not ready to accept change on that path.

    The popular defender and respected member of the new patriotic party, Honorable Kennedy Agyapong has sent out very strong words to Sammy Gyamfi as he boldly requests for evidence from him to back all of his recent claims and rants on the media.

    And if he fails, he will make sure that Sammy Gyamfi is lawfully interrogated and questioned on which evidences he has and where his sources suggests that these allegations from him are valid or true.

    He angrily ended with a plain warning that politicians should learn how to play the political game fairly to avoid further problems.

  • NPP’s Manifesto Is Heavy On Track Record Of Achievements – Hadzide

    NPP’s Manifesto Is Heavy On Track Record Of Achievements – Hadzide

    A Deputy Minister of Information, Mr Pius Enam Hadzide, says the New Patriotic Party’s 2020 Manifesto comprised track record of achievements within a mandate, whilst the opposition National Democratic Congress’ Manifesto is full of promises with nothing to show on achievements.

    He explained that since both the NPP and NDC have had the opportunity to govern the nation at one point in time, it was prudent for each party to provide its track record of achievements within a mandate, instead of promises.

    Speaking at the 11th Edition of the Nation Building Updates in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Hadzide said the NPP-led government had fulfilled its electoral promises to Ghanaians and was bold and confident to display its track records, unlike the NDC that had nothing to show, but promises.

    Mr Hadzide said President Akufo-Addo was smart, compassionate and intelligent by creating new regions that would become growth poles for those areas.

    He said most of the departmental directorates in the new regions had been cited in rural settings to help propel the expansion of economies of those areas.

    The 11th Edition of the programme allowed the newly created regions namely; Oti, Ahafo, Bono East, North East, Savannah and Western North regional ministers to render accounts of their stewardship upon assumption of office.

    The event provides a platform for government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to render accounts of their stewardship, as part of the Government’s accountability efforts.

    The regional ministers provided pictorial evidence of development projects within their jurisdictions comprising construction of school blocks and roads and upgrading of existing ones.

    They also gave data on beneficiaries of government’s flagship initiatives like Planting for Food and Jobs, Free Senior High School Policy, Rearing for Food and Export, Planting for Export and Rural Development, One-Village, One-Dam, and One Constituency, One-Ambulance.

    The regional ministers were unanimous in their call for the electorate to renew the mandate of President Akufo-Addo in the December 7 Election to undertake more developmental projects.

    Meanwhile, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will, on Thursday, November 26, take his turn at the 12th Edition of the Nation Building Updates at the University of Ghana, to provide key highlights on Government’s interventions.

    The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party and former Member of Parliament of Ellembelle Constituency, Hon.

He was speaking at the end of a massive health and sensitization walk organised by the leadership of the party in the Ellembelle Constituency and the Parliamentary Candidate for the NPP, Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh doubles as the DCE of the area.

    In attendance at the Enyinasi Mega walk were the National Chairman, Western Regional Chairman, Constituency Executives, and over three thousand enthusiastic members of the community, who could not hide their joy but sing songs of praise for the DCE and the President of the Republic for bringing smiles on the faces of their children. They also lauded the massive road projects currently ongoing in the Ellembelle constituency.

    Chairman Freddie Blay told the teeming masses that, ”President Akufo-Addo has been faithful to the good people of Nzema.”

    He further stressed that apart from the goodies the entire country is enjoying from the government, like Free SHS, free water, free electricity, and free maternal care under the able leadership of his Excellency, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the people of Nzema have also witnessed massive infrastructure development across the Nzema enclave. Mention was made of the expansion of Eikwe Government hospital, which he anticipates would be the second-biggest health facility in the region next to the Afia Nkwanta Government hospital.

    The Parliamentary Candidate, who doubles as the DCE of the Ellembelle constituency, Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh equally called on the good people Nzema to consider his good works and vote massively for him to represent the Ellembelle constituency as their Member of Parliament. He spoke of some of the visible projects that he has completed since becoming the DCE of the area. Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh, popularly known as ‘Bonzoh K’ listed the construction of 5-unit classroom block at Basake, construction of 5-unit classroom block at Nvelezolo, construction at Aiyanase, Nyamebekyere-Mangoase road, construction of Esiama-Nkroful road, construction of *Aiyinase Market, construction of Fish Emergency Market at AIYINASE, construction of AZULELOANU chip compound with ancillary facilities, etc as some of the developmental projects that have been executed by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.

    The National Chairman applauded the party executives and the Parliamentary Candidate for the show of unity. He further urged them to work hard to secure all 3 seats within the Nzema enclave.

    The Western Regional Chairman used the occasion to promise the National Chairman that he and his team would work hard to ensure victory for the NPP in the Western region come December 7, 2020, and cement the status of the region as one of the strongholds of the party.

    The National Chairman was accompanied by Hon. Joseph Boahen Aidoo -CEO COCOBOD, His Excellency Dr Charles Dwamena- Deputy Ambassador to China, Dr. Dominic Eduah- Executive Director of GNPC Foundation and Hon Evonlah – Second Western Regional Vice-Chairman of NPP.

    NDC’s communications member, Stephen Atubiga, in an inteview on Kofi Tv boldly disclosed that they are more than ready and prepared to steal the corps of Jerry Rawlings should the NPP decided to burry him.

    According to Stephen Atubiga, the NDC should rather be doing the burying and not the NPP. He added that if President Akufo-Addo buried Papa Jay under his his or even in his bedroom, they would still go ahead and steal the body and rebury him.

    NDC will bury Rawlings, Akufo-Addo must stop ‘hijack’ attempts – Asiedu Nketia

    The General Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) says President Akufo-Addo should not “hijack” the burial activities of late former President Jerry John Rawlings.

    Johnson Asiedu Nketia stated that the party would not be treated as a guest when it comes to the funeral arrangement of its founder.

    “Everything about this funeral, so far, depicts an attempt by an opponent to hijack the funeral of the founding father of our political party, and we don’t think the funeral of our party founder ought to be organised somewhere, and we get invited,” he said.

    He added, “We have directed all branches of our party countrywide to organise events that will give a fitting celebration of the life of our founder. We will participate (in the national funeral) but that will not stop us from organising our own thing.”

    According to the NDC’s General Secretary, the president of the country and flagbearer of the NPP has failed to honour the late Rawlings as the founder of the opposition party in his commiseration to the bereaved family.

    “We were sorely disappointed that Akufo-Addo, even in issuing a statement of condolence, refused or failed to recognize the fact that President Rawlings was the founder of the NDC.

    “It is against all the different practices we have been engaged in, in the past, as far as the death of prominent members of the two political parties is concerned,” he added.

    His comments come after the demise of the first president of the Fourth Republic, Jerry John Rawlings on November 12, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after contracting the deadly Covid-19.

    After the demise of the founder of the party, an NDC delegation led by John Dramani Mahama visited the Rawlings’ family to share their condolences and also discuss the way forward.

    Several political parties including the NPP and the NDC have suspended all campaign activities in honour of the late President.

    President Akufo-Addo has also declared a 7-day national mourning period during which all flags will fly at half-mast in Mr Rawlings’ honour.

    He has also tasked the Chief of Staff and the Rawlings’ family to work together and complete plans for the burial of the late head of state.

  • It Is Time We Think Beyond NPP And NDC- CPP Running Mate

    It Is Time We Think Beyond NPP And NDC- CPP Running Mate

    Professor Emmanuel Yaovi Boboobi, running mate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) flagbearer, Mr Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, has urged Ghanaians to shift attention beyond the two major political parties to a third force for rapid development.

    He expressed worry about the level of mismanagement exhibited by both the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress, adding they only brought division among Ghanaians.

    Professor Boboobi said this when he met leadership and supporters of the Party at Akatsi during a day’s tour to the Volta Region.

    “It is time we look elsewhere, it is time we start thinking beyond the NDC and the NPP, It is time we reject parties built on structures that can only benefit a few, they have divided us, and in all these years of their rule, there has been no significant change in our well-being nor an improvement in the quality of our lives,” he said.

    He said the next CPP government would restore hope and dignity to all Ghanaians, and that there would be job security, food stability, oneness, among others.

    Professor Boboobi further said the CPP would prioritise agricultural activities reviving the collapsed factories built 63 years ago by Dr Kwame Nkrumah, founder of the CPP.

    He promised a multi-trillion dollar agricultural sector industry since the CPP was poised to institute a research centre for effective growth in all their key sectors of development.

    Mr Thomas Ntumy, the Volta Regional Chairman of the Party, asked the electorates to vote massively for the CPP, because things were going in the wrong direction of the country.

    “A vote for the CPP is a vote for yourself, we are also Ghanaians, Ghana is not for only a few people to enjoy,” he explained.

    Leadership of the Party during the visit, out-doored Mr Maxwell Atsah Nana, the Parliamentary candidate for Akatsi South on the ticket of the CPP.

    Mr Atsah in his message to supporters of the Party, indicated “it is time we realise that “our challenges as a nation will not be addressed by NPP nor NDC, our struggle will continue to defeat us if we don’t liberate ourselves from this oppression”.

    He urged all to promote peace during these period of campaign activities.

    Other Party executives present include, Rashid Also, the Oti Regional Chairman, Musah Michael, Volta Regional Organiser, Mr Aaron Tetteh Agbenu, Volta Regional Secretary.
