The
2016 Flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana
Akufo-Addo and his Running Mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia have been
described by the deputy General Secretary of the ruling NDC, Koku
Anyidoho as lesser gods that the party worship, including a political
science lecturer, Dr. Amoako Baah.
His
description comes on the heels of the political science lecturer at the
Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr. Richard
Amoako Baah said President Mahama’s press meeting was meant to divert
public attention from the voters’ register saga.
Dr.
Amoako Baah asserted that President Mahama intentionally and hurriedly
arranged the press conference to prevent the media from reporting on
matters arising from the voters’ register and the EC boss.
But
Koku Anyidoho on Okay Fm’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show jabbed the
political scientist, saying Dr. Baah cannot do simple trend analysis to
know that the beginning of every year since the era of former President
Kufuor, the various Presidents have often availed themselves to
journalists to ask them questions.
He fumed
that Ghana cannot be at standstill just because Dr. Amoako Baah and the
NPP want to drum home their fake Togolese register into the minds of
Ghanaians who are not ready to listen to the disturbance of the NPP.
He
wondered why the NPP want to force every Ghanaian to stop talking about
anything else and only talk about things which interest their lesser
gods.
“Nobody is listening to the NPP and their
drumming of the voters’ register, but they think people are listening
to them so because of that nobody should talk about anything else in
this country. As there is 6 percent excess power reserved at GRIDCo,
because of NPP’s fake claim of Togolese register, we shouldn’t talk
about the success that NDC has chalked,” he chided.
He
maintained that insofar as the opposition NPP wants to stand in one
place as lesser gods, expecting to be worshipped, Ghanaians are not
ready to worship them.
“If Akufo-Addo and
Bawumia have been turned lesser gods for the NPP and Dr. Amoako Baah,
they should worship them. I won’t worship Akufo-Addo and Bawumia and so
if Amoako Baah wants to worship them, that is his own business, but he
shouldn't compel Ghanaians to be wasting their time on useless things,”
he jabbed.
