Gabby Turns Election Pollster

…after failing to bribe Ben Ephson to

cook up polls to favour Akufo-Addo

…First polls out on last Friday

…but he credits fake polls to Ephson to

dent his image for refusing to accept his bribe

Gabby

Otchere Darko, the nephew of the New patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer and the

Danquah Institute (DI) driver whom out of embarrassment after subjecting a

shy-looking Minister of State into an insulting spree told the Ghanaian public

that he was no longer going to participate in politics, only lied flatly.

As the elections are around the corner

and severe defeat staring at his party once again, he has bounced back with his

diabolical activities to play down the ruling NDC party and to project his

tainted flagbearer of the NPP. Believe it or not, the DI Boss is now an

election Pollster.



Remember barely a year back, Ghana’s renowned

pollster, Ben Ephson Jnr., confessed to wikileaks that the evil-minded Nephew

of Akufo-Addo had attempted to bribe him with money to cook up polls to favour

the NPP lost presidential candidate in the 2008 general elections.

Our intelligence have now pick up

laughable reports from credible sources around the man called Gabby Otchere

Darko, that he has finally turn himself to an election pollster with other

seven (7) NPP communication team members to do the job Ben Ephson turndown in 2008

to protect his hard earned reputation.



Among of his members, according to the

report, who are doing all it takes to promote their flagbearer who is reported

to have incurred the wrath of former president Kufuor, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten,

his former contender and other top NPP gurus include Nana Akomea, Sammy Awuku,

John Abu Jinapor, Anthony Karbo, the low thinking propagandists of the NPP.

“It is one of the key goals set aside by

Gabby and his cohorts to cause confusion in the minds of the Ghanaian

electorate that Akufo-Addo, despite the allegations of drugs consumer and other

shameful things that are over the years being albatross around the neck of the

flagbearer; he still has the chance of securing more votes and becoming the

President of Ghana.



“In a personal chat with Gabby, he said

he is bent on doing anything to project his Uncle to break through the oars of

the numerous accusations against the persona of the NPP flagbearer and his

unappealing nature to taste political power before he retires his politics of

desperado. He also lamented the manner in which Ben Ephson disgraced him when

he attempted to bribe him during the 2008 presidential elections to turn the

polls in favour of Akufo-Addo”, the Nephew to NPP flagbearer close associate

told the Crystal Clear Lens exclusively.



On last Friday, 21 June 23, 2012 Gabby

and his team decided to test the public with their cooked up polls and tagged

it Ben Ephson’s name which had President

John Evans Atta Mills trailing flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),

Nana Akufo-Addo, by more than 5% of respondents sampled.

His New Statesman newspaper which is

being sponsored by his Uncle published a palpable falsehood that the ruling

party, NDC commissioned Mr. Ephson to conduct an “independent” opinion poll in

April on the chances of President Mills ahead of the 2012 election which have

met a public outcry.

According to the publication, Ben

Ephson’s poll, killed the morale of the top functionaries of the NDC as the

results made for grim reading. The newspaper claimed results of Ben Ephson’s

poll indicated that Nana Addo obtained 50.05%., whiles President Mills received

44.40%.



"The regional breakdown of Ben

Ephson’s polls is as follows: Ashanti-79.8% for Nana Akufo-Addo, 19.1% for

Mills; Brong Ahafo - 55 .7% for Nana, 40.4% for Mills; Central Region – Nana

Addo, 59.8, with 39.4 for Mills; Eastern - 68.9% for Nana Addo, 31.4% for

Mills; Greater Accra -48.2% for Nana Addo, 46.9% for Mills; Northern - 51.3%

for Nana Addo, 44.5% for Mills; Upper East - 39.8% for Nana Addo, 60.1% for

Mills; Upper West - 40.4% for Nana Addo, 52.1% for Mills; Volta - 18.9% for

Nana Addo, 74.9% for Mills; Western - 52.8% for Nana Addo, 41.5% for

Mills," the newspaper reported.



But Mr. Ephson, who is also the

Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper, in a sharp reaction to the

fallacy to protect his integrity told the NPP and brainmasters of the fake

polls that the act was disgraceful and they were only tickling themselves to

laugh off the severe defeat staring at their face ahead of the December

elections.



According to him, he always makes public

the findings of every survey he conducts, and thus described the report as

baseless and unmeritorious. He urged the NPP to continue tickling themselves as

they did prior to the 2008 general elections.



"It is never true that I’ve

conducted any such polls...They (NPP) should go ahead and lie to

themselves...These are some of the things they did to Akufo-Addo in 2008 making

him believe the election was a done deal...in the long run...the party was

defeated...listen, if your mum is dead and you lie about it that she is fast

asleep, after three days the stench from the decomposed body will show that you

lied," Ben Ephson proverbially said.
