Intelligence Desk Report

There are indications that all is not well with the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) like they have always made Ghanaians to believe. In fact, the cracks in the NPP is said to have deepened, following the arrogant posture of the party’s flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo as regards the way and manner he is going about the campaign towards the December 07 polls.

Insider information picked up by The Informer has it that, former President John Agyekum Kufuor and his group, predominantly made up of Ashantis, are very livid and have vow to teach Akufo-Addo a bitter lesson in this year’s election, since he, (Akufo Addo) has decided not to live up to agreements reached after all the rumpus that characterized the choice of Mahamudu Bawumia, as the Vice Presidential Candidate.

Pleading anonymity, this paper’s source hinted that, the Kufuor faction feels abandoned and that Akufo-Addo has refused to consult them before taking major decisions in the running of his campaign to the extent that even when they call him, he refuses to come; and so, therefore, sworn to do everything humanly possible to ensure that Akufo-Addo never achieve his dream of becoming president of this Republic.

According to the source, former President Kufuor and his group have expressed worry about the poor manner Akufo-Addo continues to run his campaign; and they have since predicted his defeat in the upcoming elections.

“Former President Kufuor and his group are very angry; and with their influence in the party, which makes and unmakes, this can pose a great danger to the electoral fortunes of the party in this year’s crucial December, should Nana Addo refuses to consult and involve them in his campaign”, the source added However, credible information stumbled upon, has it that, Akufo-Addo has accused Kufuor and his faction for leaking sensitive information about him to the media as part of their AGENDA 2016; and has resolved not to consult them since they have demonstrated their hatred for him.

Reports also have it that, Akufo-Addo has been pointing accusing fingers at one of their MP from the Eastern Region (name withheld), who publicly came to oppose his choice of Bawumia, as the brain behind all the negative publications about him; and sworn to deal with him. More Anon.
