Gabby's Insults: Minority MPs angry with Akufo-Addo

There are some leading members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) who believe that one of Nana Akufo-Addo's problems has been the arrogant attitude of his close relations toward other senior members of the party.

According to these leading members ,utterances by Nana Addo's nephew ,Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, in the aftermath of the 2008 elections to the effect that former President John Agyekum 'Kofi Diawuo' Kufuor did not help Nana Addo in regard to the 2008 elections did not go down well with former President Kufuor.

Now, this same Gabby has incurred the wrath of the Minority Members of Parliament (MPs) over claims that they are ineffective.

That outburst annoyed Minority MP’s like Mr. Dan Botwe and Mr. Dominic Nitiwul, forcing them to reveal how the NPP has been inciting civil society organisations to demonstrate against government, and also to embark on strike actions.

According this paper’s sources within the minority caucus, they (minority MPs) are expected to hold a series of crunch meetings to express their utmost displeasure with the way and manner Nana Akufo-Addo has been silent over the unwarranted invectives his nephew hurled at them, implying that they are lazy and ineffective .

One of the minority MPs in an exclusive telephone conversation with The Informer said “many of us –MPs- have since 2008 endured Gabby’s disrespect with his vulgar utterances. Now, enough is enough, and like Nitiwul said in his response on Oman FM, such utterances will surely cause the defeat of Nana Addo in 2016”.

According to the NPP MP, another example of Gabby’s behaviour that affected the electoral fortunes of the NPP in 2008 was his attack on the late President John Evans Atta Mills.

“To be honest, his insults on the late Mills, and the stony silence of Nana Addo annoyed floating voters to vote massively against the NPP in the 2008 general election,” this NPP MP revealed.

Another MP, equally unhappy with the Flagbearer, wonders; “is Nana Addo‘s silence a subtle indication that he agreed with Gabby’s insults?”

According to him, Nana Addo better publicly come out to condemn his nephew or incur their wrath also.
