Adakabre Predicts Akufo-Addo’s Doom!

And Says His “Team Is Too Large & Players, Too Old”

Titus Glover Walking Streets Of Tema Frustrated & Dejected

News Desk Report

A host of Adom FM’s Morning Show ‘Adwaso Nsem’, Mr. Adakabre Frimpong-Manso, has expressed doubts of ability of Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s team of tired old-men to deliver. The bald, grey and cracking-knee-bone team-mates put forth by the NPP flagbearer, may not be able to strike: Infact, without bifocal-lenses they might not find the ball; Adakabre feared. The team, according to Adakabre was also too large.

Obviously unhappy at the way Akufo-Addo has used and dumped the likes of Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, Domonic Ntiwul, and some other youthful faces that Akufo-Addo used during his campaign to lead the NPP, Adakabare did not mince words in condemning Akufo-Addo’s decision.

According the Morning Show Host, Nana Akufo-Addo has been extremely ungrateful to the young men who supported his bid to lead the NPP. In the estimation of Adakabre, Akufo-Addo is on the path to another defeat because he is repeating the mistakes of 2008. “In 2008, Akufo-Addo surrounded himself with a large army of old people; this time around, he has again surrounded himself with a large army of old people” an angry sounding Adakabre said.

Mentioning them by name, Adakabre wondered what message the likes of, Ellembele Mugabe (Freddie Blay), Mocta Bamba, Lord Commey, Boakye Agyarko, have for the people of Ghana.

Supported by co-host Afia Pokua, Adakabre refused to accept any reason why hardworking young men like Titus Glover, Dominic Ntiwul and Takoradi MP, Koby Otchere-Darko should be left out of the Campaign Team.

“After all the hard work, why has Titus Glover been left out of the team? He is walking the streets of Tema; frustrated and dejected” was how Adakabre released his angst at the treatment that has been meted out to Titus Glover. Indeed, listening to Adakabre, it would be easy to think that Titus Glover has joined the ranks of the unfortunate people, who, as a result of one form of mental problem or the other, walks the streets frustrated and dejected. No amount of copious forms of explanations from the likes of P.C Appiah Ofori and Arthur “single one” Kennedy, would convince Adakabre to move away from the position that Akufo-Addo has been wicked and unfair to the youth in the NPP as well as the fact that Akufo-Addo’s 2008-like large and aged campaign team will lead him to another electoral defeat.

Without saying so, Adakabre knows it for a fact that His Excellency President Atta Mills’ decision in 2008 to operate with Mahama Ayariga, Spokesperson, Koku Anyidoho, Director of Communications, and Nii Lantey Vanderpuje, Director of Operations, was a very smart move of not only having a lean campaign team, but also allowing the youth to lead the crusade against the NPP. Even though Adakabre has never openly appreciated the work that Ayariga, Koku and Nii Lantey did to oust his NPP from power, it is ipso facto that in his quiet moments, Adakabre Frimpong-Manso appreciates the space that President Atta Mills gave to the youth to play a major role in his election. The Editors Note Although we sympathize with the aforementioned personalities, particularly, Nii Kwaitei Titus Glover since the decision by Akufo-Addo to dump him is the second of a young politician who is looking forward to nurse his ambition after he suffered similar fate from the braggart Kennedy Agyepong, it serves him right. The Informer on countless occasions warned about his association with Akufo-Addo and his Akyem mafia but he never listened, and now that he has been rendered useless it will serve him right. We were of the view that after his defeat at the primaries, he would have learnt some great lesson and quietly re-channeled his energy into some other viable ventures so he can hold body and soul together, but as disobedient as he was, he went on to do the bidding of a personality who even does not appreciate his efforts, hence his frustration today.
