Akufo-Addo Drops Northerners From "Cabinet" ...

Jinapor, Nitiwul Out!!! John Buadu In!!!

As Akufo-Addo continues to lack ideas, and continues to be copying President Atta Mills every step of the way, the NPP Flagbearer is reported to have organised a reshuffle in his "cabinet" just after President Mills made some changes to his Team.

While Northerners continue to have an active role in the Mills Administration, Akufo-Addo has thrown Northners out of his "cabinet" according to The Informer's sources.

Having dropped two Northerners, information has it that Akans have been brought on board.

Of course while President Atta Mills has made his reshuffle public, Akufo-Addo is unable to make public his "reshuffle". The Informer has picked up very credibe information that the Akyem Mafia has ordered Dominic Nitiwul and Samuel Abu Jinapor to cease parading themselves as Spokespersons for the NPP Flagbearer.

In the stead of the two Northerners, John Buadu, of Akan stock, is supposed to now be the official mouthpiece of Akufo-Addo.

Informantion gathered has it that the Akyem Mafia has concluded that Dominic Nitiwul is not articulate and does not have the gift of the garb.

According to sources, Nitiwul is uninspiring and does not have the clout and elitist look to be the Spokesperson for Akufo-Addo.

In other words, the Akyem Mafia has concluded that Nitiwul is not flamboyant and posh eneough to be the Spokesperson for an elitist person like Akufo-Addo. In the case of Samuel Jinapor, the recent revelation that he is in close contact with lots of NDC officials and feeding from the table of such officials is the legitimate reason for him being dropped.

Of course, the fact that Jinapor's elder brother, John Jinapor, works for Vice President John Mahama, is also a strong reason why the Akyem Mafia don't trust him any longer.

What really put the nail in the coffin of the Northern duo of Nitiwul and Jinapor, is the fact that they all started off their political careers belonging to the NDC and joined the NPP when the party was in power by selling their stomachs and conscience.

Jinapor was a known NDC TEIN activist on KNUST campus while Nitiwul was a known NDC member in the Bimbila Constituency before being bought during a by-election in his constituency during the first term of the NPP. "Jinapor and Nitiwul are Northners who we believe continue to owe some allegiance to the NDC hence the decision to drop them from the frontline of Akufo-Addo's campaign" a source told The Informer.

Indeed, towards the tail end of last year, it was reported that Jinapor was in the business of leaking information about Akufo-Addo to NDC officials in exchange for cash; a matter that Akufo-Addo has not forgiven the young man for. Besides, Samuel Jinapor is one of the most unintelligent liars within the NPP fold and it is believed that having lost a lot of credibility because of the unintelligent lies he keeps telling, it does not make sense to keep him as a righthand man of Akufo-Addo.

Who says the Danquah/Busia political tradition has ever respected Northerners? When it is convenient for that political tradition, they are nice to Northerners but deep inside the heart fo the rigtht-wing, inward-looking, property-stealing, and elitist Danquah/Busia (now turned NPP), they have no respect for Northerners.

It was never in doubt that the likes of Dominic Nitiwul and Samuel "Serial liar" Abu Jinapor, were beign used as "hunting dogs" by Akufo-Addo and the Akyem Mafia.
