Story : Desmond Darko (The Catalyst)

Despite his promise to make education free up to senior high school (SHS) level, New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo Addo, has been exposed as having absolutely no idea about the intended enterprise he so zealously trumpeted in the 2008 electioneering campaign.

The Catalyst can state authoritatively that Nana Akufo-Addo's posture, in the last elections that portrayed him as having his hands firmly on the steering wheel as he promised everywhere he went on the campaign trail to make education free in the country up to SHS level, was a sham meant to hoodwink the Ghanaian electorate to vote him as president.

Impeccable information in the possession of The Catalyst indicates the NPP flagbearer is now going round and begging some members of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) to be helped with the basic idea of how to possibly make education free in Ghana if he becomes president.
The defeated 2008 NPP flagbearer is currently paying nicodemus visits to some heads of SHSs and begging them to furnish him with an idea as to how to make education free in the country since his intention is to rehash his free education mantra as a major campaign promise in the 2012 election.
With support from Prof Dominic Fobih and Mr Yaw Osafo Mafo, former Ministers of Education in the Kufuor regime, the NPP flagbearer has been holding secret meetings with some selected headmasters and begging them to fashion out a way for him to follow in the event that he becomes president of Ghana after the 2012 elections.
During these secret meetings, one of which was held with the headmaster of a leading senior high school in Accra and an executive member of CHASS (name withheld), Nana Akufo-Addo put his card clearly on the table. He is asking the headmasters to present to him proposals on how to make education free in SHSs in the country whiles promising them juicy financial and political rewards if he becomes president after the elections in 2012. His plea is simple. He is counting on the headmasters to do all in their power to help him and the NPP win the next elections.
Nana Akufo-Addo only recently in a public pronouncement in the Eastern region, whiles making his now infamous “all die be die” statement, told NPP members that considering the enormous powers and goodies at the disposal of a president of Ghana, he would generously and adequately reward those of them who would work hard in helping him make reality his childhood dream of becoming president.
The secret meetings being held by Nana Akufo-Addo and his sidekicks with heads of SHSs in the country has palpably exposed him as having made an empty promise to the Ghanaian electorate in the last elections.

The Catalyst's information has it that the NPP flagbearer at one of those meetings confessed he was not on top of the issue of free education in the country as at the last elections. According to him, he needed to make an electoral promise with the hope that once he became president, he would be in a better position to solicit ideas from persons like the heads of SHSs, who he has been secretly seeing currently.
