The Ghanaian Democrat

In a screaming headline: "Reform leaders are opportunists", the Democrat says leading members of the Reform Movement are opportunists with a hidden political agenda. According to the paper, this is the verdict of Alhaji Muhammad Alidu, a former cadre of the revolution in a press statement issued in Accra at the weekend. The paper reports that in the view of the ex-cadre, the leaders of the Reform Movement should know that adopting a confrontational posture in solving political party problems is equally undemocratic. "If Goosie Tanoh and co. truly stands for reforms in the NDC of which they claim to be founding members, what prevents them from seeking nomination for election into the leadership positions in the party in order to press home their demands for reforms?", the ex-cadre is reported as saying. He is said to have made this observation in a press statement issued in Accra recently. According to him, Goosie Tanoh went out of his way and accused the leadership of the NDC of series of allegations to satisfy his whims and caprices in an attempt to win public sympathy for his hidden agenda.
