Minority Leader Insults Gas

Says They Are Low Profiled, Confirms NPP’s Derision

For Northerners As He Views Aliu As Stranger

News Desk Report

The loud-mouth Minority Leader in Ghana’s parliament and NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Suame, in the Ashanti region, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, has slurred fellow Gas in the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP); referring to them us people of low caliber.

In a typical tribal style, characteristic of him, the Minority leader, who spoke to Pravda Radio in Accra last Friday, 9th December 201, finally let the cat out of the bag, confirming the Akan insatiable crave for supremacy and hegemony in the NPP.

Having gain notoriety for gross contempt for authorities, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, in response to a question asked by the host of the programme without mincing words, said there is no body among the Gas in the NPP who people will accept as a flagbearer.

According to him, there is no high profile Ga yet, who can ascend to the position of flagbearer in the NPP, even though Professor Mike Oquaye have come close, but is disqualified obviously, as a result of his age. Indicating how Northerners are regarded in the NPP, the Minority Leader with specific reference to former Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama, said he failed in his ambition to become flagbearer because, he was a complete outsider who was unknown within the circles of the party.

Mr. Mensah-Bonsu said, even though Alhaji Aliu Mahama served as Vice President for eight (8) years, he hit the rock in his own effort to become the flagbearer of the NPP, since his coming into the party was a very unpleasant spectacle to many a party faithful.

Still on Northerners, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu pointed out, that, for a Northerner to be considered as a flagbearer of the NPP, the candidate must prove himself or herself as a Vice President, else they stand no chance. The above statement and many other tribal pronouncement from the Minority Leader, were what have angered the Ga community, with many of them publicly calling into radio programmes since Monday to register their disappointment and displeasure.

Some have also publicly threatened to show the NPP a bitter lesson, come December 2012; since they feel insulted by the comments of the Minority Leader. However, the disgraced Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu in an attempt to serve himself from further attack and embarrassment, became a subject of public ridicule as he fumbles on radio in defense of his unrefined pronouncements about Gas as well as Northerners Perhaps, the NPP National Chairman, Mr. Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey, one of the disciples of the Akufo-Addo’s “all die be die” mantra, Professor Mike Ocquaye aka Papa Ajasco, Oboshie Sai-Coffie, her Father, Professor Sai and many Gas in the NPP, will learn a great lesson from this, so they do not end up their lives miserably with Akufo-Addo’s warmongering “all die be die” mantra
