Grassroots supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have condemned the founder of Global Info Analytics, Mussa Dankwah, accusing him of sowing division within the party through what they describe as “misleading and premature” succession polls.

Leader of the group who doubles as the Central Regional Public Relations Officer of the National Lotteries Authority (NLA), Joshua Sika Nartey, speaking on behalf of the National Soldiers for John Mahama and other grassroots groups, launched a scathing attack on Mussa Dankwah, insisting his recent polls represent “a deliberate attempt to control the political narrative against the John Mahama administration.”

According to Nartey, the succession surveys released just nine months into President Mahama’s current administration risk pitching leading figures of the NDC against each other.

“Individuals such as Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Haruna Iddrisu, Julius Debrah and Cassiel Ato Forson have achieved a lot within this short period but instead of highlighting these successes, Mussa Dankwah is sowing seeds of discord through premature succession debates,” he argued.

Nartey further warned that such polls could negatively affect the personalities involved “mentally, physically, emotionally and financially,” stressing that conversations around succession were “too early and unfortunate.”

He urged a shift in national discourse towards government achievements such as the Big Push infrastructure agenda, the National Apprenticeship Programme, Edwumawura and Ghana’s single-digit inflation.

These, he said, should take precedence over “orchestrated distractions” like divisive succession debates.

“In as much as succession is inevitable for every institution our group believes the timing of this discourse is wrong and must be curtailed immediately,” he concluded.
