Useless Kofi Adams must shut up now - Yamoah Ponkoh

Outspoken National Democratic Congress (NDC) member, Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh has casts doubts about the contributions of Kofi Adams to the fortunes of the party in the wake of the release of a 455-page document on finding of causes of the party’s defeat.

He wants the party’s organizer and 2016 campaign coordinator to as a matter of fact shut up and allow those who have meaningful contributions to the party to rather do the talking.

According to him, the appointment of Mr Kofi Adams was the doom of the party as he failed to live up to expectation yet does not want to be criticized for his ineptitude that resulted in the disgraceful defeat of the party.

“I have not seen a campaign team that is so weak like the 2016 campaign team headed by Kofi Adams. His performance was abysmal and he lacked ideas and that’s why he performed very badly.

“I can state categorically that I’m more useful than Kofi Adams…I would have performed better than him if I was placed in the same position as him. Looking closely at myself, I can say that Kofi Adams is no match,” he said on Adom Fm on Tuesday.

“I laughed it off when I heard Kofi Adams saying he should be blamed for our defeat, he should stop irritating our ears; why should he accept the blame, why did he accept to be the National Campaign Coordinator when he knew that he was going to fail us? I mean why, it is an unforgivable sin. Andy Okrah and Kofi Adams need to be hanged for our defeat. They should have humbly rejected the offers when they were appointed. They have no excuse to give.

“This defeat is a serious blow to us, we are now going to feel the impact of our loss, our supporters are being vilified, killed, beaten everyday by New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters, watch the space, the harassment will be worst after the President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is sworn in office,” he lamented at the time.
