HOW KOJO OPONG NKRUMAH JUMPED FROM A DEPUTY INFORMATION MINISTER TO NPP'S CHIEF ECONOMIC SPOKESMAN BAFFLES LOGIC.
I CAN VIVIDLY REMEMBER AKUFFO ADDO'S FIRST AND ONLY DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MEDIA AT THE JUBILEE HOUSE. AT THAT EVENT, THERE WAS A QUESTION AKUFFO ADDO ASKED MUSTAFA, OPONG NKRUMAH'S BOSS, TO ANSWER FOR HIM.
WHEN THE CAMERAS WERE PANNED OVER TO MUSTAFA, I SAW KOJO OPONG NKRUMAH TRAILING MUSTAFA IN A RATHER TIMID STATE.
MY POINT IS HOW DID SUCH A NOBODY, UNDER THE EARLY DAYS OF AKUFFO ADDO, SUDDENLY BECOME ECONOMIC SPOKESMAN IN THE NPP?
IT WAS ONE OF AKUFFO ADDO'S PLOYS.
AKUFFO ADDO INTIALLY LAY OPPONG NKRUMAH LOW, THEN ELEVATED HIM FOR A SPECIAL AKUFFO ADDO PURPOSE, TO BE THE SPOKESMAN FOR THE AKUFFO ADDO MACHINATIONS. SUCH A POST DEMANDS TOTAL LOYALTY TO AKUFFO ADDO.
SO, WHATEVER POSITION OPONG NKRUMAH FINDS HIMSELF IN AT THE MOMENT, HE DEFINITELY OWES IT TO AKUFFO ADDO. IN THE SAME VEIN, WHATEVER CAUSE THAT OPONG NKRUMAH FIGHT FOR NOW IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THAT OF AKUFFO ADDO MACHINATIONS BEHIND THE SCENES, BOTH IN THE NATIONAL POLITICS AND THE NPP POLITICS.
OPONG NKRUMAH IS AN AKUFFO LOYALIST, AND SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
I CAN REMEMBER OPONG NKRUMAH TELLING GHANAIANS ABOUT A TRANCHE OF IMF MONEY COMING IN AND ASKING MYSELF WHAT> IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF HIS JOB?
THE FUNNY THING IS, OPONG NKRUMAH NEVER HAS THE GUTS TO TELL US HOW THE MONEY WAS USED OR WHAT IT WAS USED FOR.
DOES THE NPP REALLY TAKE GHANAIANS FOR FOOLS TO ENTRUST THEM WITH THIS STABLE ECONOMY, ONLY FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND EMBARK ON THEIR SPENDING SPREE OF RECKLESS ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT?
ONE THING STOOD OUT FURTHER BEYOND THE NEW ECONOMY ITSELF, AND THAT WAS THE REPEATED REFERENCE TO "FISCAL DISCIPLINE"
THE FIRST THING THAT THE BRITISH FINANCE MINISTER REFERRED TO IN HIS BUDGET THIS PAST OCTOBER WAS " FISCAL DISCPLINE".
FIDSCAL DISCIPLINE IS ONE THING THE NPP HAVE NEVER HAD AND WILL NEVER HAVE.
AKUGFFO APPOINTEMENTS WERE FOR SALE, AND THE HIGHEST BIDDER GETS THE TOPMOST POST. OKYERE DARKO SAW TO THAT.
THE NPP ONLY CARES ABOUT POWER, NOT GHANA AND THE ORDINARY MAN'S WELFARE.
OPONG NKRUMAH NOW LIVES IN CHADOE, AN EXCLUSIVE AREA IN ACCRA, IN A HOUSE VERGING ON A MANSION. THE QUESTION IS WHERE DID OPONG NKRUMAH LIVE PRE 2017?
