Paul Afoko thought being chairman of NPP was as business as usual he was so powerful & can even control the Presidential candidate.He failed to respect his own members including his own ppl from the North.

The country has been mismanaged for so long that the only way to rest affairs and put things in the right direction is unfortunately through war . Our gold and all natural resources are of no benefit to the people despite over 30 billion dollars every year of these exports . Our people live in poverty and have the standard of a nation in the 17th century rather than enjoying the standards and benefits of the 21st century . I need not quote Socrates or Aristotle, Confucius or Roosevelt but today i will mention Stalin .Stalin said the core of all governance or politics is the personnel politics , today we see a govt packed with alajih Muslims , northerners and ayigbe Ewes whose only agenda is to destroy the economy , discriminate against the majority Akans and ensure exploitation , slavery and poverty so in the ignorance the people retain their system of governance. Yes there only 2 ways to determine the legitimacy of any government of system of governance and that is one through the ballot box or by war . America and all the nations of the west were not born or did not gain their freedom and right to justice through the ballot box but by war so its time to prepare our great nation the Akans . We do not need 99% approval but less than 1% of those who are aware to begin this effort and thanks be to God in my travels around i see our people are ready. We rejected despite all the trickery colonial rule now is the time to boot out this pepeni/ayigbe pestilence and no more weep by the rivers of Ewe/Northern?Muslim Babylon. The divine duty of every nation set by God is to seek freedom from any oppressor or unjust system and we shall never surrender to these criminals , its our turn to say let their blood flow. Now they rush to sell off for a pittance the ECG and any thing else that will burden us with debt or deny us the capability of self reliance through managing our own wealth claiming these are the rules , the bullshit will never end. The personnel politics is important even in economics as the only way to secure loyalty and good intent is if the majority themselves own their own natural resources . These NDC idiots and their sleepers in the NPP have a perverse way of interpreting good economic principles and turning them into yokes so heavy the people are broken into poverty . Imagine Putin of Russia privatizing the oil and gold of his country and it being owned by non Russians , foreigners from Europe China or America . Imagine Britain , Norway or USA allowing their industry , natural resources or oil be owned by non citizens ? We are surprised we have fake exploiting investors who never bring their profits back but rather buttress their economies in their own countries with our money and wealth . Yes its time to end all these , find true thinkers and patriots who will truly love our people and put them first . Yes only war will remove this oligarchy who think the way forward is to keep our people in poverty. We challenge all sound minded people to review and reflect upon all political decisions of the last few decades and observe how they find ways of perversely undermining otherwise correct macroeconomic principles and rules into nightmares of worry and trouble for future generations. They sell our golden goose to foreigners and applaud each other in their stupidity of how they were able to sell out the interests of the ignorant people. Yes war will make them know the price of betrayal and selling out the nation's interest . Not a single decision has any common sense or is motivated by the true desire to serve the interests of the people . Today we see small boys driving around in expensive cars because they are pepeni /ayigbe hegemony tribalism saturated . Time to end all of this nonsense and this is the year , forget elections and prepare for war as they will only attempt again to rig the vote and will never be encouraged to go away peacefully . When oppression , discrimination ,stealing and corruption becomes the norm rebellion and war become the duty.

Afoko's northern brothers warned him that NPP could only use him for northern votes but beyond that he was nobody. Afoko thought everyone in NPP was equal. Now he just been struck with rudest shocking reality that in NPP Southerners are more equal than Northerners. He should have picked the clues from the late Alieu Mahama.

Bawumia thinks he is not Alieu or Afoko. He is yet to realise that once he can be used to win votes they will praise him to the highest heavens. After winning that Bawumia will realise that he is not as equal to the Ashantis/Akyems. Bawumia may be intellectually to superior but in their stupid zika-sized brains they think they are superior.

Come to think of it, what chance does Bawumia have when it comes to a contest between him and an Ashanti like alan? NIL chance because tribalism will kick in and he will find himself with only the scanty votes of the north, just as Alieu finally found out.

Only a stupid northerner or Ewe will die for NPP.

Hey! Nana and Co. Watch this Kyei Mensah of Suame, Ashanti very well. He is very treacherous. We don't understand what he intends in achieving by raising all these issues at this time if not to stir or muddy the waters further by all the gibberish nonsense he is spewing at this time. This guy does not mean well for NPP, and for that matter Nana's train at this time, period!

This is the most self-defeating statement I've heard anybody make. Afoko is simply not a leadership material, let alone chairing a powerful organisation like NPP. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's a Northerner. There're several examples of great leaders from the North and for that matter all the corners of our nation and we love them. Only small minds look at things from tribal and political angles. Unfortunately there're too many of such people in Ghana. It's one of the banes of our underdevelopment.

Then Bawumia would face a herculean task getting into the fold of the NPP because of what the minority leader has said. Aside the NPP constitution, there are other unorthodox ways that a Chairman has to learn. It was the abhorrence of such disregard for the rules in the party that garnered the votes of Afoko. If the silent majority in the party wanted a cleaner way of doing things in line with the party constitution, why did the majority leader and others of his disposition gang up against the choice of the majority?

The truth of the matter is that these individuals belonged to the group Nana Addo had signalled he could not, and would not work with! Most of us are aware of the shabby treatment meted out to Paul Afoko, in particular, and how Nana's cabal, almost succeeded in toppling his candidacy for the Chairmanship slot! This is the factual position; and I submit that the Minority Leader is being disengenous, as has been his character, throughout his political career!
When it mattered most, and the party was in desperate need of a honest brokers to get the factions to stand down, and enter into some form of dialogue, guess who was lambasting Afoko and Agyeong; none other than this same Kyei Mensah Bonsu, who was out granting highly negative interviews to Nhyira FM, and supporting the ouster of the two party officers.
So what is this 'political chameleon' saying now? He should give us a break!

Who cares? Are you voting to elect a competent group of people or you vote for personalities? In any case if NDC is good why would you vote them out? You are not teaching anybody a lesson but just fooling yourself.

Ken Agyepong is always in the forefront of speaking on issues affecting the party. But you, as Minority Leader, only speak long after issues have elapsed. Watch your steps! Live up to your responsibilities, or step aside for a more dependable representative of the people to take over.
Telling us about Afoko now is dead news. You must consider it as part of your failures if you failed to impress upon Afoko the need for those regular meetings - after all he was new to the position, but you had been there for so long and knew that those small meetings formed part of the forward progress of the group.

The fact that Afoko wasn't in the mainstream of the Party could have been better capitalized upon to draw more folks sitting on the fence to join the NPP.

Instead, because the Akyem Mafia, especially, considered him less of their kind, their cohort, they decided to work against him and the Minority leader, Kyei Mensah did nothing to help him do his work without bias.

For Akufo-Addo and his minions, it is either you are with them or against them. There is no middle-of-the-road interactions with them. Once that Mafia established that Afoko had been closer to Alan, it began to work against him and eventually bring him down.

This is the basis for all the chaos in the NPP now. So, fess up, Kyei Mensah!

What didn't happen to Aliu Mahama and yet some of you are still so naive. If not Rawlings and the NDC were northerners respected? Even today are you respected? Bawumia is fooling himself to go waste like Aliu Mahama.
May the Good Lord continue to bless those northerners who, re thinking better.

Afoko faced problems on assumption of the NPP chairmanship because the Akufo-Addo faction within the NPP realized that it could not control him like a puppet, the way the faction controls Aplanke Bawumia. hence the Akufo-Addo camp started manufacturing lies and deceptions to undermine Afoko and his Agyepong so that these two could be ousted and replaced with puppets of Akufo-Addo. The Minority Leader is a serial liar doing Akufo-Addo's bidding while their NPP is self-destructing.

Afoko was bound to face problems as Chairman – Minority Leader
