Are NDC MPs tin gods or above the law?

By Fadi Dabbousi

At approximately 12 noon on June 12, 2016, the NDC member of Parliament for Builsa North, James Agalga, barged into the DCE's residence and humiliated the tchichinga supplier, who was contracted by the latter, Bonaventure Adangabe, to make kebabs for the President, John Mahama, and his entourage as they made their way through the region on the sham and diabolical "accounting to the people tour".

The lady was beaten up so badly and kicked out of the premises of the DCE because the wicked NDC MP suspected her of leaking information about the meeting that took place between Paul Afoko, his brother David Afoko (current NPP chairman for Builsa North), Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Ibrahim Mahama et al, recently, which, ultimately, reached me.

That was when four "Ghana Must Go" bags full of GHs50 bundles were hauled into the meeting venue at Gariba Lodge in Tamale where two were shared to NDC criminal elements to terrorise and create confusion between the NPP people of the Northern and Upper East Regions. And of course, Paul Afoko received two bags for himself as a thank you for his betrayal.

It would be recalled that I wrote an exposé on the sinister motives of the disgraced former Chairman of the NPP, Paul Afoko, NPP Constituency Chairman, David Afoko (Paul's brother), the NDC MP, James Agalga, and other charlatans who were holed up in that meeting to plot an anti-NPP campaign in the North. But the poor NDC tchichinga seller was totally innocent of these charges, so why was she threatened with death by the NDC MP? So can't anyone be free in this country and not suffer the terror of the NDC? Why is the judiciary so silent about the terrorism of John Mahama and his cronies? How can a self-praising so-called compassionate president encourage such dastardly acts of death threats, terrorism, imbecility and wickedness?

I have had my fair share of such terroristic effusions sputtered my way by disrespectful cretins in the NDC, fuelled by an equally haughty wildebeest, Paul Afoko. He decided to brave the odds, but fell to his political doom. Then like the proverbial shepherd, who falsely cried wolf, did not get a helper when the real one attacked. So who is to blame for his predicament? Does he not know that traitors, betrayers, and unpatriotic people often take center-stage in dumpsters where ridicule becomes their reward? He should never have allowed himself to be the medium of implementation of NDC's failed plots against the NPP. This should serve a lesson to anyone who has allegiance to GOD and Country!

I wish he would stop the shenanigans and behave himself as a normal human being, who has gone through the trials and tribulations of life and politics. Such characteristics can make him an astute gentleman as he creates a firm ground for propulsion tomorrow into a better realm. Alas, his dented pride and dignity are driving that single element of evil inherent in human beings to shed the cloaks of civility and adorn the tattered rags of hell where he will roast, undoubtedly.

And the diabolical David Afoko is a mole for the NDC, let there be no doubt about that, otherwise why would he openly declare war on the NPP and its Parliamentary Candidate for his constituency, Builsa North, brazenly doing the bidding for James Agalga, the incumbent MP, who double as the PC for the upcoming November 7 elections?

This is a wakeup chime to all NPP faithfuls to open their eyes. If David Afoko is found to be in clear contempt of the rules of engagement as prescribed by the National and NPP constitutions, the NPP supporters must rise up and draw the Party's attention to this existing anomaly such that he will be distanced.
We have had enough of one disastrous family's abhorrence to peace and humility. Maybe it is time for David to join his brother Paul Afoko in the archives of disgrace and embarrassment."

Folks, Paul Afoko was the epic embarrassment that we suffered! His brother, Gregory Afoko is a suspected murderer standing trial for the gruesome killing of the Upper East Regional NPP Chairman, Mr Adams Mahama. Now David Afoko, their brother, who happens to be the NPP Chairman for Builsa North, has declared war against his party by openly assisting the fortunes of the NDC incumbent, James Agalga. This is the unparalleled vanity that this trio have exhibited in Ghanaian politics!
