Bitter political infighting and national development – Part 2

How can the NDC win election in 2016 when most constituency executives were not on speaking terms How can the NDC win election in 2016 when most constituency executives were not on speaking terms

They have criticized you, they have doubted you, they have lied on you several times, they have done all they can do to let others hate you. But one thing they can’t do is to stop you from being who you are and that is killing them slowly because I serve NDC as a party and NOT SOME GREEDY INDIVIDUALS. So, it is not what they call you, it is rather what you respond to, and that is the person I am, Finito.

For some people, political power is a Life or Death matter and such people in Ghana are the members of the United Party which the violent prone NPP represent today 2017.

However, a few of such people managed to infiltrate the NDC in 2009 and divided the party in order to destroy innocent hardworking party members, drive them away and chase monies around. Matters became worse when Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings decided to contest the then sitting President Atta Mills of blessed memory since he had abandoned the principles of the NDC completely and had wanted to do away with the NDC and the Rawlings factor and turn the NDC into the CPP.

This led to the formation of the friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR) and Get Atta Mills Elected (GAME). The bitter infighting raged on like wild fire from the NDC National Headquarters through all the Regional NDC offices and Constituencies right down to the party branches nationwide.

All the party executives had been saying that all is well within the NDC while the opposite is the case as the cadres known as the Rawlings Boys including this writer instantly became Endangered Species that must be swept away from the very party that they sacrificed extremely to form in 1992.

So, everybody except the cadres were busy chasing money while destroying one another and the cadres in order to protect themselves to the Powers that be. But did they succeed in doing away with the cadres? Answer. They did not succeed and could never succeed because the remaining surviving cadres are stronger, very intelligent and politically matured by far than all of them. What happened next.

These greedy party leaders were all overtaken by greed and the NDC had to lose the 2016 elections painfully with a difference of 1.2 million valid votes, and the tribal War Lord on war path, Nana Akufo-Addo won that election without sweat what so ever because they have been able to collate their own results correctly while the Electoral Commission IT system was hacked and they could not tell Ghanaians the true winner of the 2016 elections until Prez. Mahama conceded defeat and the Rogues then grabbed power and started killing NDC members, soldiers, and even policemen by installments with impunity.

As if that is not enough, they attacked the courts, DVLA headquarters, Tema Harbour, Ashanti Regional Security Co-ordinator and a Senior police officer at the Flagstaff House with impunity after all-it is ‘All-die-be-die’.

The only conclusion one could come to, is that the present rulers are bent on nothing but pure mis-information and dis-information of the TRUTH, especially when dealing with the foreign press who do nothing to cross check such false claims before publishing their stories. These rogues and head cutters now ruling the country with tribalism as their priority in the NPP government now controls the media in Ghana.

They have bought the media men like bags of maize and have even gone as far as the Ghanaweb.com where articles that are written against the NPP will never be published at all, but they lie bad, they cannot capture the whole world social media at all.

How can the NDC win election in 2016 when most constituency executives were not on speaking terms with their branch executives? And the Regional officers were all aware of it but did nothing to solve those problems?

How can you chase many party members away from the party that was in power and now call them back to the party office after losing the 2016 elections. You think you are smart and wise. You should fill the tank of a grader and a join wire string behind it and drive to the various homes of NDC members and pull them to the NDC office and we see. No matter what, we shall re-organize with difficulties anyway.

Is anybody listening, Keep your fingers crossed I shall return with more fire.

Aluta Continua
