Felix Kwakye: NPP wise up and see through Gabby’s tricks

Deputy Information Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has described the Executive Director of the Danquah Institute, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, as a “master of manipulation”.

According to him, with Otchere-Darko’s infamous expertise, it is not surprising that he would make disparaging remarks about the nine Justices who sat on the election petition between leaders of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Electoral Commission, which was intended to revoke the legitimacy of President John Dramani Mahama.

Gabby Otchere-Darko is reportedly quoted in the media to have accused the judges of delivering a ‘corrupt’ verdict.

He is also alleged to have dared them to cite him for contempt of court on his facebook wall.

Speaking in an interview with Radio Gold, Felix Kwakye Ofosu explained that the comments by Gabby are not intended for the Judges but rather to “cause sympathy for Nana Akufo-Addo in order that he can once again contest the flagbearer position of the NPP in 2016 or in the alternative, he can back Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to contest the 2016 flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party.”

He expressed no surprise over such remarks because, to him, Gabby’s trademark is to manipulate the minds of people in order to project Nana Addo and his running mate, Dr. Bawumia, for the 2016 presidential race.

“Nobody can underestimate the expertise that Gabby Otchere-Darko has…He is a master at manipulating people’s minds into believing in things that really do not exist.” he stated, and urged members and supporters of the New Patriotic Party “who legitimately may want to make a claim to the flagbearership position to wise up and see through the tricks being played by Gabby Otchere-Darko. Otherwise, they will stand to be the losers.”
