Let me remind all the NPP members the argument Nana Akufo-Addo made at the party’s Congress in Sunyani in 1998 in his opposition to giving candidate John Agyekum Kufuor the second chance after losing to Rawlings in 1996. Here was Nana Akufo: “I call on members of the party [NPP] to embrace change in leadership of the party. Such changes are far from harming the fortunes of the party. Change improves the chances of political parties as a new face eventually means new ideas, new methods and new strategies…any candidate elected as the NPP's flag-bearer has already secured 30% of the total valid votes. Failure to garner the remaining 20% plus 1 means the candidate has failed, and therefore must be changed” (ref: Ghana Daily Graphic, October 8, 1998). If John Kufuor back then did not deserve to be nominated for the second consecutive time, why is it okay now for Nana Akufo-Addo to seek the party’s nomination the third consecutive time, having led NPP to two painful electoral defeats in 2008 and 2012? Well, it seems like Nana Akufo-Addo is getting ready to take NPP to the electoral slaughterhouse in 2016 all over again. Let the self-denials ignore the warnings

TEL: 0545758633
TO: H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA
H.E. FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA & FOUNDER OF NDC FLT. LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS
FORMER FIRST LADY OF GHANA NANA KONADU AGYEMAN-RAWLINGS
INFO TO:
H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BARACK OBAMA
DATE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2014
SUBJECT: TO RESPECTFULLY AND HUMBLY REFER TO THE ABOVE RELATED DICEY SUBJECT-MATTER AND IN VIEW OF HISTORY ITSELF, DEMOCRACY, TRANSPARENCY, INFORMATION SHARING, INCLUSIVENESS, UNITY IN DIVERSITY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE THAT IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE TO REFER TO THE ABOVE RELATED PUBLICATION ON THE GHANAWEB.COM AS FOLLOWS:
"MAHAMA DENIES SUPPORTING FONKAR RETURNEES TO NDC" FOR THE KIND INFORMATION AND ATTENTION OF HIS EXCELLENCIES AND FORMER FIRST LADY NANA KONADU AGYEMAN-RAWLINGS.
THIS IS IN VIEW OF THE GOOD SPIRIT CHALLENGE I THREW TO H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA AND FOUNDER OF NDC FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS AND FORMER FIRST LADY OF GHANA NANA KONADU AGYEMAN-RAWLINGS TO FULLY RETURN TO THE NDC THAT THEY TOILED AND WORKED HARD FOR AND FORMED AND NURTURED TO NDC PRESENT HEIGHTS AND STATUS.
THAT HISTORY IS THE PATH WAY THAT MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE THE VISION CHARTED HENCE THE FORMATION OF THE NDC WHICH I WAS WITNESSED TO WHEN WORKING THEN AT THE CASTLE-OSU AND ALSO PRESENT AT NDC OFFICIAL LAUNCHING AT THE CAPE COAST PARK WHEN H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA & FOUNDER FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS ACCEPTED THE CLARION CALL OF THE PEOPLE TO LEAD THE NDC AS ITS FLAG BEARER AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO CONTEST THE NATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS OF 1992 AND CONTESTED THE ELECTIONS AGAINST NPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PROFESSOR ALBERT ADU BOAHEN AND OTHERS, THERETO.
THAT H.E. WON THE 1992 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS WITH LANDSLIDE VICTORY, THERETO.
THAT THE SAME WAS REPEATED IN 1996 NATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS NOW AGAINST THEN NPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR AND OTHERS AND STILL WON THE 1996 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AGAIN FOR THE SECOND AND FINAL TERM WITH LANDSLIDE VICTORY, THERETO.
THAT AS SOON AS THE ELECTIONS WERE OVER THAT I HAD BEEN ASSIGNED THE NEW SCHEDULE AS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-IN CHARGE OF THE NEWLY CREATED SECRETARIAT OF MINISTERS OF STATE AND WORKED WITH THE MINISTERS OF STATE JUST TO NAME A FEW AS FOLLOWS:
(i) THE LATE HON. PROFESSOR KOFI AWOONOR
(ii)HON. ALHAJI AMIDU SULEIMANA
(iii) HON. DAVID BOATENG
(iv) THE LATE HON. NII BOYE ADJEI SIKA , PRESIDENTIAL STAFFER
(v) HON. FOSU AND OTHERS.
THAT AT THE SAME TIME THAT AFTER SERVING ON CASTLE IN-HOUSE COMMITTEE AS SECRETARY AND CHAIRED BY THE LATE HON. NATHAN QUAO, SPECIAL PRESIDENTIAL STAFFER & SPECIAL ADVISER TO THE PRESIDENT WITH THE REST OF MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, THE LATE CHIEF OF STAFF LT.COL. BARYEH WHO ALSO I HAPPENED TO REPRESENT AT THE HIGH COURT, SEKONDI IN 1997 AND THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF CASTLE PUBLIC INFORMATION AFFAIRS VALERIE SACKEY THAT THE LATE HON. NATHAN QUAO REQUESTED FOR ME TO HELP HIM IN ADDITION TO MY SCHEDULES, THEN.
THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 1996 NATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS WHICH WAS WON BY H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS THAT A COMMITTEE WAS PUT IN PLACE WITH THE MANDATE AS FOLLOWS:
(i) TO ASCERTAIN THE REASONS OR FACTORS THAT THE NDC AND THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DID WELL IN ALL THOSE AREAS AND CONSTITUENCIES AND REGIONS THAT THEY WON AND DID WELL, THERETO.
(ii) TO ALSO ASCERTAIN THE REASONS OR FACTORS THAT MILITATED AGAINST THE NDC AND THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR NOT DOING WELL AND LOST IN THOSE AREAS, CONSTITUENCIES AND REGIONS THEY LOST.
(iii) TO RECOMMEND MEASURES AND STRATEGIES TO MAINTAIN THE AREAS,CONSTITUENCIES AND REGIONS THEY WON AND ALSO SAME FOR REGIONS< AREAS AND CONSTITUENCIES THEY LOST TO ENABLE THE NDC TO IMPROVE UPON ITS PERFORMANCE AND TO WIN THE AREAS,CONSTITUENCIES AND REGIONS.
(iv) TO LOOK FOR A SUITABLE CANDIDATE WHO WILL REPLACE H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS IN THE 2000 NATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
THAT THE QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR WERE THE PERSON OR CANDIDATE TO BE "CHARISMATIC, UNIFIER, GOOD LISTENER, UNDERSTANDING, UNITY IN DIVERSITY AND BELIEVED IN THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE NDC".
THAT I WAS SECRETARY TO THE COMMITTEE AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ASSIGNMENTS I WAS UNDERTAKING BEFORE MY DEPARTURE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THAT BEFORE MY DEPARTURE THERE WAS EMERGING TWO (2) SCHOOLS OF THOUGHTS WITHIN THE NDC AS FOLLOWS:
(i) THAT A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT HAD IT THAT NDC IS NOT POPULIST GOVERNMENT
(ii) THAT ANOTHER SCHOOL OF THOUGHT ALSO HELD THAT NDC IS POPULIST GOVERNMENT.
THAT MY POSITION AT THAT TIME WAS THAT WHETHER OR NOT NDC IS/WAS POPULIST GOVERNMENT THAT AFTER FOUR (4) YEARS THAT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA WILL BE CALLED UPON TO EITHER RENEW THE MANDATE OR NOT AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARGUMENTS EITHER WAY OR NOT BUT TO INITIATE GOOD POLICIES AND ACTIONS THAT WILL BE SEEN TO PROMOTE THE QUALITY GOOD OF THE PEOPLE WHICH IS ALSO THE ESSENCE AND "SINE QUA NON" OF POLITICS, ITSELF.
THAT IT IS THEREFORE MY RESPECTFUL AND CANDID SUBMISSION THAT " THE POLITICS OF DIVIDE AND RULE" EMANATING IN THE NDC WILL NOT AUGUR WELL AND WILL NOT ALSO BE IN THE INTEREST OF NDC, THERETO.
THAT THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE IS THE CASE OF MY OWN DEAR FRIEND H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BARACK OBAMA THAT H.E. APPOINTED H.E.MR.VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AS HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AFTER HE DROPPED OUT OF THE PRIMARY CAMPAIGNS AND ALSO APPOINTED HON.FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON AS HIS FIRST TERM SECRETARY OF STATE AFTER THE PRIMARY PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS AND H.E.WON THE ELECTIONS IN 2008, THERETO.
THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF AMERICA AND GHANA HAS TO EMULATE THAT GOOD HEALTHY VALUES OF DEMOCRACY, THERETO.
THAT I RESPECTFULLY VIEW H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA ABOVE RELATED STATEMENT IF REALLY THE PUBLICATION IS TRUE VERY UNFORTUNATE.
THIS IS BECAUSE DEMOCRACY ITSELF THRIVES ON HEALTHY COMPETITION AND HEALTHY ENGAGEMENTS OF DIVERSE VIEWS PERSPECTIVES TO HELP STIMULATE GOOD POLICIES AND DECISIONS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ENERGIZING THE BASE OF THE NDC AND THAT WILL MOTIVATE MARGINAL VOTERS AND OTHERS TO THE NDC.
THEREFORE "A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE".
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
GOD BLESS GHANA AND AMERICA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,
