Group shreds Asiedu Nketiah into bits; calls him 'greedy'

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, General Secretary of NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, General Secretary of NDC

A group calling itself the Concern Youth of Brong-Ahafo has described General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah as one whose “greed know no bounds”.

The group in a statement alleged that the NDC chief scribe was lobbying for the position as running mate at the expense of his role as general secretary.

“Barely, one year after his four year mandate, Asiedu Nketiah is seriously lobbying to be running mate. Never mind the fact that he still has 3 years more to serve as General secretary of the party.”

In a barrage of questions, the group quizzed: “Does Asiedu Nketiah think that apart from him, no one else can be running mate, especially from the Brong-Ahafo region?”

The statement from the group further noted that the chief scrub would not have won the race if not the vile propaganda against his contender during the national executive election.

“Fast forward to 2018, Asiedu Nketiah contested again as General secretary for the fourth time, but because his competitor was perceived as ginger-headed, the NDC was torn between the devil and the deep blue sea and grudgingly settle on him. I dare say that but for the vile propaganda against his opponent, the story would have been different.”

CONCERN YOUTH OF BRONG-AHAFO

THE GREED OF ASIEDU NKETIAH KNOWS NO BOUNDS


In 2005, when the NDC went to Congress to elect its National leaders in Koforidua, the two main contenders for the position of General secretary were the more refined sly Mensah and Johnson Asiedu Nketiah.

Very little was known about Asiedu Nketiah then. Nonetheless, he carried the day largely because of the open endorsement of his candidature by the RAWLINSES.

Not long after that, Asiedu Nketiah pitched camp with Rawlings’ perceived political enemies and tagged him as a ” BARKING DOG WHO MUST BE CAGED”. Asiedu Nketiah accused Rawlings of seeking to run the NDC as his personal property.

As a General Secretary, He took mafia and wicked decisions that cost the NDC a number of parliamentary seats in the 2016 elections. What is even sadder, is that the NDC lost in his own home constituency TAIN in the 2016 General Elections.

Fast forward to 2018, Asiedu Nketiah contested again as General secretary for the fourth time, but because his competitor was perceived as ginger-headed, the NDC was torn between the devil and the deep blue sea and grudgingly settle on him. I dare say that but for the vile propaganda against his opponent, the story would have been different.

Barely, one year after his four year mandate, Asiedu Nketiah is seriously lobbying to be running mate. Never mind the fact that he still has 3 years more to serve as General secretary of the party.

The questions that readily come to mind are;

If Asiedu Nketiah wanted to be running mate why did he contested for the General Secretary?

Does Asiedu Nketiah think that being a running mate is about wearing ladies coat, cracking jokes and embarrassing Ghana at the international scene?

Does Asiedu Nketiah think that apart from him, no one else can be running mate, especially from the Brong-Ahafo region?

Asiedu Nketia should tell us who he had helped in his own region, Brong-Ahafo in the 12 years that he has been General Secretary of the NDC?

Is Asiedu Nketia not guilty of the very things he accused chairman Rawlings of (Tyranny and Dictatorship)

He who the gods want to destroy they first make mad.
