NPP Visiting Juju Priests To Kill Mills – NDC Man

By Alfred K. Dogbey

A Deputy National Propaganda Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has claimed that some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have been visiting “juju priests to eliminate or harm President, John E.A Mills” in the party’s quest to wrestle power from the NDC government.

Solomon Nkansah alleged that the NPP was frequenting juju shrines in Togo, Benin and the neighboring countries “to invoke serious illness on the President ahead of the general election”.

Mr. Nkansah said this in an exclusive interview with The Herald last Tuesday, at the International Press Centre, Osu, during which he described the Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG) leaderships as bunch of “land guards.”

“The NPP at all cost wants power through foul means by engaging in a series of voodoosm and occultisms just to eliminate the President”, he said.

He went on: “I know the NPP very well; they are a bunch of disgruntled people who are rushing to go back to the Castle as if they have left a golden chain out there”.

According to him, a text message sent by Gabby Otchere Darko, Director of Danquah Institute to Koku Anyidoho, Director of Communication at the Castle, asking him whether President Mills’ health had deteriorated and he had been rushed to the hospital, confirms that the NPP is after the life of President Mills.

“Look my brother, what beats my imagination is why an opposition party would be sending a message, finding out the health status of a President”, he said adding, “Only children of Satan could do such a thing”.

“We know their modus operandi and we’re critically monitoring the movements of those NPP guys who are behind the juju plot” Mr. Nkansah stressed.

He alleged that Mr. Bamba, the Brong Ahafo Regional Propaganda Secretary of the NPP had even said it that they had consulted all the juju men in West Africa and they have declared that Nana Akuffo Addo would win.

“You see, now they know they cannot eliminate the president as they attempted in 2008, where the then candidate J.E.A Mills’ car had avoided a head-on collision with an unknown car at Kpando, near the Commercial Bank,” he said.

Mr. Nkansah conceded that though juju cases cannot be testified, there was the need for the Ghanaian public to have the fore-knowledge about this development. Religious groups must be informed to pray for the life of the president because this is a worrying situation from the camp of the NPP.

Asked how he knew about Mr. Gabby’s message to Mr. Anyidoho, he said “you know, I work with Koku, and am the Deputy National Propaganda Secretary, and Koku is the Director of Communication, so it was in the course of communication that Koku told me that this is the worrying message he had from Gabby and so quickly we have to arrange for an interview for the President through Radio Gold to allay fears and also to truncate their evils plans.”

On AFAG, he told The Herald, “it is an organization that is “more of land guards” because the AFAG members do not have any credibility in their respective political background; hence they resort to undermine any organization which they see is far ahead of them”.

Hear Mr. Nkansah: “look at the AFAG members, Sammy Awuku is there, Anthony Karbo, Kabilla, John Kuma and Ramadam; they all have their political parties yet they don’t argue from there because they’re not credible, because they have no moral background to challenge the NDC government.”

“Look at the current statement issued by AFAG on the alleged NDC’s headquarters saga, where they put up some figures as been the money been used for the building. Where would the NDC get such huge money from”?, he asked

“It does not sound well in the minds of Ghanaians” he said.

Mr. Nkansah debunked AFAG’s claims as nonsensical, daring the leadership to take the government or the NDC to court if it believed it had misconducted itself.

“Ask AFAG, has somebody stolen a land, has someone built on somebody’s property and the ownership of the property is in dispute? They don’t have anything to tell Ghanaians. Where was AFAG when ex-President Kuffuor built ‘Hotel Kuffour?”, he asked.

According to him, AFAG has only brought this issue as an agenda-setting to divert attention from their flag-bearer, Nana Addo’s desecration of a Mosque at Damango.

“The NPP and their AFAG just wanted to dampen the heat they are taking from the pro-NDC media houses,” he asserted.

On the issue of the selection of the NPP running mate, he said, he was “confidently sure Nana Addo would pick Dr. Bawumia, his former running mate. And for this we in the NDC do not have any problem, but should there be a change, well we’ll re-strategize our plan come 2012”.
