Let NPP Elders Dare…I’ll Reclaim All My Monies Before I Quit The Party-Ken Agyepong

12/20/2013 10:38 am

I’ve always said that politics is never about the masses, the suffering population or those who are being governed. It has and will always be about MONEY, those doing the governing and those who can pull the strings…

Hon Ken Agyepong has stated that he will not bow to any pressures from the Elders of the New Patriotic Party, and if they dare seek to question some of his legitimate actions (talks), they should be ready to cough out the 1.5 million dollars the party borrowed from him…And then he will leave their party for them.

According to PeaceFm;

The Council of Elders of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have come under a deluge of criticism for displaying, what many deem as bias in dealing with members who have allegedly brought the party into disrepute.

This assertion stems from the fact that Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku has been summoned before the highest advisory body in the party for questioning, following his call for a change in the party leadership, whereas, Hon. Ken Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, who is also one of the major financiers of the party, is ‘walking free’ after describing the entire hierarchy of the party as “thieves and corrupt”.

DID HE REALLY SAY THAT? Kweku Baako Says Kwame Nkrumah Is GREATER Than Mandela

I respect Kweku Baako and he has the right to air his opinions like every other person.

But to suggest that, a dictator and champion of nepotism-Kwame Nkrumah, who had no respect for the rule of law as it can be clearly seen in his enactment of the Preventive Detention Act, by any means is GREATER than Mandela—is pure absurdity.

Again, Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela belong to different era of time with different political situations, it is therefore even wrong to compare the two men. Even if you decide to go ahead of a comparison, I do not see how Nkrumah would ever be greater than Mandela.

According to Graphic Ghana;

he Editor of the New Crusading Guide, Mr Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says Kwame Nkrumah was the greatest African.

He was contributing to a debate on whom of South Africa’s first black President, Nelson Mandela, and Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah, was the greatest African.

The debate, which has gained grounds since Mandela died last week, has divided many Ghanaians.

Mr Baako said while Mandela could be described as one of the greatest Africans, he did not measure up to Nkrumah.

“The greatest leader, for me, was Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah”, Mr Baako said on Peace FM’s ‘Kokroko’ on Wednesday.

Nana Akufo Addo Says No Court Case, No False Declaration In 2016

Whether Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will return as the 2016 presidential candidate for the NPP or not—no one seems to be sure, including himself. But one thing Nana Addo is sure about is that, 2016 election needs to be well watched by party supporters…

According to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, court cases can be prevented if party members take up the responsibility and challenge to ensure that no one has a yard to cheat or rig the election…

According to The Stateman;

The 20112 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has reminded the leadership and membership of the party about the responsibility they have to make sure that in 2016 “we don’t have a court case or a false declaration.

In an apparent reference to the election petition that challenged the declaration of John Dramani Mahama as winner of the 2012 elections, Nana Akufo-Addo admonished his party faithful to ensure the ballot is protected in 2016 while making sure that the right declaration of the winner is made by the Electoral Commissioner to forestall any challenge of the declaration in the law courts.

He gave the advice when he delivered a speech at dinner organized by the Young Executive Forum in London.

According to Nana Addo, “It is clear that our opponents are good at being declared winners of elections but are bad at governing our nation. It means that whatever it takes, we have to make sure that at the next election, not only do we win it but are actually declared the winners. That is the responsibility before us.”

Sacked from her position as a Deputy Communications Minister owning to the infamous Victoria Hammah gossip tape, the troubled former Minister of State is back in the news again—and this time, she is being accused of failing to stop when asked by a Traffic Police Officer who proceeded to SLAP her after she caused injury to officer…

With two contradictory stories coming from the Police Officer and Victoria Hammah, it is difficult to establish who is telling the truth. However, the truth remains; Victoria Hammah has had one hell of a nasty year.

She has to take a long holiday out of Ghana to reflect on things and decide on what she wants to do with her life.

According to DailyGuide;

Former Deputy Minister of Communications, Victoria Lakshmi Hammah, is caught up in fresh drama, after a fracas with a police officer attached to the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) of the Ghana Police Service.

While the police officer claimed Victoria failed to stop as directed and had injured him in the process, the former deputy minister said she was given a hefty slap by the motor traffic cop who additionally called her “ashawo”, a derogatory term meaning ‘prostitute’ at a major intersection at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, close to the Neoplan Station last Thursday.

The president of Ghana-John Dramani Mahama has asked Ghanaians, especially the many radio commentators to stop the daily radio rants and help fix the problems of Ghana.

Ghana’s economy is fast going down the ditch with its citizens struggling to maintain a decent lifestyle. The president has come under several attacks since taking up the office for his lack of grasp on the economy and failing to honor the many campaign promises…

Even if we all have to come together to solve the problems of Ghana, we surely need a leader who will take realistic initiatives to kick start the solution finding exercise—and help better the lives of the ordinary Ghanaians…

According to RadioXYZ;

President John Mahama says his critics must join forces with him to fix Ghana rather than keep raving and ranting on radio.

“…It doesn’t pay to vent our frustration on radio talk show programmes”, the president chastised Sunday when he spoke as the Guest of honour at the 120th celebration of the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra.

The Victoria Hammah talk will not end anytime soon. Apart from the various politicians who have jumped unto the saga, the Victoria Hammh’s family members at Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo Region are also talking—and they want Vicky to be given a second chance by President Mahama.

Beyond their apologies and pleads, they’ve even pulled in a connection which indicates that Victoria Hammah is related to President Mahama…

Should Victoria Hammah be given any chance this soon?

According to Ghanaian Chronicle;

The family of the beleaguered former Deputy Communications Minister, Victoria Hammah, at Kintampo has called on President John Dramani Mahama to “temper justice with mercy” and reinstate their daughter.

According to the family, they were not in any way condoning the alleged unethical behaviour of Ms. Victoria Hammah, or justifying the issues talked about on the said leaked audio recording,, but were pleading with the President to save them from the shock and disappointment the dismissal had brought them.

Madam Akosua Nimo, Grandmother of the beleaguered deputy Communication Minister, disclosed that Vicky Hammah and President Mahama were siblings, explaining that the President’s mother, Abena Kupor, was a direct sister of her (Akosua Nimo). “Victoria is a sister of John Mahama, because Abena Kupor is the mother of John Mahama, who is my sister.” Vicky Grandmother stressed.

Madam Akosua Nimo further indicated that Victoria Hammah, from her childhood, aspired to become a politician and had taken serious actions towards achieving that dream, so her appointment came as a justification and a fulfillment of a dream, which was a joy to the entire family and the people of Kintampo.
