Prof. Ransford Gyampo
The NDC and their leaders; John Mahama, Fifi Kwetey, Asiedu Nketia and their allies in academia Professors Bokpin, Gatsi and Gyampo detest debate.
In fact, it is surprising that those in academia such as Prof Gyampo who should lead the intellectual scrutiny of the policy alternatives in Election 2024 believe in name calling rather than the debate.
If debate does not irritate the NDC and its allies, would Prof Gyampo refer to the Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia as a “remnant?” Very arrogant and disrespectful posturing of Prof Gyampo from Akuapem Larteh, the land of people who would beg you first for permission to greet or engage you in discourse.
Any call for debate agitates the NDC because its main policy agenda wobbles as the people find it difficult to understand what it stands for.
Rather than being dismissive of John Mahama’s so-called flagship policy, the NPP should encourage the NDC to bring it on, so that their lack of understanding of their own agenda would expose their hypocrisy and incompetence reminiscent of their governance style from 2009 to early 2017.
We know that many characters in the NDC just want to provoke the NPP to lose focus of keeping their eyes on the goal to break the eight.
As for Franklin Fifi Fiavi (the Prince) Kwetey, his behaviour is nauseating but we take solace in the wisdom of our elders that, after vomiting there is no feeling of symptoms of nausea.
That tribal bigot should not be the focus of the NPP platform going into Election 2024.
Ghanaians must also ignore Fifi Kwetey’s tribal politics and demand policies that can take the nation to higher levels. After all, it is needless and unproductive to engage the NDC in their type of politics that ignores the issues for personal attacks and divisive politics.
We also counsel the NPP to remain focused on its agenda to break the eight to do more for Ghana.
Never battle a pig in the mud because no reasonable being would win such a contest.
The gutter or muddy environment is the home of the pig, so it does not worry about hygiene. Fifi Kwetey wants to stage the political campaign in the mud. We should reject him and his NDC.
Since the Vice President “outdoored” his vision, the NDC has begun the process of a review of its 24-hour economy like remedial for students who performed abysmally at WASCCE.
Reports indicate the NDC has asked its communicators to desist from engaging in debate of the 24-hour economy. The NDC is now training its people to explain for instance how a farmer would benefit from the 24-hour economy, how the waakye seller and fufu chop bar operator can get customers at 2am and the bush meat dealer can ply his trade along the highways in the night.
Politics is about leaving a legacy, or it is like a will for future generations to look up to. That is why we have always advocated a new breed of role models who believe in working hard to leave good examples for others to follow.
We do not have room for Fifi Kwetey’s Order of the Vulture whose members including some media people, academia and civil society aim at making Ghana a war zone just to prevent Vice President Bawumia’s vision for the country.
The NDC detests intellectual debate because its members lack the vision for any good thing for Ghana. Remember under Mahama in the past, Ghana slept in darkness for over five years. Never again for an indecisive person at the seat of government as captured in the book “My First Coup d’etat.”
