The deputy general secretary of the National Democratic Congress has described the presidential candidate of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo -Addo, as the fundamental problem behind the internal wrangling within the party.
Koku Anyidoho said, “the fundamental problem of the party is the leader, Nana Akufo-Addo. He is a bad choice, a wrong choice, a very divisive, disorganised, petty, vindictive person and he cannot lead the NPP”.
According to him, this was something that S.K Boafo, a founding father of the party, wanted to put across but declined just to save the party from public ridicule.
In an interview with the host of rainbow radio’s morning show, Kwame Tutu, the Deputy NDC General Secretary opined that the statement by the former Ashanti Regional Minister- S.K Boafoh- should not be swept under the carpet because he has confirmed that Nana Addo is a bad leader.
Koku Anyidoho advised Nana Addo and the NPP to sort out their issues of disunity and misunderstanding before Ghanaians will give them the attention they are craving for.
The deputy general secretary labelled the “Rise and Build Tour” as “Rice and Beans,” unnecessary and uncalled for, because it is creating more confusion in the NPP than unity.
Koku Anyidoho stated that the tour is an activity which the NPP is using to solve the deep cracks within the party.
According to him, Nana Addo is wasting his time with the tour, a tour which has failed to pull some of the elders in the in party including former president John Kufuor and Kwadwo Mpianim.
One thing that Koku, described as a shocker was the failure on the part of Nana Addo to pay homage to the Paramount Chief of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II.
He said, “you are showing disrespect to the King of Asante, you are pursuing your own agenda, very myopic agenda, and you claim you are rising and building, what are you arising and building?”
He accused Nana Addo and the NPP of being desperate for power and therefore using unauthorized means to achieve their aim.
He also called on Nana Addo to stop giving the impression that he is the solution that Ghana needs to solve its problems.
