The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has rubbished claims that the party had rescheduled the presentation of project items of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s Ahotor project because of National Chairman Samuel Ofosu Ampofo.

This is contained in a press release from the NDC signed by General Secretary Asiedu Nketia in reacting to a story published by the Informer newspaper with the headline ‘Ofosu Ampofo Goes Dirty’.

According to the statement, in the said publication, the author sought to create a false impression that National Chairman Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has resorted to some dirty manoeuvres to undermine the smooth take-off of the Ahotor project being sponsored by Dr. Kwabena Duffour.

To set the records straight, the NDC has released a statement today explaining that the rescheduling of the presentation of the Ahotor project items has nothing to do with Ofosu Ampofo.

“The event was rescheduled because of certain issues raised subsequent to the final meeting by the donor with aspects of the agreement which required further deliberations and clearance by FEC,” part of the NDC release has explained.

It concludes, “We wish to further put on record that decision making in NDC is done strictly in accordance with the Party’s constitution and not by the dictates of any individual however highly placed he/she may be.”

Below is a copy of the NDC statement:

‘I’ve come to firmly resolved that NDC is a trusted party, my followers come join me here’ — 2016 Jomoro PPP PC defects to NDC

The 2016 Parliamentary Candidate for the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) in Jomoro Constituency of the Western Region, Mr. Mathieu Kwao Bentho has defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Announcing his defection over the weekend at a press conference at Elubo, Mr Mathieu Kwao Bentho stated that the NDC remains now the best political party in Ghana.

He also added that as compared to the NPP, the NDC had done more development than the NPP and also has the development of Ghana at heart hence his decision to join the party (NDC).

“As the 2016 Parliamentary Candidate (PC), Progressive People’s Party (PPP) and with my sixteen (16) years experience in active and behind the scenes in politics, I have come to firmly resolved that, it is the National Democratic Congress Party (NDC) that can be trusted with the destiny and the development of this beautiful country, Ghana, hence my decision to defect and join the national democratic party”, he said.

He used the opportunity to emphasize that he was not joining the NDC to compete or fight for any position in the party but just to be an ordinary member to support the party to recapture in 2024.

“I wish to emphatically state that my decision to defect and join the NDC is not to compete in any position but serve the party as an ordinary new party member as any other faithful member will serve”, he pledged.

He also pledged to support the NDC’s Member of Parliament (MP) for Jomoro, Madam Dorcas Afo-Toffey to succeed.

“Let me also state it clear that I don’t have any ambition to contest as a Parliamentary Candidate so nobody should think that I have joined the NDC for any contest any one including the Hon MP, Madam Dorcas Afo-Toffey in Jomoro”, he emphasized.

He added that, “As the common adage goes, I have carried the PPP, the NPP and the NDC and I have come to know which party cares and I have settled with the NDC. The love is deep and the NDC is caring.”

Mr. Kwao Bentho who was the PPP Western Regional Second Vice Chairman in 2012 advised the youth of Jomoro, Ellembelle, Evalue Ajomoro-Gwira and Ghana at large that if they wish to secure their future, the NDC should be their choice not the NPP.

“My uncle Peter Nwawan was the first parliamentary candidate in jomoro constituency for the NPP and He led all to join the NPP though we belonged to the NDC before I became the PPP Parliamentary Candidate in 2016. As the adage goes, I have carried the NDC, the NPP and the PPP and I know which is heavy. I have come to conclude after sixteen (16) years of experience in active and behind scene politics that the NPP can never be trusted with what they say or promise,” he stressed.

He, therefore, called on his followers who voted for him in 2016 to join him in NDC to help former President John Mahama win the 2024 general elections and Hon. Dorcas Afo-Toffey to rescue Ghana from collapsing.

“The Akufo-Addo government with mouthwatering promises ascended to power but the result is clear incompetence. Today you can’t buy anything, everything has increased, prices of goods and services have all skyrocketed, the youth of this country are not getting work to do and most have lost total hope in the NPP and its government.

“I therefore wish to use this medium to call on my followers who voted for me in the 2016 general elections to join me in NDC to campaign and vote massively for His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to become president to rescue the country”, and the NDC’s Members of Parliament, Hon Dorcas Afo-Toffey in Jomoro, Hon Armah Kofi Buah in Ellembele and Hon Kofi Nokoe (KAN) in Evalue Ajomoro-Gwira constituencies to retain their parliamentary seats come 2024 to help develop our Nzemaland and Ghana at large,” he emphasised.

Moreover, the leadership of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the area has welcomed him to the party and promised to work tirelessly with him to maintain the Jomoro Parliamentary seat and recapture the presidential seat for John Mahama in 2024.

Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), says the annual celebration of the June 4 uprising is to rewrite the wrongs and ensure they are not repeated.

He said although lives were lost through the uprising, the celebration was to reinforce the cause of the uprising and how to prevent such from happening again.

Mr Asiedu Nketia made this known at Nkwanta during the 43rd Annual June 4 celebrations with the Oti Region hosting this year’s event.

He said the current mismanagement of Ghana’s economy and resources, including the issues surrounding the declassification of the Achimota Forest were unacceptable and worrying.

He noted that the country could not be spending money to green the country while the Forest was being ‘destroyed.’

Touching on education, Mr Asiedu Nketia called for accountability from the Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, regarding allegations surrounding some 1.2 million dollars for a training programme for public school teachers, sponsored by the World Bank.

He said the NDC always spoke against corruption and other activities that led to the June 4 uprising because it did not want the country to experience any coup d’état.

Although Former President John Dramani Mahama was expected to grace the occasion, he could not make it. This year’s celebration coincided with the Party’s 30th Anniversary.

Mr Geoffrey Kini, the Nkwanta South Member of Parliament, expressed gratitude to all who attended and urged them to work hard for the victory of the NDC in the 2024 general election.

Other party executives and members in attendance were Mr Samuel Ofusu Ampofo, the National Chairman, Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, Running Mate for the 2020 elections, Mr Peter Otukono, Deputy General Secretary, Mr Gyampong Kojo, Oti Regional Chairman, and Madam Hellen Adjoa Ntoso, Krachi West MP.

The National Organiser of the NDC, Joshua Hamidu Akamba has appealed to members of the opposition party to come together and form a formidable front that could win political power in 2024.

According to him, the need for the NDC to win the 2024 general elections to rescue Ghanaians from what he termed as severe hardship has become imperative in view of the current happenings in the country.

Speaking on the “Gumbe” show, comrade Akamba stated that “Ghanaians will not forgive us as a party if we fail to rescue the country from the current hardship Akufo Addo has put around our necks.”

He added, “As a party, we have a rescue mission to accomplish and this mission is to be able to win political power in the next election to salvage the ordinary Ghanaians from the unprecedented hardship”.

Comrade Akamba alleged that Ghanaians were being “murdered” by the Akufo Addo’s administration through unbearable hardship as a result of poor economic management

He said, “Aside the hardship, Akufo Addo and his cronies are doing everything possible to take control of every mineral resource we have in this country under the Agyapa deal.”

He indicated that Ghanaians have clearly understood that the NPP used subterfuge and propaganda to win it way to power.

“What is happening before our eyes under Akufo Addo is clear that the NPP does not have men who have the country at heart but those whose main mission is to loot the country’s resources,” he intimated.

He, therefore, encouraged members of the NDC and Ghanaians in general to have a renewed trust in the NDC as a beacon of hope to rescue the country from the hands of Akufo Addo’s mismanagement.
