Dr. Amoako-Baah Should Start Drinking Soup After Eating Fufu..... Razak Kojo Opoku

 

Dr. Amoako-Baah Should Start Drinking Soup After Eating Fufu..... Razak Kojo Opoku


Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah has made some unfortunate statements against the candidature of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and it is equally important to reply him with the same yardstick.

Before I proceed, let me set the record straight that, the contribution of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the New Patriotic Party and Ghana as a whole is much heavier in weight that Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah can never carry on his head or shoulders. 

In his quest to project his favourite candidate Alan Kyerematen, it is quite sad that, Dr. Amoako-Baah has started engaging in segregation and tribal bigotry.

I would like to respond to the claims of Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah as follows:

1. "Dr. Amoako-Baah is of the conviction that the NPP would lose if the elections were held today because many people are saying that Nana Addo is not doing well and if Nana Addo is not doing well Bawumia is not doing well"


Response

The records of Nana Akufo-Addo's Government will deliver electoral victory for NPP over NDC any day any time. Akufo-Addo's Government has not transformed Ghana into paradise, however, his 6 years record surpasses the 8years achievements of the Mills/Mahama Government.

If Nana Addo is not doing well according to Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah then the entire Economic Management Team including Alan Kyerematen and Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto are not doing well as Sector Ministers and Members of the Economic Management Team. If Sector Ministers do their work well the role of  coordination will be easy for Akufo-Addo’s Economic Management Team. 

2. Bawumia is young, let the others go and Unite the Party


Response

I would like to ask Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah, how come the delegates of NPP chose relatively young J. A. Kufuor over an oldman Professor Adu Boahen for the 1996 general elections?

How come an oldman Professor Adu Boahen was not allowed to contest the 1996 general elections without a challenge from young J. A. Kufuor?

How come J. A Kufuor was not allowed to contest the 2000 general elections without a challenge from young Nana Akufo-Addo in 1998?

How come Nana Akufo-Addo was not allowed to contest the 2008, 2012 and 2016 general elections without a challenge from young Alan Kyerematen in 2007, 2010 and 2014?

How come Nana Akufo-Addo was not allowed to contest 2008 general elections without a challenge from young Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, Dan Botwe, Boakye Agyarko and others in 2007 at Legon?

If it is about old age then let's allow a contest Only between Kofi Konadu Apraku and Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto for the Flagbearership?

3. "Outsider Bawumia not true blue NPP Man(not a true blood NPP Member); he is an Alien and Must Step Aside" 


Response

How can a whole Political Science Lecturer talk like this as if he doesn't drink soup after eating fufu. Quite retrogressive pronouncements from Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah.

The questions one may ask:

(a) is NPP a monarchy to be occupied by blood line relatives?

(b) is NPP the birth right of some selected people or aged population?

(c) is NPP an ethnic based Party whereby one is supposed to be related to or become a member through blood/DNA Identification?

The unfortunate statements from Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah are backward and 'tribalistic nonsense'. These were some of the reckless and irresponsible statements that kept the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition in opposition for almost 30 years before winning power in 2000. We should NOT encourage such unfortunate utterances for our multi-party democracy.

We have a long way to go as a Country if such Characters like Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah continue to teach students political science.

Joseph in the Bible was an Outsider but became a Prime Minister of Egypt, ruling Egypt for years.

According to the NPP Constitution, a member shall be entitled to nomination as the Party's Presidential Candidate if he/she is a known and active member of the Party of at least five(5) years. Per this provision, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is more than qualified to be the 2024 Presidential Candidate of NPP by the Grace of God.

In 2018, an Alien Freddie Blay polled 3,021 votes against a true blood NPP member Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah who polled a paltry 18 Votes during the National Delegates Conference.

Just recently, during the Ashanti Regional Delegates Conference, Candidates such as Bernard Antwi-Boasiako(Chairman Wontumi) and Odeneho Kwaku Appiah who are known loyalists of Alien Bawumia polled 464 Votes and 306 Votes respectively.

However, the Candidates such as Asare Bediako Robert, Kwabena Owusu-Aduomi and Kofi Adum Bawuah who are known loyalists of a true blood NPP Member Alan Kyerematen polled 20 Votes, 9 Votes and 3 Votes respectively.

I would like to respectfully urge Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah to cease his usual habit of doing fufu- politics, fufu-semantics and fufunomics because NPP is a serious Political Party that has modernized itself to embrace all tribes both young and old for the collective good of Ghana.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
