Aspiring Member of Parliament for Ekumfi and a Founding Member of the National Democratic congress (NDC), Hon. George Kuntu Blankson, has called on the rank and file of the Party not to be distracted by the shenanigans of the government meant to derail the effort of the NDC to annex power in 2020.
The former Deputy majority chief whip of parliament who is staging a comeback urged NDC members to dismiss with contempt, recent reports of a leak tape involving the National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo.
According to him the leak tape is a distraction.
“The NPP is good at misinformation and they will come up most of the time with red herrings to derail our effort for 2020”. The Vociferous former MP for Ekumfi argues that the issue of a leak tape is just a distraction from the government after the shameful act put up by the NPP vigilante groups who were disguised as National security operatives during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
He therefore called on Ghanaians that the NDC leadership is focused on what the Party can do for Ghanaians, since there is no time to waste. “we have ruled this country before so we have programmes which is focused on the bread and butter issues and development and the nation as a whole, again, to do things which will make the lives of Ghanaians better and not to be distracted by the NPP government which have proven to be a bunch of con-men and women “He stated.
He said although opponents of the NDC would debate its achievements, records show that the NDCs performance in government has seen the tremendous development and improvement in the area of health, security, education and massive infrastructural development. ‘We are therefore particular more on showing the Ghanaian electorates on what the NDC has done and what it intends to do, if we should win power in 2020.
Touching on the menace of party vigilante groups and calls for its disbandment, Hon. Kuntu Blankson described as hypocrisy in the highest order on the part of President Nana Addo and his Party the NPP to create and impression that they are much concerned about the issue and to have called for a dialogue when in actual fact they are the ones grooming these vigilantes in secret.
According to him it is a shame that the NPP under H.E. Akufo Addo are training a militia group at the former seat of government, The Osu -Castle, which once served as the seat of government and currently that is where the Emile Short Commission of Inquiry is sitting on the AWW violence brouhaha, host four Ministers of State, it also hosts the Ministry of Regional Reorganization and Development and according to the latest expose by Investigative journalist, Manasseh Awuni Azure. “this exposes the hypocritical stance of the President and his Party, the latest expose by the Journalist defeats the president’s agenda to ban party vigilantes and is a clear indictment on the government, it seems the Nana Akufo Addo government is falling on its hunt to fight political vigilante groups’ He stated.
