Confusion broke among some supporters of the NDC Monday

Confusion rocks NDC press conference
Misunderstanding broke at the Ghana International
Press Centre in Accra on Monday 15 May among some
supporters of the opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) following the disruption of a press
conference organised by a youth group called
Action Movement.

The group, addressing the press, blamed former
President John Dramani Mahama for the party’s
defeat in the 2016 polls and urged him not to
harbour the idea of contesting the NDC
flagbearship race for the 2020 polls.

Before spokesperson for the group, Kodzo Hamenya
Keglo, finished his warning to the former
president against contesting in 2020, an NDC
supporter in anger ordered the speaker to quit the
accusations, leading to scuffles between the two
parties.

The group said: “JM’s ‘dead goat syndrome’
during 2012 to 2016 is still there and it’s
obvious that JM loves his cronies than the
grassroots and is still behaving like a dead goat.
If JM is still defending his appointees who hurt
our grassroots badly, then JM has no pity for the
grassroots.

“JM should do what is honourable. He is causing
our party great harm by just saying that he has
taken responsibility for our loss. JM should stop
the silent torture on our electorate and say
exactly what he has taken responsibility for.

“Who has failed him? Who did not do his/her work
well? Where should money go and did not go? Which
of his appointees failed him? Why were the women
organisers not resourced? Why did JM not call
Valerie Sawyer to order when he heard that she was
campaigning against the NDC candidate in Klottey
Korle? Whose idea was it to rather resource
friends and ladies for Mahama to the detriment of
our executives? These are the question we are
asking.

“If JM does not come out immediately for what he
has taken responsibility for, then it won’t be
morally right for him to organise himself as a
candidate for the party. JM must not dare 2020 if
he doesn’t clear the air for what he has taken
responsibility for.”
