The former Consul to Dubai, Daniel Osei, says the
approach adopted by the leadership of the opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) to re-register its members is a scam.
“It is being done to give former President John
Mahama and his camp total control of the party so that he will have an undue
advantage over the other contestants who are preparing to become the NDC’s
flagbearer for the 2020, he said.
“We are sleeping folks, and the NPP is cruising to
victory in 2020. I am vexed. It's shameful what these enemies of progress are
willing to do without regard to our party,” he said on one of the NDC social
media platforms.
According to him, “The scattered and expensive
process leading to the next primaries of the party, including ‘fake’ and
‘useless’ registration booklets is ‘unsustainable.”
“For those who have participated in branch elections
in the past, when did national ever print booklets for branch exercises?”
“So this gargantuan mess will continue to thrive
until we get to their ace card where it becomes so expensive for other
candidates to compete, they'll have their guys in place to control events and
their candidate who will fund the entire exercise -including the ‘Nokofioo’ for
the delegates and their transportation etc - will become the obvious choice!”
he fired.
“It's all a big scam and must be rejected with the urgency
it deserves.
“What the leadership of the party is seeking to
implement has the ‘sole purpose’ of helping the greedy ‘bastards’ impose their
chosen one as flag bearer.”
“To allow these crooks to use the same repressive
tactics to continue to steer the affairs of the party can only yield one
result; defeat in 2020, and it will be more disastrous than 2016.”
He said “the Mahama camp is going to overwhelm the
process with money and become the obvious choice and you and I know their
chosen one can't win a national election in Ghana,” adding “don't be fooled by
the silly busing of a handful of people to make noise, as indicative of broad
support.
“Talk to your friends and neighbours and you will
see person after person, who supported Mills in 2008, supported NDC in 2012,
same people rejected Mahama in 2016!
Mr Osei charged the rank and file of the NDC who he
called comrades to “use information wisely.”
He said that if the NDC wants to elicit the support
of the electorate for 2020, the party must listen carefully and partner them
intelligently and proactively.”
“Talk to the business community and you will see
they rejected Mahama and don't want him back! Talk to the leadership and
members of AGI, talk to the bankers, engage the entrepreneurs and businessmen
and have a candid conversation. Talk to members and leadership of GREDA and
they will tell you they can't support him. Traders, farmers, nurses, teachers
all rejected the former president.”
He added “the international community did not hide
their disdain for his governance and style, so much that foreign diplomats in
the country went rogue, voiced their opinions and openly demanded change.”
The former consul said “in the opinion of workers
and the labour front, Mahama was a disaster.
“We are the party of workers and he systematically
destroyed our working relations with labour unions, all in a quest to score
silly political points instead of paying attention to the needs of workers and
empowering labour as our social democratic ideology instructs.”
“We leaked information to make doctors look bad for
no other reason than to pat ourselves on the back and claim ‘we've out smarted
them - and to what end?”
“Enough is enough. Forget about them and their evil
plots. Reject their low-level thinking and bankrupt ideology of sycophancy,” he
fired, adding “speak truth to power. Rise up and take back your party.”
