Koku Anyidoho is a ‘pathetic loose cannon’ – Edmund Kyei

Edmund Kyei member of the New Patriotic Party communications team has told Koku Anyidoho to stop grumbling like an “imbecile” as he hit back at his insults against Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

He said Koku Anyidoho’s recent verbal attacks against the NPP’s vice presidential candidate is a deliberate attempt to incite certain ethnic group against the party.

While describing the NDC’s deputy scribe as an embodiment of insolence, who has no respect for his seniors, Mr Kyei said its high time such verbal vituperations are ignored by the media, especially coming from a “pathetic loose cannon” like Mr Anyidoho.

Mr Kyei’s comments come in the wake of claims by Koku Anyidoho that Dr Bawumia is a ‘useless politician’.

Koku Anyidoho has in the past few months launched a sustained attack on the person of Dr Bawumia calling him a liar, claiming he failed to provide an iota of evidence to back his allegation of over 76,286 Togolese nationals are on Ghana’s voters register.

The former Presidential spokesperson has vowed to torment Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who is a former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, if he fails to produce his list of Togolese on Ghana’s voters roll. Addressing a rally of NDC supporters in Kumasi on Saturday, Koku Anyidoho described Dr Bawumia as “Mutum Banza”, a Hausa expression used to describe a worthless person.

But, Mr Kyei says the NDC’s deputy scribe lacks the moral right to query Dr Bawumia’s integrity, and said, it was laughable for a loudmouth like Anyidoho to question the sincerity of a man who has distinguished himself in his career.

“It is pathetic to listen to a nonentity like Anyidoho fighting tooth and nail to discredit Dr Bawumia. Ghana is suffering because elements such as Anyidoho got to the corridors of power.

“We were in this country when this same Anyhidoho publicly announced the dismissal of the so-called Ashanti regional director of ECG, when in real fact, no position of such nature existed.

“What is his record when he worked as director of communications at the presidency? He was all over the place,” Mr Kyei fumed.
