...refuses to meet Ghanaians..... tells local party he is tired
We members of the Youth for A Better Ghana are tired of the snobbishness and arrogance of our leaders who are supposed to know better.We can report authoritatively that President John Mahama sneaked into London Saturday afternoon and was quickly whisked to a hotel in a leafy part of North West London. Although there is no big deal about the President coming to the UK the fact that he would seek to avoid meeting the Ghanaian community in the UK smacks of a betrayal and under our culture as Ghanaians be seen as a slap in the face of hardworking NDC party activists in the UK who wish to use the opportunity to market and promote their leader.
Our sources close to the president who met some party activistsincluding one cobbinah who is the Western Regional Secretary for the NDC who had flown into London to attend the Labour Party conference complained of tiredness and declined to participate in a forum which was being organised on his behalf to meet Ghanaians in the UK. He is reported to have shouted
“Why wont you people let me rest Habaa am i a machine”? to the shock and bewilderment of local party members and some aides from the Ghana High commission.
Our source told us President Mahama, said he needed to rest and did nt want to be disturbed until he left for Ghana on Monday.
The question boggling the minds of the hardworking executive of the ruling National Democratic congress in the UK, who contribute a lot to support the party in Ghana but are afraid to talk was that if the leader was so arrogant and was displaying such an uncaring attitude why were they killing ourselves? The late Professor Mills will never have behaved like this, no wonder our members in Ghana are running away to join the NDP! If he is tired to meet us then we also will be tired to vote for him one executive lamented.
Why will a President of Ghana seeking to be voted for will refuse to meet and engage thousands of Ghanaians in the UK including its vibrant local Press is open to question and debate.
