Akufo Addo’s Latest Declaration From Asamankese, As He Snubs
Calls For An Apology By Repeating Ethnocentric Tantrums
News Desk Report
Yesterday afternoon, in Asamankese, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Addo-Danquah Akufo Addo repeated his ethnocentric effusions, tribalistic comments and preaching for violence, when he met the rank and file of his party, to discuss the issues governing the constituency’s selection of Parliamentary candidates for the 2012 elections.
From the Asamankese Presbyterian Church, yesterday February 10, in the fore noon, where the meeting took place, Mr. Akufo Addo repeated his call on all Akans to shrug off a so-called perception that they are weak by rising up to face off other tribes who intend to scare-off Akans.
"Some say we the Akans are soft and cowards. So in the face of a little threat, we run for cover. If that is the thinking, then we shall see.” he said. According to the NPP Flagbearer, God created everyman to have two things???and that no man has three of those things???hence the need for Akan men to rise up and show that they are truly brave men.
The NPP Flagbearer hit the headlines this week, when he was heard inciting his party supporters by using these tribal comments and clearly preaching violence, among others, during an address to party supporters in the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua, on Tuesday, February 9.
Referring to the wide condemnation that his tribal sentiments and anarchistic stands have attracted, Akufo Addo accused the NDC of fueling his condemnation and went ahead to re-emphasize his “All-Die-Be-Die” statement, by repeating it, three times.
He again made reference to the Atsiwa by-election which according to him, the NPP displayed just a little of the grand strategy that the party leadership intends to deploy, as strategy to combat the 2012 general elections. He stated: “At least during the Atiwa by-election, we showed a little of what we have in store.”
Getting more abrasive and boisterous, obviously as a result of the huge applause he got from the meeting, Mr. Akufo Addo promised that the same strategy is to be implemented everywhere, next year, and described it as the only way to ensuring the party’s victory.
Nana Akufo Addo called the bluff of those calling on him to apologize to the nation for his ‘Akan Jihad’ and hinted that such critics should expect more from him.
