Otchere Darko, the nephew of the New patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer and the
Danquah Institute (DI) driver whom out of embarrassment after subjecting a
shy-looking Minister of State into an insulting spree told the Ghanaian public
that he was no longer going to participate in politics, only lied flatly.
As the elections are around the corner
and severe defeat staring at his party once again, he has bounced back with his
diabolical activities to play down the ruling NDC party and to project his
tainted flagbearer of the NPP. Believe it or not, the DI Boss is now an
election Pollster.
Remember barely a year back, Ghana’s renowned
pollster, Ben Ephson Jnr., confessed to wikileaks that the evil-minded Nephew
of Akufo-Addo had attempted to bribe him with money to cook up polls to favour
the NPP lost presidential candidate in the 2008 general elections.
Our intelligence have now pick up
laughable reports from credible sources around the man called Gabby Otchere
Darko, that he has finally turn himself to an election pollster with other
seven (7) NPP communication team members to do the job Ben Ephson turndown in 2008
to protect his hard earned reputation.
Among of his members, according to the
report, who are doing all it takes to promote their flagbearer who is reported
to have incurred the wrath of former president Kufuor, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten,
his former contender and other top NPP gurus include Nana Akomea, Sammy Awuku,
John Abu Jinapor, Anthony Karbo, the low thinking propagandists of the NPP.
“It is one of the key goals set aside by
Gabby and his cohorts to cause confusion in the minds of the Ghanaian
electorate that Akufo-Addo, despite the allegations of drugs consumer and other
shameful things that are over the years being albatross around the neck of the
flagbearer; he still has the chance of securing more votes and becoming the
President of Ghana.
“In a personal chat with Gabby, he said
he is bent on doing anything to project his Uncle to break through the oars of
the numerous accusations against the persona of the NPP flagbearer and his
unappealing nature to taste political power before he retires his politics of
desperado. He also lamented the manner in which Ben Ephson disgraced him when
he attempted to bribe him during the 2008 presidential elections to turn the
polls in favour of Akufo-Addo”, the Nephew to NPP flagbearer close associate
told the Crystal Clear Lens exclusively.
On last Friday, 21 June 23, 2012 Gabby
and his team decided to test the public with their cooked up polls and tagged
it Ben Ephson’s name which had President
John Evans Atta Mills trailing flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
Nana Akufo-Addo, by more than 5% of respondents sampled.
His New Statesman newspaper which is
being sponsored by his Uncle published a palpable falsehood that the ruling
party, NDC commissioned Mr. Ephson to conduct an “independent” opinion poll in
April on the chances of President Mills ahead of the 2012 election which have
met a public outcry.
According to the publication, Ben
Ephson’s poll, killed the morale of the top functionaries of the NDC as the
results made for grim reading. The newspaper claimed results of Ben Ephson’s
poll indicated that Nana Addo obtained 50.05%., whiles President Mills received
44.40%.
"The regional breakdown of Ben
Ephson’s polls is as follows: Ashanti-79.8% for Nana Akufo-Addo, 19.1% for
Mills; Brong Ahafo - 55 .7% for Nana, 40.4% for Mills; Central Region – Nana
Addo, 59.8, with 39.4 for Mills; Eastern - 68.9% for Nana Addo, 31.4% for
Mills; Greater Accra -48.2% for Nana Addo, 46.9% for Mills; Northern - 51.3%
for Nana Addo, 44.5% for Mills; Upper East - 39.8% for Nana Addo, 60.1% for
Mills; Upper West - 40.4% for Nana Addo, 52.1% for Mills; Volta - 18.9% for
Nana Addo, 74.9% for Mills; Western - 52.8% for Nana Addo, 41.5% for
Mills," the newspaper reported.
But Mr. Ephson, who is also the
Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper, in a sharp reaction to the
fallacy to protect his integrity told the NPP and brainmasters of the fake
polls that the act was disgraceful and they were only tickling themselves to
laugh off the severe defeat staring at their face ahead of the December
elections.
According to him, he always makes public
the findings of every survey he conducts, and thus described the report as
baseless and unmeritorious. He urged the NPP to continue tickling themselves as
they did prior to the 2008 general elections.
"It is never true that I’ve
conducted any such polls...They (NPP) should go ahead and lie to
themselves...These are some of the things they did to Akufo-Addo in 2008 making
him believe the election was a done deal...in the long run...the party was
defeated...listen, if your mum is dead and you lie about it that she is fast
asleep, after three days the stench from the decomposed body will show that you
lied," Ben Ephson proverbially said.
