Nduom you got involved in politics to enrich yourself now you are singing a different song, lets watch it. One during president Kufuors term in office you were rewarded for playing the NPP game with ministerial positions and huge sums of money.
You worked with f. blay to destroy the CPP for your masters.
just after that you started expanding your business kingdom. why are you in politics? why is it that after every election you renovate your hotels and expand your business, have you accounted to your party people how much you spend on election 2012, who sponsored you during election 2012, how much did you received from your numerous oversea fund raising trips during election 2012?
please stop playing games, very soon all the documents will be out to expose stomach politicians

Why are politicians fighting for positions now with others being killed? There are some in government whose only job they have known since school is politics and they have amassed so much wealth through sealing. Is Nduom himself clean?

AFOKO SEEKS INJUNCTION AGAINST NPP

The embattled Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Paul Afoko, has commenced action in the Accra High Court to challenge his indefinite suspension from the position of Chairman of the Party.

The Writ titled Mr. Paul Afoko v. New Patriotic Party (Suit No.: GJ/23/2016) was issued on 27 October 2015 and is praying the court for a number of reliefs including a declaration that Mr. Afoko is still the Chairman of the NPP, a declaration that the meeting held on 23 October 2015 was null and void and of no effect, a declaration that due process was not followed in his purported suspension, a permanent injunction restraining the Party from holding any meetings of NEC or National Council without his presence, a permanent injunction restraining the First Vice Chairman, Mr. Fred Blay, from holding himself out as the Acting Chairman of the Party, etc.

On Friday, a National Executive Meeting was held and chaired by the Acting Chairman of the Party, Mr. Fred Blay. The said NEC meeting adopted the recommendation of the National Disciplinary Committee to suspend Mr. Afoko indefinitely. The suspension was to take effect immediately.

Mr. Afoko has since denied that he has been suspended and emphasizes that he is still at post. The NPP Chairman, however, has a right to appeal against the NEC decision within 21 days to the National Council, a right he is yet to exercise.

Many elders within the Party have spoken on Mr. Afoko's indefinite suspension including Mr. C. K. Tedam, a Founding Member and Chairman of the National Council of Elders and the Flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

In a statement released on Monday morning, Nana Akufo-Addo, who is currently outside the country, called on all members of the Party to respect NEC's decision, whilst, at the same time, encouraging Paul Afoko to use the structures of the party to seek redress, should he feel aggrieved by the decision of NEC.

It is expected that Mr. Blay will call his first Steering Committee meeting as Acting Chairman on Tuesday. However, the Scandal Newspaper is also reliably informed by undisputed sources that Mr. Afoko has instructed his lawyers to file an application for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the Party from holding any meeting in his absence.

In another development, the Scandal Newspaper has intercepted a letter dated 27 October 2015 signed by Mr. Afoko, congratulating Mr. Alhassan Ouattara for his recent victory in Côte d’Ivoire.

This move, according to close aides of Paul Afoko, is to send a signal to the rank and file of the NPP that he is not going to obey the orders of NEC. It may be argued that this move by Mr. Afoko is a further breach of the NPP's Constitution, an offence for which he was indefinitely suspended

CAN AFOKO DO FOKO?

I want someone to prove me wrong: that the NPP is being pursued by demons, and those ruthless "gbeshie" spirits are led by Belzibub himself, and they come in camboo shoes so leaders and members of the party do not perceive ominous signals.
Somebody should tell me that I'm lying!

Hehehehe, as soon as I saw "rise" in Nana Akufo-Addo's tour theme, I knew it was going to be followed by a "fall". The other day, a friend of mine was referring to Nana's "Rise and Build" tour as R&B (Rice and Beans) tour. I love the malapropism here, and this reminds me of the late Ghanaian actress, Araba Stamp who was popular for his malapropism, "fried rice and kitchen."

Please wait a minute: Agyeeeeei, I saw some interesting scriptures today. Proverbs 20:30 "Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being." Proverbs 18:6 "The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating."
Oops! Who just wrote on my screen, LMVCA? I have told you people I don't want trouble oo. Please desist from putting words in my mouth. I never mentioned any name please!

And it happened that Nana's Rice and Bea... eiii, sorry, Rise and Build tour has ended up in a Rise and Fall tour. Why am I saying this? The NPP's woes have deepened after his tour. Chairman Paul Afoko has been suspended indefinitely by the National Executive Committee of the party. There was a display of all-die-be-die antics during the meeting, and the party’s private security, the Invisible Forces burnt a motorbike and destroyed the windscreen of a taxi cab.

Many party activists are angry as a result. An NPP "militant" group Bolgatanga Bull Dogs (BBD) in a press release has threatened to scuttle the electoral fortunes of the NPP in 2016 because of the suspension of their National Chairman.

What even makes the issue more serious is that some party Stalwarts have started baring their teeth, and Andrew Awuni, a former Press Secretary to former President Kufour is one of them. He spoke on Neat FM some hours after the suspension. Hear him:

"Between the last two elections, an amount of over 100 million dollars has been disbursed into the party's coffers.Where did all this money go? Adakabre, what is going on is all about the control of the party's finances and useless worshipping of a human being. Recently, 3 million Ghana Cedis was released to the party. Kwabena gave each constituency an amount of GHC10,000. This flared up emotions because the money was not released to the executives to spend lavishly. Subsequently another 45 million Ghana Cedis was released which landed on the laps of Abankwa, then the battle began. So aren't they seeing what Mahama is doing? Making the NDC so attractive today!" Tankweeew, Mr. Awuni, I'm glad you have also seen the magic of the young man from Bole.

That notwithstanding, the near octogenarian flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo seems to be saying Tweeaa to those livid activists by endorsing the suspension. He confirmed in a statement: "I have been apprised of the decision taken by the National Council of our great party to suspend Mr. Paul Afoko.

Having satisfied myself that due process was rigorously followed in arriving at this decision, I welcome and fully endorse it."

But more worrying is the beleaguered chairman's statement that he is still at post.

In a show of defiance, Mr. Paul Afoko, in a press statement said that his purported suspension is unconstitutional, and therefore, the decision taken by the NEC is null and void; so, he is still the National Chairman. The question many are asking is that can Afoko do foko? My answer is that time will tell. Let the music in the camp of the Elephant Family keep playing on. Kikikikikiki, enjoy Lionel Richie's "All night long."

Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
(Play on, play on)

Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)

Politics has made all those engaged in it rich include Nduom himself.
When you came back from the US, be honest with Ghanaians, were you this rich?
You can argue all you want about your business interests but you are not the only one with business interests. Why are the other business people not this rich?
Because you used your political influence to acquire state resource and facilitate your business transactions.

WHY KEEP ON ADVISING THE YOUTH NOT TO VENTURE GOING INTO POLITICS.

THEY KNOW,YOU ACQUIRED YOUR ILLEGAL BOOTY BY JOING KUFFOUR AND HIS CRIMINAL ORGANISATION, THE NPP, TO DUBE THE NATION.

WHY NOT IT IS A LUCRATIVE PROFESSION.

IT IS INDEED WRONG FOR YOU TO ADVISE THEM NOT TO GO INTO POLITICS.

LET THEM ALSO TRY TO BECOME POLITICIANS AND TO MANIPULATE, EMBEZZLE AND STEAL FROM THE EMPTY COFFERS OF GHANA TO BUILD THEIR FORTUNE IN GHANA.

WHEN EDUCATED PEOPLE WITH BIG DEGREE TITLES ARE NOT IN THE POSITION TO INNOVATE, DISCOVER AND INVENT, THE LAST RESORT FOR THEM IS TO DO POLITICS FOR EASY MONEY.

ARE YOU THERE, MR POLITICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN, DO NOT THRY TO INSULT THEIR INTELLIGENCE.
