? Has not been able to fulfill any of his electoral promises he made before the 2002 Congress
? (I) To resource the Party from branch, ward to constituency level.
? (II) To strengthen Party structures throughout the country.
? (III) Strengthen the Party?s HQRS: Party HQRS in arrears of rent It was Prof. who had to pay $10,000.00 at a time to avoid ejection; Prof continues to intervene to avoid ejection.
? (IV) Salaries of Staff in the office during the elections were overdue several times and Prof. had to intervene on many occasions.
? (V) Electricity Bills outstanding; Power cut from ECG; Prof. had to intervene
? (VI) Telephone and fax lines cut during the heat of the campaign Prof. had to intervene.
? (VII) Sabotaged Prof?s Campaign in 2000, 2004 Tens of Thousands of yr 2000 campaign posters were still in his house during the 2004 elections. When asked why he kept them, he said they were meant for the victory celebrations; How absurd.
? Told several people including foreign researchers and journalists and particularly some M.P?s to concentrate on the Parliamentary elections rather than the Presidential elections.
? (VIII) Displayed a lackadaisical and non-chalant attitude towards the whole 2004 Campaign. Apart from Kadjebi, Takoradi and the main rallies in Accra i.e. Hearts Park and Manste Agboenaa, his impact on the campaign was negligible.
? (IX) Still Dislikes Prof. and Founder intensely and is doing everything possible to undermine them.
? (X) Has proven that he is not a true democrat, and will always want to impose his will on the Party
? (a) When the masses/delegates exercised their democratic choice by electing Prof. Mills as their Candidate in 2004, he persisted in opposing him both subtly and directly
? (b) He is still bent on imposing a Presidential Candidate of his choice on the party; Either he has his way or the Party collapses, This cannot be right.
? (c) Conducts functional Executive?s meetings in an arrogant and dictatorial manner
? (XI) Hardly criticizes the N.P.P.
? (a) Can you count the number of times, he as Chairman has come out clearly and forcefully to speak out against the NPP on critical national issues since 2001; Not more than 10 times; compare this performance to the Ala Adjetey?s, Odoi Skyes, Haruna Essekuis and even Delle of C.P.P.
? (b) Rather receives praises from N.P.P. Senial Callers and Sympathisers. Eg: Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe; I. K. Kwarteng (Ghanaian Chronicle Tuesday, 7th October, 2005 (Taflaste) Is there any hidden agenda we do not know about.
? (c) Most Pro ? N.P.P. Papers which are miraculously anti NDC, anti J.J and anti Prof. Papers tend to support Obed, why? E.g. Daily Guide, Crusading Guide, Independent.
? (XII) Ladies and Gentlemen at this critical period in the political history of Ghana, the NDC needs/requires a Chairman who has the ff: qualities:
? (i) Is prepared to work with the founder and Prof. Mills (whether Prof. Mills becomes flag bearer again or not is not the issue, he wields enormous influence and has a large following in the party, and so does the FOUNDER, who is loved by the masses and who contributes tremendously to our votes.
? Can you imagine an NDC without J. J. Rawlings
? (A Chairman who does not like nor respects the Founder, the flag bearer and the Council of Elders cannot help us secure victory in 2008)
? (II) Is prepared to accept the democratic choice and will of the people during Congress. Whether Prof. Mills or whoever.
? (III) Has the network and capacity to solicit for resources locally and internationally and to use such resources in the interest of the Party. ? (IV) Is humble, diplomatic and approachable.
ANYBODY with these qualities will serve the interests of the NDC in seeking to regain power from the NPP.
JOIN THE ABO ? ANYBODY BUT OBED campaign to ensure a united, stable, focused and battle ready NDC poised to capture power in 2008. Spread the word.
