Ghanaians Reject NPP Position On La Cote D'ivoire!

Feature Article, by Nana Akyea Mensah, The Odikro.

A record has been set in the comments section of Myjoyonline.com, where the

first seven comments spontaneously and unanimous voted down the NPP reaction

to the path of quiet diplomacy being pursued by President Atta-Mills.

Earlier on the NPP has been calling on the President to recognize Alhassan

Ouatarra, whose political party is a member of the Democratic Union of

Africa, of which the NPP is currently holding its presidency, and they were

supporting Ouatarra even before the elections.

After remaining silent and vigorously hiding from the press, Akufo-Addo

feels confident to end the highly suspicious silence only to misfire! This

is the first time I have seen in any Ghanaian forum where the first seven

comments are so damning! It is amazing!

The Comments under "Mills’ flippant stance on Ivory Coast a betrayal – Nana

Addo " following a news item in which:

"The flag-bearer of the opposition NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo, says the legendary

inconsistency of the government, particularly President J.E.A. Mills on the

Ivory Coast situation, had a dangerous potential to hurt Ghana’s standing

internationally," received the following record reaction. I call them "The

Big Seven":

at them. Ah these people paaa.

There is this adage in Ga that goes like "that which is not covered, no

housefly perches on it". Those of you whose Korle goes into the sea know

what I mean. I don't expect Jake Obetsebi Lamptey to understand.

NPP thinks Ouattara can give them money for their electioneering campaign so

they are trying so hard to secure the presidency for Ouattara. Take your

bags and go over there and fight.

The French are right there in Ivory Coast. Is our army well equipped than

that of the French? It took just a twinkle of an eye for the French army to

obliterate the Ivorian air force. What are they waiting for? Ok

you are consistent!! Posted By: Joe , 1/20/2011 1:58:11 PM Location:

Germany It is unfortunate that NPP is trying to create a big problem for

Ghana.When Kenya had similar situation what did u do? Please dont try to sow

a seed of confusion and antagonism between the two nations.What u are

hurriedly doing has the propensity of making Ghana to be seen as an enemy of

Outtara for that his supporters and in the event that Outtara finally

assumes the reigns of government he will do everything possible to hurt

Ghana government.

President Mills did not contradict himself.Where is the contradiction? I

will not contribute troops or we should use diplomacy to resolve the issue ?

Please if u want to rule Ghana one day which I know it will never happen,

you ought to be careful with your utterances.Some of us are becoming

incensed with the garbage that u spew out all the time. WHAT DID U

DO WHEN UR OWN BROTHERS WERE KILLED IN GAMBIA, NANA??? Posted By: Jones,

TEMA , 1/20/2011 2:03:50 PM Location: NPP IS NOW SOOO BORING!!!
