From all indications it looks as if Mr Ben Ephson, the NDC Communications Chief has nothing more to write ,he has resorted to quoting verbatim from magazines and books to make ends meet. Obviously, the 3,000 dollars given to him by his paymasters is not enough.
In his latest cull, he quotes excerpts from the Africawatch Magazine, which granted an Interview to Osahene Major Boakye Djan, former spokesperson of the AFRC and member of Movement on National Affairs, a group that came out of the AFRC and existed between 1979 and 1982.
We respect Mr Boakye Djan and have agreed with him in the past on a number of issues , however we beg to disagree that Ex-President Kufuor will not and has not show any interest to support Nana Akufo Addo. Our loss at the last election was due to a host of factors. We are learning our lessons and we will work hard and come back stronger for 2012.
As for Nana Addo and party members leaving the party we can state clearly it is a figment of Mr Boakye Gyan’s imagination. Mr Kufuor and Nana Addo know that it is only a strong and united NPP that is capable of winning the next election. Nana Akufo Addo himself knows this and with Mr Kufuor and others are working work together to bring the smiles back on the faces of Ghanaians in 2012.
As for this Ewe/Asante dogma, we are disappointed that in this day and age, some of our leaders both past and present are still taking our hard worn democratic credentials for granted and playing the tribal card. If Mr Boakye Djan thinks there is some sort of tribal struggle what is he, as someone who has a hand causing some of the pain , troubles and the current struggles we are going through as a country ,doing to make sure we don’t encourage and tolerate tribalism? We would never incite, endorse and promote tribalism unlike Ben Ephson and others.
Seeking to drag the United Kingdom into our internal affairs by accusing them of helping NPP in 2000 is not only childish but desperate . The former High Commissioner Craig Murray and other diplomats insisted on the right thing being done and for dictatorship not to be fostered on the Ghanaian people. Britain has made its position of not supporting dictatorial regimes, and has supported countries all over the world to
build democratic institutions. In this same book, there is a page in which Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings embezzeled 30 million pounds from SSNIT funds. These monies belong to the workers of Ghana, why wouldn’t ben Ephson talk about it? It is intresting that so called socialists like Ben Ephson would seek to be representatives for the Economist Magazine of the UK as well as Tony Aidoo who studied law in the UK and even broke immigration laws, yet he was allowed to go scotfree!!! What a bunch of hypocrites! Why dont you go to Kazakstan or Russia and get a magazine contract or study law?
Ben Ephson has his work surely cut out, the last time we heard he was claiming he is a CPP member, We just could not stop laughing!! One thing we know for sure is that loyal, honest and committed Nkrumaists and will not sell their souls to paramilitary organisations for 30 pieces of silver.
