General Sacut, thanks for such an in dept yet somewhat questionable or debatable summaries or allegations on the three personalities gunning for the chairmanship of our great party...but..but but...
But just because a person occupies a position doesn't mean they are the best for such position. I have heard both General Mosquito and Kwambena Adjei maintained that it was under their leadership or stewardship that the party won two elections therefore they must be doing something right or competent/successful at their respective jobs while in actuality they were not the engineers nor strategists of those victories...far from that.
There is so much that goes into a political party winning an election that it would be laughable to put it on shoulders of the chairman and general secretary of that party nor does the failure to win an election squarely lies on them...
For a party chairman that claims challenges to Ghana's economy are due to black magic leaves a lot to desire...amongst many other observations.
And a general secretary that invest so much in sabotaging and destroying the character of his deputies who upstage him by sheer wits is not one to be countenance.
Sometimes, they are saved by sympathy votes and the lack of more competent challengers...which doesn't necessary means that they are the best at what they do.
Regarding Mr Abodakpi, I am not sure whether he pleaded guilty but was part of a group that was charged for negligence (according to Sipa Yankey) for what seem like a politically motivated trial or a case of political persecution ...( not to say these guys were and are the cleanest of guys...but...it's worth saying)...
So just because a person has been to jail doesn't not make them unwholesome or unqualified to occupy a position. Lest we forget, Political prisoners have gone on to become presidents of their respective countries.
That is not to say Abodakpi is the man...I have met Abodakpi on several of occasions and I don't think he might have the best personality for such a position. But I don't think I know him to well to determine if he is the best for position...(same goes for Kofi Portuphy)
All in all, I just strongly believe that the current political climate of GHANA requires some young or experienced, selfless, passionate, dynamic, affable, and approachable, super intelligent and pragmatic, great personalities who can speak to move party and the masses at large, and are well respected for their views and thereby having tremendous influence on the affairs of the party and national issues...
It is just sad that for the fact that such a personality/personalities are no where near the forefront or some are not willing to make sacrifice (for whatever reasons), we would sadly have have to settle for what we get...
Anyways...I wish my party well...

Dear Mr Amenga-Etego
I back your words every well and I fully ascribe to the "audit" you have done on anyone trying to become NDC National Chairman.
Your words as below, have my fullest support. Only if Dr Kwabena Adjei opts not to contest, will I urge GENERAL MOSQUITOE to take over.
Thank you for these words, Amenga which I categorize into 3:
1). MR. DAN ABODAKPUI: In my books, the former trade minister lost his credibility entirely once he was convicted of criminal offenses by the fast track high court of Ghana and went on to serve time in jail. Though he was later pardoned by the former President Kufuor before leaving office, his conviction has taken away his integrity and credibility.
The NDC with so many quality people with impeccable reputations have no need to gamble on its own image by making such a man with such a questionable character a national chairman - unless the party wants an equalization campaign from the opposition NPP who are already paying the price for choosing a chairman alleged to be involved in illegal drug dealings.
Having eliminated Dan Abodakpui from my books, the other challenger comes to mind.
2). MR. KOFI PORTUPHY: Former and current national Cordinator of NADMO 'Mr. Pee' is on the rampage. There is every desperation in his attempts to annex the position of national chairman. It is even as if his entire life depends on it. I wonder what is chasing him!
In his personal profile, Mr. Pee names two of one organization he has worked for all his life - NADMO. He even claims that he single - handedly created NADMO and got an act of parliament to make the organization legal. Later, he mobilized the committee for the defense of the revolution (CDRs). Plus, he claims credit for receiving and resettling over 1.2 million Ghanaian returnees from Nigeria in 1983. Beyond these claims, Mr. Pee has no other experience until he became NDC vice chairman four years ago. I am wondering why with all the occupational years of mobilizing, that Mr. Pee will not rather run for national organizer rather than the all - wise and all - experienced position of national chairman?
It goes without saying that Mr. Kofi Portuphy is out of my books and should be out of the books of everyone with a conscience and a love for the NDC and Ghana.
3). DR. KWABENA ADJEI: There couldn't be a better qualified person than a man with a full understanding of the social psychology of our people as chairman of the ruling party to advise and devise strategy and analyze situation reports.
But besides his academic competence, Dr. Kwabena Adjei is even more politically astute. For example from 1978 Dr. Kwabena Adjei was elected council member, Jasikan district council. From 1979 - 81, he was already a parliamentary candidate for the popular front party. 1986, he became PNDC deputy secretary (Volta region).
In 1987, he became PNDC deputy secretary for industries, science and technology. In 1998, he became member of the committee of secretaries ( PNDC cabinet). From 93-96 he was a member of parliament (MP) Biakoye constituency. During this time, he became first deputy majority chief whip and later majority chief whip.
Between 1994 - 2000, Dr. Kwabena Adjei became deputy minister for lands and forestry, became minister for lands and forestry and then majority leader in parliament. From 1997 - 2000, he became cabinet minister for lands and forestry, cabinet minister for food and Agriculture, and majority leader in parliament.
Dr. Kwabena Adjei continued parliamentary work between 2001- 2005 when he became national chairman of the NDC whiles the party remained in opposition. He also became chairman of the GETFUND between 2009-2013. In 2009, he represented the NDC in socialists international meetings in Dakar Senegal, Vienna, Austria, and Budva, Montenegro.

The image of Mr. Portophy has been seriously dented, brutally bruised so severely that his failure to seek legal action against SaCut to redeemed his already battered image will suggest that he is a culpable criminal who should be made to smell his own stinky Trokosi Shit in JAIL instead of hanging on the public purse to make a living. SaCut has made several allegations which demand serious public interrogations and subsequently prepare a docket for the prosecution of Kofi Pee if he is found culpable. Our NADMO is in danger with a potential criminal like Portophy and the most disrespectful woman in the world, Togolese Trokosi Anita Desoso, being the prime managers of the same. Over to you Mahama.

NDC might as well appoint Abodakpi as chairman. After all Kwame Pepra and Ibrahim Adam, both ex convicts, were appointed Board Chairmen
