Central Region, the home region of Prof Mills, and believed to have been his Achilles heel in 2000 and 2004, for which the region got a lot of flack from other parts of the country, has decided to enter the 2008 elections with the “adzi wor fie o ye” saying boldly etched on their minds.
The desire of the region to not believe in the vile propaganda of the NPP and make the mistake that it made in 2000 and 2004 is written not only on the faces of the supporters of the NDC but also on the faces of some disappointed NPP supporters as well as neutrals who believe that they can’t afford to make a laughing stock of themselves for the third time.
In a bid to also have the name of their region boldly embossed on the list of presidents of this nation, The Ghanaian Lens has been informed that the chiefs and opinion leaders in the region are not prepared to pander to any agenda aimed at scuttling the chances of the man who has come to be known as Asomdwehene in Ghanaian politics.
Speaking to this paper, Kwame Arhin, an activist of the NDC in Cape Coast said that he has heard from some chiefs and opinion leaders how the DFP has been approaching them with cash and drinks for them to work against Prof Mills.
According to Mr. Arhin, the chiefs, who are relatives of his, told him how Obed Asamoah has been sending emissaries to them and asking them to help the DFP work against the NDC in general and Prof Mills in particular and how the chiefs say they have rebuffed the DFP and told them to go away with their evil plans.
Indeed, it is not a secret that the DFP has been trying very hard to woo Mr. Vallis Akyianu, the Central Regional Chairman of the NDC to no avail as the former boss of the Fire Service has vowed to not only stay committed to the NDC but more importantly, work for the region to become the alternate world bank of the NDC.
Vallis Akyianu, the man who is remembered very much for restructuring the Ghana Fire Service during the period of the NDC is very much focused on making sure that the name of the Central Region stands tall in the annals of Ghana’s political history just as he made the name of the Ghana Fire Service stand tall until the NPP came to destroy it.
Throwing more light on the resilience of the chiefs and opinion leaders whom the DFP is wasting its time wooing, the NDC activist mentioned the name of Faustina Nelson as a key Obed Asamaoh operative who is in the forefront of delivering the Central Region to the DFP.
Mr. Arhin told The Ghanaian Lens that the chiefs he spoke to claim that Faustina Nelson told them that Obed and the DFP want the professor to lose again because Mills did not make Obed his running mate in 2000 for which reason Obed has vowed that as long as he lives he would do anything and everything to make sure that Prof Mills never becomes president.
Finding the reasons for which Obed Asamoah’s DFP is gallivanting in the region working against a son of their soil so unsound, the chiefs, according to Kwame Arhin, have told Faustina Nelson and the DFP to leave the region with their evil message since there is no way anything would be done to kill the chances of Prof Mills.
“The chiefs respect the right of the DFP to operate in the region but they have vowed never to be a part of any plan either by the DFP or any other party to work against Prof Mills. Adze wor fie o ye, and the chiefs and opinion leaders would do nothing to affect the chances of Prof Mills becoming president of Ghana” Said Kwame Arhin.
The Ghanaian Lens has not independently confirmed these.
But The Ghanaian Lens can confirm that Obed Asamoah’s DFP is a party that is only focused on destroying the chances of the NDC regaining power.
