It has been reported that Dr. Tony Aidoo, Head of the Policy and Monitoring Unit for President John Mahama is worried about Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom PPP flagbearer's challenge to other flagbearers to make a personal commitment to the crusade against corruption which he launched several weeks ago.
It is obvious that Tony Aidoo is now panicking not that he just heard this challenge; but that Ghanaians are supporting this crusade against corruption. He is worried that many have condemned President John Mahama's call for those calling him corrupt to report him to investigative agencies he presides over!
All Dr. Nduom has asked of all presidential candidates is - make public: their Tax Returns, Assets Declaration Documents and Sources of Campaign Funding.
The fact of the matter is that Dr. Nduom has not named ANYBODY as being corrupt. Is Tony Aidoo afraid of his own shadow? Is he nervous for President Mahama or any of his party men and women who their founder had described as corrupt or evil geniuses or is it Dwarfs?
If Dr. Nduom is a tax evader, should Tony Aidoo not jump and sing "Hallelujah"? If that were the case then this is the period that Tony Aidoo can easily wreck Dr Nduom’s political dream which is all about being realized. Has he forgotten that his NDC people took Dr. Nduom on during the vetting in Parliament in 2001 and lost rather disgracefully on the matter? When Parliament rules on a matter what happens, Tony Aidoo? We wish to state in no uncertain term that no amount of shouting propaganda will turn skin-pain lies into truth. We are all ready for Tony Aidoo and his cohorts. Tony Aidoo should be told in plain language that he cannot taunts the PPP and Dr Nduom with that discredited tax matter which genesis he knew very well was a masterful orchestration by his pay masters during the heady days of the PNDC where any successful man/woman whose wealth was not induced by the that Fascist regime was considered an enemy. We warned the late President Mills about this wind bag. It is this man whose tenure at the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) resulted in Vision 2020 that he could not monitor leading to the missing of all targets set for the first five years! It is this same man who recklessly pulled a gun on someone in broad daylight. So when he is worried that Ghanaians want competent incorruptible leadership, we understand.
It is NDC founder Mr. J. J. Rawlings who a few days warned President Mahama against "...evil dwarfs" who have surrounded him. A word to the wise is enough!
