Former DCE Exposed

Wonders will never end! One of the characters who

came to the defence yesterday of the beleaguered NPP flag-bearer, Nana Akufo

Addo, after revelations that he cannot boast of a single developmental

project in the Abuakwa constituency where he was MP for 12 years is none other

than Victor Esihene.

Mr. Esihene was the District Chief Executive of the

East Akyem District in which the Abuakwa Constituency (North & South) lies.

ON Asempa FM yesterday moments after an NPP activist,

Wahab Amadu, had taken Akufo-Addo to the

cleaners, exposing how he let the Abuakwa state down by failing to initiate

even one developemental project, Victor Esihene came to the defence of his

party’s flag-bearer.

Putting up a strong defence for Akufo Addo, he

claimed the NPP flag-bearer has numerous projects in the constituency to his

credit and called Wahab’s claims a pack of lies.

However, down memory lane, Daily Post has been told

that Mr. Esihene, in the run up to the 2007 Primaries of the NPP was the

Campaign Managers for Akufo-Addo’s rival, Alan Kyeremanteng, in the Akyem

district.

At a meeting with 147 Abuakwa North delegates of the

NPP at the Tafo Cocoa Research Recreational Centre, Mr. Esihene told the delegates

that though he was

from Abuakwa just as Akufo-Addo, he had chosen to campaign for Alan Kyeremateng

because Akufo-Addo was a failure as far as developmental projects in the

Abuakwa constituencies are concerned.

Mr. Asihene also told the delegates that their

colleagues from Kyebi, Akufo Addo’s hometown, have also decided to vote for

Alan Kyermateng because Akufo Addo was a failure, does not have what it takes

to help the Abuakwa constituencies and cannot point to a single project as one

he initiated.

After his speech in which he called on the 147

delegates to vote for Alan Kyeremateng, he distributed GH¢20 each to them.

Interestingly, the man who refused to support Akufo

Addo saying he was a failure as an MP and cannot deliver was the same man

defending him on Asempa FM yesterday saying he has numerous projects in Abuakwa

to his credit! Politics! Politicians!

Meanwhile, a leading NPP activist in the Abuakwa

state, Atta Boateng, says as DCE, Mr. Asihene himself was a flop who

short-changed the people by failing to help develop his district, the reason

why many NPP activists in Abuakwa have decided to vote for President Mahama in

the elections this December.
