Here we go again! The usual vilification of the Asante camp/Kumasi Boys within the NPP. Sure, Nana Akufo-Addo, the current leader of the NPP, has a hand in the infighting at the heart of the NPP.
Nana Akufo-Addo knows all about the genesis of the factionalism within the NPP as he particularly and staunchly supported his uncle, William Ofori-Atta in forming the break away UNC party. Nana Akufo-Addo and his uncle, William Ofori-Atta [Paa Willie] betrayed the values, principles and ideals of the UP tradition and Victor Owusu by joining forces with Dr Hilla Liman. Nana Akufo-Addo and his uncle William Ofori-Atta actively opposed and campaigned against Victor Owusu. This led to the electoral defeat of Victor Owusu's PFP in 1979.
Nana Akufo-Addo is tainted by the factionalism of the past. Today, as leader of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo's leadership style and his hand in the internal politics of the NPP must not be overlooked.

Akans have deep thought of their intended actions whether it would serve their long term interest and that of their family, or group or friends before they act, but he does not see far because of his selfish and paroqual interst. I'm saddened by his actions and inactions that is tearing a party I sacrificed my life, my education and my widow's mince for. I can't believe somebody I once cherished as a fine presidential material could be that short sighted like that. I pray he sees where he's pushing the party towards and make amends. God help him see wisdom and work for the total unity of NPP.

Louis, it's true Mr J.A. Kufour served as Secretary for Local Government under Jerry John Rawlings in 1981, albeit he resigned less than a year.
What you should understand is that Kufour and Akufo-Addo's cases are not strikingly similar. Whatever temptation, opportunism and reason for serving under Rawlings' PNDC, Kufour unlike Akufo-Addo, didn't defect or joined forces to openly campaign against a mainstream party of the UP tradition.

BUT , I NEED TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO YOU THAT, PROF ADU BOAHEN WAS NOT AN AKYEM AND THAT AKYEMS ARE NOT PATERNAL INHERITAGE, NEITHER ASANTES. IN ANY CASE CAN OKOAMPAH EXPLAIN TO THE WHOLE WORLD WHY AND HOW ADU BOAHEN WAS NOT BURIED AT OSIEM BUT RATHER ASANTE JUABEN? OR IS HE NOT AWARE OF THE FACT THAT ADU BOAHEN WAS AN ASANTE BORN AND BRED, AND THAT HIS FUNERAL WAS HELD AND CELEBRATED BY HIS ASANTE FAMILY AT ASANTE JUABEN BUT NOT HIS FATHER'S FAMILY IN OSIEM. THE LIES AND MISINFORMATION MUST STOP!!!

Nana Akuffo - Addo is the cause of all the internal wranglings facing NPP. Instead of him to unite the party and win power, he is rather interested in him been worship like a king and also allowing him and his cronies and family to steal from the party.
Nana Addo and his cronies have blame everyone for his monumental failures. We have blamed Kufour, Alan, Otumfoo, Afari-Djan, Atuguba, Arthur K, Tamakloe and everyone except the man whose face appeared on the ballot paper Nana Addo.
A great party like NPP should have sat down analyse why we lost 2008 election and the easy one 2012 due to the death of Prof Mills , yet we were defeated by NDC with just three months campaign by President Mahama.
Till now, we still have some fools in the party who still think that we won 2012 elections. We suggestion to those people are to collate the own constituency result and compare with what was declared by the EC.
NDC has failed Ghanaians with their Better Ghana Agenda which has crippled all social intervention programs initiated during 2001 to 2008.
But who can stop NDC winning 2016 elections? You know, I know and God knows that, Nana Addo cannot defeat President Mahama with his style of leadership or sorry to say lack of leadership skills and also surrounding himself with thieves and vultures like Freddie Blay whose only interest in politics and NPP is to steal from the party coffers.
Nana Addo autocratic style of leadership is alien to NPP and if we want to win this year election is for him to instruct his family members and boggos groups like LM V C to respect the EC, go all out and campaign with positive messages and alternative policies that will improve the living standards of Ghanaians instead of staying in Accra and making the party unattractive to floating voters.
It is not too late for Nana to show a little of leadership by letting his "controlled" council of elders and the National Executive's to reinstate all the suspended executive and unite the party for the elections or else he should say goodbye to his childhood dream of becoming president of Ghana
Long live NPP

Anane, Mpiani, Afoko, Nyaho Tamakloe, Arthur Kennedy, are not a sub-ethnic group. They are individuals struggling with not being in control of the party.

No one is more disingenuous than you and your ungrateful, bigoted Uncle, Akufo-Addo. So, if you are now coming back to your senses to denounce such factionalism in the NPP, slice a big chunk of that blame for yourself and Akufo-Addo, and stop claiming the moral higher ground that you do not deserve.
You are the prime architect of the notion of factional 'Political Mafioso' in the NPP. Not long ago, you were all over the place insulting former President Kufuor, Alan Kyeremateng, Kwabena Agyepong and Mpiani among others, tagging them as belonging to some 'Atwima Mafia' faction of the NPP. Below is an excerpt from your Article of December 14, 2015, to prove your hypocrisy, captioned "Whose Sycophant Is Sammy Crabbe, Anyway?":
" It was incontrovertibly clear that Mr. Crabbe was a bona fide lieutenant, or foot-soldier, of the Kufuor-Kyerematen faction of the New Patriotic Party. That faction, of course, also goes by the sobriquet of the Atwima Mafia"
How dare you are insinuating that Dr. Anane is an epitome of those perpetuating that factionalism and not you are not? You should be ashamed of yourself!
