FEATURE: How Committed Is H.E. Isaac Osei To NPP & Subin?

Until his appointment as High Commissioner to St James’s Court, he was an unknown quantity in NPP, now His Excellency Isaac Osei is pushing his luck a bit too far with his burning ambition to become the next NPP Member of Parliament for the Subin Constituency in the Kumasi Metropolis.

I have the following questions for H.E. Isaac Osei:

¨ Was H.E. Osei a card-bearing and dues paying member of the NPP?

¨ When did he apply for his NPP membership card?

¨ As the UK’s envoy, how many times did he attend the NPP Executive/General Meetings in the UK?

¨ Was it not the same Isaac Osei, who on a republican day celebrations in the UK at Westminster on the 1st July 2004 and denounced Dr Danquah and the UP tradition for opposing Dr Nkrumah for advocating for the Republican status after independence?

¨ Can Isaac Osei deny his CPP roots or hobnobbing with his Achimota classmates in the NDC?

¨ During his tenure in the UK, did he not promote the Ghana Union (CPP & NDC adherents) to the detriment of UK NPP?

¨ Was it not Isaac Osei who proposed Nana Otuo Acheampong of Ghana Review fame and an NDC sympathiser the deputy Commissioner position at Internal Revenue to the detriment of a UK NPP branch executive member?

¨ Why is he not vying to become the next MP for Manhyia (born and bred there) or Asawase (his late father E.K. Osei, a CPP diehard is from Sepe Tinpom)?

¨ After all, what relationship does he have with Subin, he did not support the UK branch of our party when he was the envoy. Neither does he support the Subin Constituency as CEO of COCOBOD, or in his private capacity. Can we expect him to change only when he becomes MP?

As a true blue cadre of the NPP, one cannot sit idle to allow these political opportunists take over our party, a movement we have nurtured and sacrificed for. Our party in Subin await Baba Abdulai (Subin Chairman) and Ali Tanko (Subin Organiser), who have been meeting Isaac Osei surreptiously at his swanky COCOBOD Office, promising him the Subin seat and taking his money, whilst making empty promises to the delegates in Subin. The 2008 primaries will be about the true blue traditionalists of the Danquah/Busia movement (who Isaac Osei criticised publicly) taking over the mantle from the old soldiers who have fought a good fight.

Isaac Osei, kindly respond to the issues raised therein. If you are not that committed to the ideals of the “DOMO” tradition, expect the same fate that befell your predecessor at COCOBOD (Mr Kwame Sarpong) during the last NPP primaries at Kwadaso.
