NPP activist rubbishes president Mills’ re-election as flagbearer

The Brong-Ahafo regional Coordinator of the All Die Be Die Club, Mr. Kwame Baffoe, has rubbished president Mills’ reelection as flagbearer of the NDC, saying even if the heavens come down, the NPP would defeat the NDC in the 2012 general elections.

Assigning reasons for his assertion, the Mr. Baffoe, affectionately called Abronye DC, said the NDC is the most corrupt government ever in the history of Ghana and that the good people of Ghana would certainly vote the party out in the 2012 general elections.

The All Die Be Die Coordinator was sharing his thoughts with Space FM’s Francis Owusu-Ansah on the just ended delegates congress of the NDC which saw president Mills defeating former first lady Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings at the Sunyani Coronation Park.

Kwame Baffoe said during the 2008 campaign, then candidate Mills described the NPP as a corrupt government but with just two years in office, there have been instances which rubbish the president’s claim that he is fighting corruption.

He mentioned the issues involving the former sports minister, Alhaji Muntaka and presidential staffer, Stan Dogbe as classical examples of Mills’ failure in fighting corruption.

Again Mr. Baffoe pointed out that in just two years, most of the president’s appointees have built mansions they ordinarily could not have built even in ten years.

He noted that high unemployment, near collapse of National Health Insurance Scheme, the failure to extend the school feeding programme, high cost of fuel, rising armed robbery, the killing of a pregnant woman by the BNI are some of the issues Ghanaians would use as yardsticks in judging the NDC before voting in the 2012 general elections.

Kwame Baffoe reminded president Mills that he has procured victory from the NDC delegates who were intimidated, threatened and bribed but he cannot do so in the 2012 general elections.
