President Mills for 2012 – Yaw Gyan

The National organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Yaw Gyan says
the ’good’ performance of President Mills less than two years in government is
an indication that he can change Ghana for the better if he is given the chance
to rule for eight years.
He said ‘’I endorse him for 2012, why shouldn’t I endorse him. He is one person
I have worked with for a long time and I will continue to work for him, because
he has very god morals and the way he is performing I don’t think I can accuse
him of anything’’. Yaw Gyan said.
In an interview with Radio Gold in Accra, on his reaction to Mr. Obed Yaw
Asamaoh statement on a local Radio station in Accra to the effect that the vice
chairperson of the NDC Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings will be a better President
than President Mills, the National organiser of the party said, ‘’this is a man
who said over his dead body that Professor Mills will be President of Ghana and
now that he is President Obed has the guts to say Nana Konadu will be a better
President, what double standards’’

He said Obed Asamoah holds these opinions to himself adding that Obeds confusion
and hatred for President Mills was as a result of Professor Mills,s ‘wise
judgement’ not to choose him as his running mate ‘’and for these reasons HE had
not liked him thus the slightest opportunity Obed wants to make uncomplimentary
remarks about the President’’
On whether Obeds statement holds water or not, Yaw Gyan stated that he does not
see it that way at all. He explained that there are vast differences between
Nana Konadu and President Mills and the way Mills is performing today, present
the two candidates though they are all members of ‘my party’ and you will see
the difference.

‘’Obed has no business talking about the NDC’’ Yaw Gyan fumed.
When quizzed about the developments in the NDC and whether it has the capacity
to divided the NDC front or not, Yaw Gyan said ‘’ we are one big family who
disagree and agree over issues and this people call it factions? I don’t see any
factions or divisions within the NDC’’ He noted.
The National organiser of the NDC assured al who wish the NDC dead before 2012
to fasten their seat belts. He added that ‘’ come 2012 people will se how strong
and United we are’’
