The Trust newspaper has gathered the ruling National Democratic Party (NDC) in the Ashanti region particularly is currently sitting on a time bomb as anger has filled the Party's communications outfit as well as the foot soldiers of the party whiles the leaders especially in the region are accused of living in their comfort with just three months to the general elections slated for 7th December, 2016.
It would be recalled that, about
two weeks ago this paper published the regional women’s organizer of the Party,
Hajia Saddick accusing the regional chairman, Mr.Yoa Obimpeh, Regional
Secretary, Raymond Tandoh and the Regional Organizer, Alhaji Dannie Jnr
especially for sabotaging her and President Mahama bid for a second term.
As if that was not enough, a
member of the Regional Communications team who is also a member of Community
Committee member,Bobobee fired another salvo our accusing the leadership of the
party in the region for busily chasing women and involved in alcoholism.
This paper gathered that, when
the top hierarchy of the party started planning to meet to suspend Mr.Bobobee
the regional Communications officer himself
Samed Akalilu jumped to the
defence of his communicator and went up to blame the regional Secretary of the
Party,Raymond Tandoh and others for
rendering the communications outfit ineffective.
As the communication team to
continue to battle the regional executives sabotaging their activities, the
concerned supporters of Bosomtwe constituency have locked up the party’s
constituency office over the failure to reinstate the suspended constituency
chairman who was suspended about a year.
Meanwhile, the regional secretary
of the Party, Mr.Raymond Tandoh has called for calm by the rank and file of the
party.
Ashanti Regional
Communications Director for the ruling National Democratic Congress has
described the party’s Ashanti Regional Secretary as “skillfully
impotent”.According to Samed Akalilu, the Regional Secretary, Raymond Tandoh
has rendered the communications outfit of the party virtually ineffective due
to lack of resources.Akalilu laments, “a brand new pick-up truck has been given
to the party for official work and the regional secretary has hijacked the
vehicle and parked it at home even though he doesn’t use it.”Samed Akalilu was
responding to assertions that communications team members of the NDC have been
complaining of joblessness and neglect by the party hierarchy.For instance, a
leading member of the communications team on August 29, 2016 accused the
party’s leadership of only interested in chasing girls and drinking alcoholic
beverage instead of concentrating on the
job for which they were elected.Godwin Boboobe further revealed that 90% of the
party’s communicators are jobless while leadership of the party are busy
chasing wealth.But Samed Akalilu says though Godwin has apologized for the
unfortunate remarks, he spoke out of frustrations.Samed Akalilu in an interview
with host ofAbusua Nkomo, Kwame Adinkrah on Abusua
96.5 said the problems should be blamed on the party’s regional
secretary.“Kwame, we are suffering as a communications team because we have a
skillfully impotent regional secretary,” he said.“The regional secretary has
hijacked a brand new party pick-up, he doesn’t use it because he feels too big
to drive a pick-up as compared to the pool of luxurious vehicles he drives,”
Akalilu added.“I don’t understand why the regional secretary is not using the
pick-up truck neither will he release it to the communications team.”“I am not
saying he should give the car to me for my personal use, but at least the
vehicle will facilitate transportation of our communicators to radio stations
in service of the party”, he added.Samed Akalilu insists, “Raymond Tandoh
should come and tell us what he is keeping the pick-up truck for. Because he is
not using it as I said earlier. As secretary, he is the Chief Executive Officer
of the party and it is his responsibility to ensure all organs of the party are
functioning well.”
