It is NPP week and the media space is abuzz with news about occurrences within the grouping as the countdown for the party’s Saturday internal polls continues.
It is unsurprising that the preferred stuff by the media and by extension Ghanaians are the eccentric stories. Who claimed somebody signed in his place on the peace pact document and who is threatening a showdown?
Questioning the contents of a pact at the eleventh hour even when same had been served the contestants earlier and deriding PhD holders in the race both make interesting headlines.
With Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in the race there is no dearth of such matters because he loves attention…for the wrong reasons.
The countenance of the contestants and their general posturing could not be left out.
Who smiled and who did not both found space in especially social media posts following the peace signing pact last week.
We wonder what the contestants will say when the results are announced on Saturday evening given the transparency exhibited so far in the pre-election process.
Those who want to rock the boat of the party should be showed the exit because democracy in this country should be rid of unnecessary and empty bravado.
Political parties and all institutions are governed by regulations which are enforced by the leaderships or assigns…as voluntary associations with a difference they are governed by the Political Laws of the country. Presidents and governments are birthed by political parties hence the existence of laws to regulate their activities.
No individual should consider themselves above a group or a political party for that matter.
At this stage names should be called who want their selfish interests to override those of the political party to which they all belong.
We have seen a quote attributed to Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in which he said that three PhD holders in the race signed the peace pact document without reading. This insult coming on the heels of his attack on the former Vice President is unfortunate and does not speak well of his integrity.
What is the quality of the alleged apology he rendered the former Vice President when he turns around once more to insult the integrity of the PhD holders in the race?
Unfortunately our impression and many Ghanaians’ about the source of this jibe is anything but positive.
Reliable information has it that the contents of the document signed by the contestants were known to them before they assembled to sign it. The document had been sent to them earlier or their representatives according to the Secretary of the Election Committee William Yamoah. To create the impression therefore that the PhD holders signed without reading the documents was another way of heaping insults on the image of his colleague contestants.
In any case what has PhD got to do with the signing of a peace pact document? What has Ken got against a PhD holders?
Let him also flaunt his Fordham University certificate and nobody would begrudge him.
