In a direct response to a statement released by executives of the
National Democratic Congress in the Komenda Edina Eguafo-Abirem
Constituency to condemn Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom’s criticism of President
Mahama, executives of the Progressive People Party, have jumped to the
defense of their flagbearer in a strongly worded statement.
NDC executives of KEEA in the Central Region took issues with Dr.
Nduom’s Facebook post that disagreed with President Mahama’s suggestions
that leaders are appointed by God.
According to the NDC executives, Dr. Nduom’s comment suggested he is envious of President Mahama’s status.
But in a show of support for their Flagbearer, PPP executives in the
KEEA constituency say Dr. Nduom spoke the truth when he cautioned
politicians including President Mahama not to use the name of God in
vain and not to be false witnesses.
The PPP executives of KEEA say the decision by Ghanaians to vote for
John Dramani Mahama to become President cannot be placed at the doorstep
of God.
“It was human error of the worst kind, one that must not be repeated.
This is one of the clueless governments that has ever ruled Ghana. The
entire country is in distress. ”
The party is thus cautioning the NDC in the KEEA constituency to have
the fear of God and respect Dr. Nduom who they describe as someone who
has an international reputation and whose credibility transcends
partisan political and ethnic lines.
Below is the full statement from the PPP KEEA
We the executives of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) in the KEEA
are shocked that anyone from our municipality would go into the public
arena to attempt to throw mud at Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom. Dr. Nduom is a
KEEA statesman with an international reputation whose credibility
transcends partisan political and ethnic lines.
As an entrepreneur, his contribution to creating jobs for the youth in
KEEA and all over the country has been immense. So for NDC Executives to
consider this man who has served his nation with distinction to be
envious of anyone is disingenuous. We are certain that judging from the
negative reactions pouring in from all over the world to their misjudged
attempt at mudslinging, they must be ashamed of themselves.
For all that this kind-hearted man has done for KEEA, the NDC Executives
have shown themselves to be an ungrateful lot. Politics is not
everything.
Dr. Nduom spoke the truth when he cautioned politicians including
President Mahama not to use the name of God in vain and not to be false
witnesses. Indeed, the mistake Ghanaian voters made in voting for John
Dramani Mahama to become President cannot be placed at the doorstep of
our Lord God. It was human error of the worst kind, one that must not be
repeated.
We wish to quote Dr. Nduom:
“As we continue to pray, Master, let not your people use Your name in vain.
Teach us not to bear false witness.
Teach us all to pray for humility, incorruptibility, diligence and the courage to take the righteous path.
Teach our people to know that it is they who vote and that no free manna
will fall from the heavens and that whom we give our vote to will
determine our well-being on this earth.
My Lord God, make our hearts pure and our minds fertile for the truth
and help us make wise choices so that we can vote for leaders who will
help us make excellent use of natural gifts you have put here on part of
the world called Ghana.
These and others I ask and pray for in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
We are wide Awake!
J. B. Eshun
Constituency Chairman, KEEA
