Audio Attachment:listen to Kweku Baako on 'Kokrokoo' |
The Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says there is none like former President John Agyekum Kufuor in the New Patriotic Party.
Even though there are the likes of Akufo Addo, Alan Kyerematen, Kwabena Agyepong and so on, Kweku Baako believes the former President stands tall among the long list.
His comment comes on the back of allegations from Richard Anane, a former Minister of Health that Nii Adjiri Blankson, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and some other members of the NPP in 1998, campaigned for Nana Akufo Addo to replace John Agyekum Kufuor even though the latter had been elected as the presidential candidate of the party.
According to Dr Anane, Adjiri Blankson and his colleagues prevailed on the late B.J. da Rocha and then Chairman of the NPP, Samuel Odoi-Sykes, as well as other executives of the party, to drop Mr Kufuor and replace him with Nana Akufo-Addo.
Adjiri Blankson who was shocked by the allegation, issued a statement saying: οΏ½I find such ugly and noisy aberration from Dr Richard Anane simply as a tired, confused and flaccid father who forcibly wants to put his child to sleep by talking οΏ½ananse semοΏ½ storiesοΏ½
According to Kweku Baako, there is no need to drag former President Kufuor into debates of this nature because he is an honest and trustworthy man.
οΏ½I donοΏ½t think there is anybody like President Kufuor in the NPP. I trust him; I have solid trust in President Kufuor because I have dealt with him. He doesnοΏ½t lie to me. What is the truth, he will tell me even if it is distasteful. I also know the NPP and so it is unfortunate when you hear some of these things going onοΏ½ he told Kwami Sefa Kayi during a panel discussion on οΏ½KokrokooοΏ½
Kweku Baako also stated that it was uncharacteristic for Adjiri Blankson to speak harshly on issues and if he had released a caustic statement, it means he had been pushed to the wall.
οΏ½οΏ½the man hardly speaks. How many times do you hear Adjiri Blankson speak? A key factor in the Alliance For Change (AFC) - Organizers of the Kumepreko Demo) was Adjiri Blankson but the man hardly talks so people think he doesnοΏ½t know anything or he doesnοΏ½t speak. I learnt he spoke very harshly but that was uncharacteristic of Adjiri Blankson but that is what happens when (untrue) things are said; the ripple effectοΏ½οΏ½ he added.
