It was a war of words between two outspoken deputy general secretaries on NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’ when the duo were offered the opportunity to use the platform to campaign for their respective parties.
The ruling National Democratic Congress [NDC] Deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho and opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP] Deputy Chief Scribe, Nana Obiri Boahen were at each other's throat spewing forth vitriol.
Koku had earlier tagged his colleague on the other side of the political divide as “lazy” for their campaign strategy ahead of December 7, polls – and also insinuated that their suspended national chairman was “more sensible” than the acting one.
“So why is Obiri Boahen insulting us, what is he up to? I have said the NPP only held press conferences in Accra whiles we are on the grounding working. So if he [Obiri Boahen] doesn’t agree with me, must he use abusive words?” Koku questioned.
“If Nana Obiri Boahen claims he is sensible than all of us [In the NDC] fine, he should keep that. But if Freddy Blay [NPP’s acting chairman] had conscience, he will not advertise for the NDC is his papers [Daily Guide]. Paul Afoko [suspended Chairman] will never do such a thing if he owns a paper. The man [Freddy Blay] has no conscience. He has never belonged to the NPP and he is a stomach politician” he claimed
He went on to further question the leadership credibility of the NPP of which Obiri Boahen is acting as a deputy general secretary – “Who elected Obiri Boahen? He was appointed by some committee. Obiri can only match me if he goes to congress and contest for the position he is bragging with. Until then he is nobody in the NPP. He has no locus and he is not even respected by anyone in the party. How can such a person be insulting prominent elected executives of the NDC?”
This did not go down well with Nana Obiri Boahen – he descended heavily on Koku and tagged him as “blockheaded” – “This man will never say anything sensible” – but he was quick to say “I am not insulting him though”.
“But from what Koku is saying, it gives me the conviction that, Paul Afoko is truly in bed with the NDC as alleged. What Koku said confirms it all” he said
Lawyer Obiri Boahen also explained to host, Nana Yaw Kesse that – “My position was a proposal made by the national executive committee and channeled to the national council for approval. Koku just advertised his crass ignorance on radio. I wouldn’t waste my time on such a person. Koku, if sensible, will learn more about NPP’s constitution before commenting on our executives’ appointments”

OBIRI BOAHEN CAN NEVER TALK WITHOUT INSULTING.NOTE AND MONITOR ALL HIS SPEECHES. DEMOCRACY INDEED!!!
NPP AND THEIR WONDERFUL FACES.
NDC are deceiving themselves when they think that NPP are not campaigning but only holding press conferences. The guys are in the villages campaigning. The NPP strategy is rather all-encompassing, using press conferences, village campaigns, media interviews etc. which is normal. As for Blay, he should have known that allowing NDC adverts into his paper was a bait. In that sense Koku is right.
So the NDC's "strategy" was to advertise in the Daily Guide and later make propaganda about the credibility of Freddie Blay? Logic? What kind of a party at all is the NDC. They think politics must be mixed with everything including business? And that if the Daily Guide had refused the publication, no other paper would have published the NDC's advert? Or that your political opponents are such enemie.s of yours that you will refuse to even publish an ad for them at a commercial rate? What is this thinking, NDC? Is that why you make enemie.s of everyone who disagrees with you? Is that why when they come to power everything belongs to them and their foot-soldiers?
This is a ***barred word*** guy . He should immediately be burned into ahes. I have never heard him speak to issues.Is he, indeed, an educated folk? It is really terrible to hear him speak, because he lacks the ability to construct issue-based argumentation let alone bebate an issue, except attacking personality. He did the same to discredict and insult President Kufour. A big change is coming and their days are numbered while doom is stirred in their faces and they are despirate and confused.Koku Anyidoho belongs to the gas-chamber. I must strongly disclaime any parallel drawn from any historical precedence.Koku's Character,demeanor is abysmal,unfathomable of a kind and deserves to be treated as such.
Koku has never respected anyone in Ghana. he was not brought up well...I blame his parents especially the FATHER. He can't call his son to ORDER. Koku, day in day out you bring curses on your family...
The man looks more like a fetish priest than a lawyer. Let be frank, i lie?
