Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah says his party lost the 2016 presidential election because it had no message for the electorates.
“NDC had no message in 2016. I met some NDC communicators in Ashanti Region and I asked them what NDC’s message was in 2016 and all they remember was Onaapo, edey bee k3k3,” Spio-Garbrah said in an interview with Adom FM.
The presidential hopeful bemoans his party’s failure to deliver what he termed as an ‘election winning message’ to the voters.
The former Minister of Communications lauded the NPP for their “solid message” that won them the 2016 election – and maintained that 'edey bee k3k3' caused the NDC’s embarrassing defeat.
Spio-Garbrah has however promised to campaign on a solid message if given the nod to lead the NDC in the 2020 election.
He said the NDC grassroots lacked information, but he is ready to reveal to them why John Mahama must be rejected.

Spio you are right. I wonder what JM is looking for again.An Ex president you will have all the benefit till you die. Yes you have done your part,just allow someone continue. are you the only NDC member. Corrupt NDC members who benefited under JM days are pushing for his come back. but he has already failed. Do not your resources on the incompetent man. Ghanaian do not have short memories as he thought. INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT EX PRESIDENT
Why does this man keep indicting himself. You were part of NDC, a minister for Christ sake so why didn't you help the NDC with a message if NDC did not have one? The answer is simple: Its either you did not have any message yourself to suggest for the party or that you are only chickening out from telling us that John Mahama and his boys hijacked the NDC campaign and yet did not have a message. Now if John Mahama did not have a message and you knew this but wouldn't help him put up an "election winning message", then it is very telling the kind of character you are. Stop wasting our years.
This has been the situation every election year. At the moment Mahamah is going round criticising everything the NPP is doing but has not come out with a simple policy of his own. No message, No policy. BAM!
And the question is, do you even have any message for 2020, now that even ur luuting friend has started with loose talks, trash talks back and forth on Nana and Bawumia. he is continuing from where he left of in 2016. our message for ndc come 2020 is already out ooo..."NO WAY FOR THE INCOMPETENT ONE TO COME AND DO MORE DAMAGE"....
WHAT MESSAGE IS SPIO GARBRARH HIMSELF GIVING OUT TO THE NDC DELEGATES BEFORE DEC 7, 2018? WHAT MESSAGE DID NDC GIVE OUT IN 1995, 2008, 2012 BEFORE THEY (NDC) WON THOSE ELECTIONS IN GRAND STYLE FASHION? SLOGANS SUCH AS NO CURVE NO BEND, EDE BI K3K3 WERE THE NDC MESSAGES TO THE ELECTORATE AND WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YET IN 1996, 2008, AND 2012 THE MESSAGES FROM NDC WENT DOWN WITH GHANAIANS AND FOR THAT MATTER THE ELECTORATE AND NDC WON THOSE GENERAL ELECTIONS. WHERE THEN IS YOUR ASSERTION THAT NDC LOST THE 2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS FOR LACK OF MESSAGE? COME AGAIN
What message do you have to lead the party? Were you not part of the NDC party in 2016? Why didn't you give them a message then? Would you be saying that if the NDC had won the elections in 2016? You are total disappointment, and a hopeless one like that. A big disgrace to yourself, the NDC and Ghana. Shame unto you. Old man buluuuuuuuuuu !!!
If a party campaigns on edey bee k3k3, onaapo and JM toaso; what do you expect to reap at the end of the day. The gen Sec who in 2013 during the election petition said he had 34yrs experience in politics at the time could not develop any message for the party. this tells you how hollow he is when it comes to politics. the party banked its hopes on Charlotte Osei and the Circle Dubai only to realise that they were gone for good. NDC bye bye oooo!! thank you Dr. Spio for telling the truth once.
HAS NDC EVER HAD A MESSAGE? NOT THAT I KNOW OFF.
Not true... NDCs message was JM toaso.....
