The National Democratic Party lame duck Leader and the President of the Republic J.D Mahama has begun a journey of intimidation and threat leading to their internal presidential congress yet to happen. Reliable information which has been amplified by some Young ministers have made some senior party members, and some bigwigs so angry and complaining about this autocratic and undemocratic fiat, and �mafia� arrangement and practices within the party. Leading members who are not pleased with this imposition have vowed to fight this highhanded directive, and retort that they have a mission to redeem their Party from sinking too low. They also chastised Mahama for destroying the party and making it unattractive to the Youth and the voting population. Some couldn�t help the situation and told me in confidence they will resist this oppressor within their party with all their strength and might. The worried members nagged of the state of the NDC party and the way Mahama has reduced it to nothing. They intimated that their so called Youth President has run down the image of the party making it so unappealing to the Ghanaians. Some aggrieved members who are the silent majority are warming up to demonstrate against this draconian directive which is about to pushed down their throat for no good to the party. On the �charge sheet� are a lot of issues raised against him from ; the bad management of the Economy, crisis in the educational sector. Poor state of our health needs, an increased unemployment rate, wanton corruption records and above all, the anti-youth posture of Mahama. President Mahama in the minds and heart of many young NDC members lacks vision, does not have appreciation and grasp of the issue of governance and economic management. My brother, we have become laughing stock in town these days. We cannot display our colours, wear our T-Shirts and not too proud to own up as NDC members. Mahama has damaged our party and giving it to the dogs. The Chief of staff I was reliably told is the only man working assiduously wanting to salvage the situation. Hon. Prosper Bani, I was told is the one working hard to turn the tables for the President to find a little solace. Many NDC members are so thankful to their Chief of Staff for the effort he is committing to improve on the system. The implosion in NDC will be likened to the total demise which we the democrats are not too please of it any day and time. I will therefore urge all loving, well-meaning and democratic Ghanaians to reject this and protect the sanctity of NDC constitution.
