National Organizer of the governing NDC, Yaw Boateng Gyan, has slammed the Daily Guide Newspaper saying he is appalled at the penchant of their editors to consistently publish negatives about the ruling party and believes the newspaper has a mindset to run the NDC down. According to him, the �Daily Guide and other newspapers he described as "pro-NPP" (The Chronicle and the Daily Searchlight) are in cohorts to project the Mills-led administration and the NDC party in a bad light. �What good thing has the Daily Guide ever published about the NDC? Sometimes I ask myself whether the people who write for the newspaper never see anything good in the NDC. Why won�t we speak the truth for God to bless us? Ebo Quansah�s Chronicle and Ken Kuranchie�s Daily Searchlight are brothers to the Daily Guide, and they�ve made up their minds that they will never say anything good about this government and the NDC party,� he noted. He was commenting on the newspaper�s reportage on the election of Osahene Boakye Gyan as the NDC�s parliamentary candidate for Jaman South in the Brong Ahafo Region. Major (rtd) Boakye Gyan was elected as the parliamentary candidate to represent the ruling NDC for next year�s elections after a hotly contested elections on Saturday. The onetime outspoken spokesperson for the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council polled 361 out of total valid votes of 435 representing 81%. His major challenger Mathew Gyasi had 74 votes. Speaking in an interview on Okay FM�s Ade Akye Abia Morning show, the NDC National Organiser expressed reservations at the tagging of the ex-military officer as a coup maker by the newspaper. �How can Osahene be a coup plotter? Someone who rescued his people be labeled a coup maker? Everybody believe that June 4 was an uprising against a military rule�and we all hailed him but right now because he has joined the NDC party, he is been described as an architect of a coup?�if he had aligned himself with the NPP, a different tag would have been placed on him. They can continue publishing negative stories about the NDC but all I can is that what God has said will surely come to pass,� he stated. Lightheartedly, Yaw Boateng-Gyan added that �if the pen used by the Daily Guide newspaper to write negative stories about the NDC happened to be human, it (the pen) would at some point tell them to the face that some of their publications are total fabrications and unfair�. �Let the Daily Guide newspaper continue reporting negatively about the NDC, but I know for sure that who God has bless, no one can curse and what God has said will surely come to pass,� the NDC National Organiser said.
