The Editor of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako Jnr has exposed the All Peoples Congress (APC) for stealing ideas from the manifesto of the largest opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The Elephant family on Sunday October 9, launched its manifesto which it says will restore hope to Ghanaians at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra.
The event saw various speakers including the Flagbearer Nana Akufo Addo, his running mate, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia and other leading members speak about policies that will be implemented in the NPP government beginning 2017 when elected into power.
But the APC on Sunday released a statement shortly after the NPP manifesto launch, threatening to sue the party for plagiarizing its manifesto.
The statement signed by APC General Secretary, Razak Kojo Opoku, said the NPP 2016 manifesto were full of ideas already put out by the APC.
Deputy Communications Minister, Hon. Felix Kwakye Ofosu commenting on the matter on Neat FM on Monday stated that the NPP which claims to be the government in waiting, has unfairly treated Ghanaians by serving the public with stolen ideas from the APC.
“I listened to Hassan Ayariga when he presented the APC manifesto about four days ago. If you compare what he put out and what the NPP presented yesterday, some of the portions are the same…word for word, and I’m not talking about ideas here which wouldn’t have been a big deal, but if you compare the two documents, you’ll realize that the NPP has plagiarized the APC manifesto. This is not the way the NPP should treat Ghanaians and the party owes Ghanaians an explanation as to why it has presented a document already put of by Hassan Ayariga.
“Currently, if one is discussing the NPP manifesto, the person is not even sure if he’s not rather discussing the APC manifesto because there are no differences between the two documents. The APC launched its manifesto about three days before the NPP did theirs so the NPP should explain how most of the contents are the same as the APC’s.”
Kwakye Ofosu added: “Where the NPP said Teachers, Nurses, Ghanaians are suffering, you go to page 6 of the APC manifesto and you see the same thing there…word for word not even did a letter change in the sentence. Under the Health section, the APC said it will build two prisons hospital, the same thing is the NPP manifesto, under the social development, what the APC has indicated it will do, the NPP is saying the same thing. The NPP must be told that this is unacceptable.”
However, Veteran Journalist, Kwaku Baako Jnr speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo show on Wednesday stated that the claims by both the APC and the deputy minister cannot be true.
He said after scrutinizing both manifestos there’s no doubt in his mind that the APC rather stole ideas from the NPP manifesto.
“Clearly Kwakye Ofosu is convinced that the NPP plagiarized the APC’s manifesto. I took my time and looked through both manifestos, truly there were portions that were word for word. Then I realized something is going wrong with this part of our world, it’s not just the ideas, the fact that crafting of the sentences are word for word is problematic. Now, Felix’s logic is that because the APC launched its manifesto before the NPP, logically the NPP has stolen from the APC’s manifesto.”
He continued: “So while scrutinizing the two documents, I got to this interesting part, where Nana Akufo Addo has stated his vision in the manifesto, the APC has also indicated …APC Plan for Ghana. Under NPP’s vision, the party has said…the next NPP government will place people at its centre, their hopes and their concerns will drive its policies and priorities. Now come to APC… Ayariga says the next APC government will place people at its centre by…the same thing as the NPP has said, ‘the next’ is the the operative word, how? where is the previous APC government, when have they ever been in power for Ayariga to say the next APC government. So you see straight away, who did the copying?

Mr. Kwakye Ofosu will never have the wisdom necessary to know who's actually lying because he's a baby with sharp teeth. He bites anything he sees without critical analysis. Same on you! Now that the truth is out,what will you say? Humble yourself and you will be able to learn from wise people.
That is why NDC shun Education,knowing that if majority of Ghanaians are educated their lies and propaganda cannot hold,and therefore cannot win any election in Ghana.You listen their followers and you wonder the kind of brain they have,very poor in analysis and reasoning.No wonder Dr. Bawumia has embarassed Mahama on the cost of redenomination,what an incompetence.As for Hassan Ayariga,his time will be up.VOTE NPP.
Hw can dis Govt take Ghanaian 4 granted hw do they see us.. Ayariga was Juz doing the bidding 4 his paymasters but unfortunately he was not able 2 stand De test of time n have been disgrace at the end of the day. I learnt he has even 4 gotten dE route 2 his home town after the disqualification.. Confusion galore.. Change dey come
Frank Fiakpui... I would have tried to explain Kweku's analysis to you, but it's a pointless venture, because you lack a brain. It's like putting petrol into a car without an engine!!! There can't be a next if there wasn't a previous. Du.mb a.ss!!!
kweku Baako paaa.u shock me. it could mean the next govt which will be APC.
KWAKU BAAKO ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION. WHEN WAS THE PREVIOUS APC GOVERNMENT THAT ALLOWED AYARIGA TO SAY "THE NEXT APC GOV"? CLEARLY HE COPIED BLINDLY. YOU MUST REASON AND STOP FOLLOWING BLINDLY.
Christianity and mediocrity has swallowed Ghanaians and made us sooo weak and powerless. Maybe the NPP are afraid to be seen as ungodly, they can contact some of us to invoke the gods on ***barred word*** people like Ayariga.
KWAKU DON'T BOTHER YOURSELF, YOU KNOW THIS FELIX GUY IS A BUFFOOONARY FROM BIRTH. THE MOST ***barred word*** IN THE NDC COMMUNICATION TEAM
I always say you don't need a degree to be smart .kwaku you've just shown you are smart..we all know ayariga has no brain to even tell a story so we knew he there was something wrong somewhere..He can never draft a manifesto in his life.He is a common ***barred word*** who need to be caged.
Kweku Baako has wits
