Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho Tuesday morning expressed disagreement with the Ankobeahene of Aseseeso-Akuapem, Nana Abedi Lartey I, over his description of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as Mutum banza.
Mutum banza is a Hausa term which means useless or good for nothing. According to reports, the former presidential spokesperson referred to the former Deputy Governor of the country’s Central Bank as Mutum banza during the Ashanti Region campaign launch of the NDC over the weekend. But speaking on Onua FM’s Yensempa on Tuesday, Nana Abedi I said Mr Anyidoho’s language was not deserving of him. He advised the politician to be wary of his statements about leading and senior politicians.
In reaction to the chief’s admonition, Mr Anyidoho said his description of Dr Bawumia was no different from the New Patriotic Party Vice Presidential Candidate’s description of President John Dramani Mahama as “incompetent”.
The back-and-forth on air apparently ended up in the dropping of the NDC deputy secretary’s phone line. Nana Abedi I, consequently, admonished young politicians to be wary of their pronouncements against senior colleagues, saying respect for elders guarantees long life as found in the Holy Bible. He cautioned Mr Anyidoho not to think his party will be in power forever as the coin will turn one day.

Bawumiya is indeed mutum banza !!!!!
Evil NDC. Their time is up...Dec will show them the exit. Ghana will breath better again.
And who is this chief too?What makes you think Bawumia's choice of words and or phrases on the president are ok?And let no one say one is a description while the other is an insult.Chief indeed!Tell Bawumia to be decorouse,else he will have it in equal measure of not more.
So Baumia have the right to tell the sitting president that he doesn't read or he doesn't understand when he read. What is more insulting than this. So baumia can say anything to the president and its okay but when same is spleen on him he does not deserve it but the president does. If elders in this country want to advise people on such matters they should not be selective. Is the chief saying that he had not heard all the name calling from baumia for the sitting president? Between baumia and the president who is the elder and the senior politician? Or some senior politicians don't deserve respect but others does? Chief I don't know your political affiliation but what you have started one will be tempted to say that your judgment on these political insults and name calling is very selective and biased towards one party.
Jasmine i think ur IQ is at its lowest level so u dont know the difference between incompetence and mutum banza and u are one of the illeterate ghanaians who supports any thing her party member says either good or bad all in the name of cheap politics. Then yasmine i think u and ur family are also mutum banza
Nana Abedi, well done. As the saying goes; Better late than never. Your word of caution is in order. Only liars, propagandists, babies with sharp teeth, who born dogs and the likes do not know the difference between INCOMPETENCE and insult. If you are given a B+ economy and it falls to B- under your watch and you take an outlook from B- negative to B- positive as an upgrade, inflation worsens, GDP per capita falls,as a president with a vice who was a whole governor of the central bank and it takes you 8 years to demand the cost of redenomination which took place in 2007 the word to use is GROSS INCOMPETENCE. No wonder they are showing grass, coconut trees, etc as SHS buildings. The very idea to build 200 SHS across the country is without vision and next to senselessness. The real reason is to loot the nation. How much does 1 of those units cost?
...nice admonishing there,my dear,however you almost spoil the write up with the" becareful you are not the next target" comment. society shouldnt encourage insults no matter level of provocation....,be it christians,moslems etc,
Anyidoho is under the influence of MARIJUANA so we have to ignore him
JASMINE I THINK YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT GHANAIANS HAVE THE WRITE TO CALL MAHAMA INCOMPETENCE IF HE IS NOT ABLE TO DELIVER WHAT IS EXPECTED OF HIM. THE WORD INCOMPETENCE IS TO DESCRIBE HIS FAILURE TO THE NATION IN TERMS OF PRESIDENCY NOW ANYIDAHO DESCRIBING BAWUMIA AS ***barred word*** IS BASED ON WHAT?? YOU CAN GET A BETTER WORD TO DESCRIBE HIS WORK OR POSITION. THERE IS NO NEED ATTACKING BAWUMIA'S PERSONALITY.AND EVEN WHO ARE YOU ANYIDAHO TO ATTACK BAWUMIA'S PERSONALTY. IT SEEM THE NDC ARE ONLY GOOD IN CHARACTER ASSASINATION. YES, TRYING TO DEMEAN OTHER PEOPLE'S PERSONALITIES. THEY TRIED IT ON AKUFFO ADDO BUT IT ALL DIDN'T WORK AND NOW ITS BAWUMIA. IT IS ONLY GOOD FOR NOTHING PEOPLE WITH INFERIORITY COMPLEX DO THAT BECAUSE YOU ANYIDAHO AND YOUR MAHAMA KNOWS THAT EVEN IF YOU GO HEAVEN AND EARTH YOU CAN NEVER REACH EVEN HALF OF AKUFFON ADDO AND BAWUMIA. I REALLY PITY ANYIDAHOR.
Sometimes....you'd never want to comment on some of these issue but as much as you'd want to, you cannot!!! Nana Abedi inasmuch as I agree to the admonishing aspect, I think it is a little too late. "When an adult sits unconcern to watch kids have lizards as their delicacy, when eaters of lizards are counted, he that adult is counted"........ You classify Bawumia as a learned and senior politician so should be accorded some respect as the Bible says.......... If I may ask, Nana Abedi, between Bawumia and Mahama who would you classify as the learned and senior most politician? What is the difference between "incompetent" and Mutum Banza? Bawumia has referred to the president as incompetent for all these while but saw no need to call him to order but found it necessary to call Anyidoho to order....... Becareful you are not the next target as you have sat down unconcerned when they were eating the lizards...now you'd be counted as an eater!!! Let us be very just in our dealings calling a "spade a spade" at all times!!!
