A member of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] is unhappy with his party’s preparations towards the general election come December 7, 2020.
The former NDC Deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho cautioned that his party is likely to taste opposition again if they don’t 'beef up their game' and address critical issues that will win them power.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, the 'Bull' as he is affectionately called in politics dismissed accusations of nepotism against President Akufo-Addo, arguing that appointing relatives into government is an age-old practice and that the President has committed no crime.
“The family is the basic sociological unit of every society. When you are in opposition, it is family and friends who support you. So when you get power one day, you throw them [family and friends] all away and bring strangers?” he rhetorically asked.
He further biblically backed his claims and insisted “there is absolutely nothing wrong with nepotism. Let’s stop the pretence”.
"Ghanaians are interested in the bread and butter matters. If the family and friends are stealing from government purse, then we can speak against it and go after them," he said.
“ . . If we are against nepotism, then sooner we [NDC] will request for DNA test to appoint people when we win the next election,” he told host Kwesi Aboagye.
The NDC through its National Communication Officer, Sammy Gyamfi has accused the New Patriotic Party [NPP] government led by President Akufo-Addo of nepotism in a press conference – describing the President as the most nepotistic President in the world.
The NDC indicated that at least 51 persons related to the President have been appointed into government.

ALUTA, Donald Trump has his daughter and son in law in government.
Is only in Ghana that we don’t talk about substance but the form, wether the person is a family member or not, the most important thing is the result.
The most stupiiid and foolishhh president in Ghana is Akufo Addo. He looks like a monkey. Is not this Monkey fault. Is central Region. There will be Arab Spring in Ghana 2020. Monkey Akufo Addo should come and arrest me. Foolishhh president
Kuko, you are a forgotten monument of NDC. We are aware of your hypocrisy long time! It is a public knowledge of who you were, and continue to leak NDC confidential document and information to the NPP. You started sabotaging the NDC the very day JDM became president. Do not think no one is aware!!! It was even part of the wicked concealed plan you wanted to become the General of the party. If you are someone who thinks fast, the margin of your lost in that executive race should have informed you that your wicked plans are uncovered. The delegates were all aware of your wicked intentions! When NPP was on JDM describing his appointees as only Northerners where was Kuko? When the then candidate Nana was describing the then Government as F & F, where were you, Kuko? In fact, the only closest blood relation in JDM government was Madam Joyce Bawa Mugtari and you are very aware of that fact! I can go on and on...... Please, just drop this or it will soon devour you.
WHAT SHOWS KOKU AND HIS BOSS ARE NDC. RAWLINGS DID NOT CAMPAIGN FOR THE NDC IN 2016. WHAT IS HIS BEEF.
KOKU WHAT THE NDC IS DOING IS IT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE NPP DID IN 2016. WHEN THE NPP STAGED THIS AS A CAMPAIGN MESSAGE WHERE WERE YOU. ARE YOU ALSO A HYPOCRITE.
KOKU WHERE WERE YOU WHEN NPP TAG MAHAMA AS FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOVT.WHAT HAS CHANGE OVER YOU ?
Hypocrites like you will blindly support the s1lly conduct of that small boy Sammy Gyamfi until the NDC loses the next elections in a more shameful style again. When elders in the party are giving wise council, your likes will quickly jump in to insult them. If your friends and family help you to win power, then you go and recruit robots to work with them. Proffering POLICY ALTERNATIVES is what can win you elections and not these wasteful press conferences. So far, all we've heard from John Mahama is "I will review" policy. Yesterday Sammy Gyamfi listed some policy moves the NDC will embark on if they win power......and guess what?...."they'll collect a shop at terminal 3 from Nana Addo's daughter". THE NDC NEVER LEARNS!
Koku my brother tell them more. Now you seem to be seeing the light in politics. thumps up Koku.
ARE YOU TELLING US THAT ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS VOTED FOR YOU TO BE PRESIDENT? DOES DONALD TRUMP OR VLADIMIR PUTIN OR MACRON OR PAUL KAGAME ETC NOT HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS? AND HAVE THEY FILLED THEIR GOVERNMENTS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS? THIS MENTALITY IS ONE OF GREED AND SEL-FISH_NESS. IT MEANS IF I DO NOT HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER AS PRESIDENT I SHOULD NOT BENEFIT FROM POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS? THIS IS ELEVENTH CENTURY MENTALITY. WE HAVE MOVED ON TO THE 21ST CENTURY. THEN IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ASK FOR ALL-INCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT
