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.

Korku anyidoho is gradually taking a political suicide
Another fat Doogggg,Avvvvvu!
Kweku, who said he will not engage in family and friends governance? Simple English and logic, and u are fooooling.
Koku u are a DUMMYY. Nepotism breeds corruption which we can all see now
CHRIST ME. THE NDC LOST THE ELECTION BECOUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE KOKU. HE WAS TALKING BY HEART. I PERSONALY DIDNT LIKE HIS STYLE BUT THE PARTY GAVE HIM FREE ROLE TO PLAY. INFACT WHO SAID WE ARE IN A COMFORTABLE LEAD? YOUR PARTY LEADER WAS FRAMED UP WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND IT WAS ALL OVER AND NOW THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE BALOONED IN THIS GOVERMENT AND KOKU NOW SAY WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT. RAWLINGS ALLOTEY AND KOKU HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON AND THATS BITTERNESS.
Oh Koku you asked for a definition as the premise of your argument and you veered off it. Koku don't you think nepotism has cost Africa indeed the black race a lot of pain? There are many businesses that have collapsed due to nepotism vis a vi w)fasi syndrom.
Oh! Hmm it looks like part of your plea bargain when you were arrested for one of your usually ***barred word*** and ***barred word*** outburst was to piss in. Very soon you would be obsolete and ***barred word*** like hypocrite JJ and spio. STOP ABUSING THE SUBSTANCE and learn to speak sense. If NPP was unashamedly bashing then Prez. Mahama for family and friends and turn around and do worse than he did and you expect your party not to draw attention to that is very irresponsible of you. We are watching the NDC whether to vote for them or not. NDC better be more voiciferous and prove their worth.
Dis Guy is displaying his ignorance and it is good for ndc I bet you dis kweku Guy should be ignored immediately ndc should focus expecially de national officer nobody should say a word about wat he has started because he is and old guy without excuse my language brainnn he has been bought to throw dust into ndc activities ndc should remain focus because John mahama is winning dis elections hands down
For all we know, he is also on that WhatsApp platform so he is singing praises of nana addo to divert investigation that could be on him too.
Interesting times! Just a year ago this guy was arrested for inciting coup against nana addo, since he was released from cells and was not prosecuted he has joined Rawlings to team up against the ndc. Wonders shall not end. This gentleman was one of the most insulting persons in politics in Ghana, the only one he couldn't beat though was ken agyepong. Today, he has become nepotism senior lecturer. Who could criticize Professor Mills under NDC government that koku will not pounce on. Thank God nana addo has put some fear in him like Rawlings so both of them has to sing his praises. Allotey Jacobs is another one. They are all afraid of nana addo. The same thing they want to charge the policeman for, koku was released so why not helped nana addo especially when he koku doesn't want mahama as flagbearer. It's all sabotage.
