General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s primary objective is not to win the war against the deadly novel Coronavirus.
According to him, Ghanaians should not delude themselves into thinking the President Akufo-Addo means whatever he says, especially on measures put in place to fight the COVID-19.
Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, General Mosquito as he is politically known, maintained that whenever the President addresses the public on COVID-19, it can be seen in two dimensions other than the primary goal of ending the global pandemic.
“One of the eyes of the President is largely focused on how to win the 2020 elections in the midst of COVID-19; that is the area of most concern to the President. Thus every measure he has put in place in the fight against novel coronavirus is geared towards winning the next elections. The second objective of the President and that is obviously not his priority, is his fight against the COVID-19,” he asserted.
He reiterated that “at any point, if the President has to choose between what will make him win the next election and the one that will win the fight against the virus; he will definitely go for winning the next elections”.
The NDC Chief Scribe further catalogued a litany of instances on the part of the president that exposes the disparity between his remarks to Ghanaians in the fight against COVID-19 and his actions.
"I am talking about the behaviour of the President and not the speeches he has read to us, in the fight against Coronavirus. Behaviour in any situation is more important than the words used to address the situation. And sadly, the conduct of the president in the fight against Coronavirus contradicts his words . . .
“The President gave some directives to ban all public gatherings including going to church and mosque as well as political campaigning which were good in order to stop the spread of the new coronavirus . . . later, we realised that the NIA which is directly under the Office of the President in the wake of the President’s order to stop public gathering was still engaging the public to register people in the Eastern Region.
“So, we asked, is the President's word not different from his behaviour? It is also reported that one of the clergies who was part of the President's meeting at the Jubilee House asked him (the President) about the National Identification Authority (NIA's) conduct (which was in direct contravention of his order), and he replied that he was unaware until some NDC Executives in the Eastern Region took the matter to court . . . We got to know later that the President is aware of the operations of NIA when his lawyers filed an appeal against the court's ruling.
To him, it was only the public's intense agitation that stopped the National Identification Authority (NIA) from resuming the exercise to register Ghanaians for their Ghana Card.

WHY ALL THIS DELAYANCE?BETTER SEND THIS OLD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER TO OLD PEOPLE,S HOME.THIS ASIEDU NKETSIA IS NOT SERIOUS AT ALL-ALWAYS SHITSYSTEM.SALUTE
I AM GLAD THAT THE POLICE WENT TO THE SCENE OF THE EC MEETING TO STOP ANY CHAOSS. THOUGH THEY DID NOT ARREST ANYBODY ON THAT DAY, IT GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ALL WHO LOITERED TO THREAT EC STAFF AT THE PREMISES. IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE FOR THE POLICE TO INVITE THE NDC PARTY SUPPORTERS WHO WENT TO THE HOTEL TO CAUSE NNNUISANCE AND ASSAULTEDD THE EC OFFICIALS. IT IS AN ASSAULTTT FOR NDC GGANGSTERS TO HHOOT AT THE EC OFFICIALS AS THEY WERE LEAVING THE HOTEL. THEY MUST BE CHARGED FOR ASSAULTINGG PUBLIC OFFICIALS ON DUTY. IF HARDWORKING AND COMMITTED STAFF OF EC COULD BE THREATENEDD AND HOOTEDD AT FOR CARRYING OUT THEIR DUTY AND NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT BY THE STATE AND THE POLICE WHO ELSE WOULD THEN SACRIFICE TO DO ANYTHING GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. WE WOULD ONLY GET PEOPLE WHO TAKES BRIBESS FOR AIRBUS, ENERGY PLANTS OR OTHER STATE TRANSACTIONS TO TAKE OFFICE. I EXPECT REPUTABLE PRIESTS, PASTORS, IMAMS AND CIVIL SOCIETIES TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST SUCH VICESS AND NOT TO REMAIN SILENT WHEN EVILL AND CHAOSS ARE PERPETUATED. WE MUST ALWAYS PRAISE SACRIFICE AND GOOD WORKS AND CCONDEMN EVILLL. THE EC IS WORKING HARD TO SAVE THE NATION FROM ANY CONSTITUTIONAL CRISISS. THIS SAME PARTY GANGSTERSSS WHO OBSTRUCT THE EC WORK TODAY, WILL BE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WOULD DISAGREE TO ANY SSENSIBLEE ARRANGEMENT THAT WOULD BE PROPOSED SHOULD DECEMBER 2020 ELECTIONS BE DELAYED. THE COST OF PAINN AND MISERYY TO BE CAUSED BY ANY DELAY OF THE DECEMBER ELECTIONS CANNOT BE COMPARED IN ANYWAY TO WHATEVER SACRIFICE WE MAKE TODAY TO HAVE THAT ELECTIONS. SSSELFISH POLITICIANS WHO CANNOT WIN DECEMBER ELECTIONS HOPE TO CAUSE CONFUSIONNN AND CHAOSSS. PLEASE, GHANA POLICE IT IS YOUR TASK TO KEEP ORDER AND PEACE. TOO MUCH LENIENCY TO HOOLIGANSSS MIGHT BE TAKEN FOR YOUR WEAKNESSSS. ALL GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA MUST FORCEFULLY SPEAK OUT AGAINST DESTRUCTIVEE ACTS AND BOLDLY SUPPORT GOOD AND HARDWORKING CAUSE TO PROTECT THE PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR NATION.
it is not true. Nana has done a wonderful job. fasting for the whole country was great. the Good Lord is listening to our prayers.
What is the agenda of PeaceFmOnLine in giving this man an amplifier for his needless politicking?
And which for the two will you and your NDC choose?
It looks to me that this man always want to be at center stage of all discussions and media can't see through this.
But was it not this man who said there is no COVID-19 and that Nana was just using it to rig the elections? So why is he complaining?
Asiedu Nketiah have you forgotten so soon that 2014 there was cholera outbreak in Ghana only Ghana alone and more than 2000 Ghanaians were affected because of filth and out of that over 200 died who was in charge nog john Ford Mahama and his ndc and were you sleeping then? Didnt you see Ghanaians were dying of filth? something that didng need internatiknal intervention you couldnt solve and left people to die Sh*ut the Fu-ck up! Ndc collected EBOLA funds and chopped when there was no EBOLA in Ghana and you talk about accountability? Tell mahama to account for the EBOLA fund before. Now ndc would have allowed Ghanaians to take their own destiny into their hands in this coronavirus time if ndc were in power and about half of the population might have been wiped off especially Ashanti and the Eastern region so they could take control of the country ,capitation alone was piloted for 3 years in Ashanti just to kill them forgetting Asawase was voting ndc 'obofuo nim ***barred word*** yarefuo' so ndc didnt even care about that constituency but Nana Addo the president of Ghana is treating every Ghanaian equally, "NO DESCRIMINATION" A Ghanaian is a Ghanaian no matter who they vote for must enjoy from their country. Asiedu Nketiah Akufo Addo doesnt need coronavirus to win election, from day one he entered office he put on his working gear and has never relaxed on his work. His work is what will win him power not coronavirus. Ghanaians love the man and his VICE k3k3 ! ndc IS FINISHED !
