Brogya Genfi, a member of the Communication team of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has described as 'dangerous' some comments made by Mr. Gabby Otchere Darko on his twitter handle.
Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko in two separate tweets on his social media account wrote: “Out of Ghana’s 275 constituencies, Ketu South is the most populous constituency in Ghana in terms of the number of names on the electoral role. Why and How? Discuss . . . "
"Ketu South constituency has 149, 219 registered voters. Dome Kwabenya follows with 144, 624 registered voters, with Ledzokuku, 142, 995 and the Ablekuma Central, 137, 154. Discuss the economic and/or social activities which give Ketu South the largest electoral roll in Ghana.”
Brogya Genfi speaking on a panel discussion on Neat FM's 'Me Man Nti' programme said Gabby suggested that those living in Keta do not deserve anything good.
" . . from his tweet, he is telling us that those living in Ketu South are primitive and don't have any social or economic activity . . . it is a very dangerous statement. Don't they do naming ceremony, cultural activity, festival in Ketu South? all because those living in Ketu South are Ewes..." he surmised.

THE CALL OF CONCERN FOR FAIRNESS BY GABBY IS VERY RELEVANT. MANY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE VOLTA REGION ARE NOTED FOR OVER-BLOATEDD REGISTER. THEY ARE NOTED TO INCLUDE PEOPLE FROM TOGO TO BE REGISTERED. NOT LONG AGO. AT NEWSFILE OF JOY TV, THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL MADE AN EYE-OPENING REMARK ABOUT A CONSTITUENCY IN THE VOLTA REGION. HE SAID THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED SCHOOL CHILDREN IN HIS CONSTITUENCY IN THE NORTHERN GHANA FOR BECE IS TWICE AS MUCH AS THE NUMBER IN A CERTAIN CONSTITUENCY IN THE VOLTA REGION. HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED PEOPLE IN THAT PARTICULAR CONSTITUENCY IN THE VOLTA REGION IS FOUR TIMES LAGER THAN THAT OF HIS CONSTITUENCY IN NORTHERN GHANA. CAN THIS BE NORMAL TO ANY THINKING PERSON? IS THIS NOT A CONCERN FOR ANYONE WHO DESIRE FOR JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS? THE REMARKS OF GABBY IS PROMPTING GHANAIANS TO OPEN OUR EYES AND WORK AGAINST SUCH UNJUSTT PRACTICES. IF BROGYA GYAMFI WANTS TO CALL THIS DEVELOPMENT IN KETU SOUTH AND VOLTA REGION "PRIMITIVEE" SO BE IT. IT IS HIS OWN WORDS AND NOT GABBY, BUT HE MAY BE RIGHT. IT IS CHARACTERISTICS OF PRIMITIVE AND UNCIVILIZED PEOPLE TO BE UNFAIRR, UNJUSTT, INSINCEREE, DISHONESTT AND UNTRUTHFULL. ASIDE ELECTION RELATED MATTERS, NOBODY CAN TAG THE PEOPLE OF VOLTA REGION WITH SUCH CHARACTERISTICS. SOME UNSCRUPULOUSSS POLITICIANS ALWAYS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CONDITIONS IN THE VOLTA REGION TO PROMOTE SUCH UNFAIRR AND UNJUSTT DEVELOPMENT IN THE REGION TO MAKE THEM LOOK GUILTY OF SUCH EVILLS. THE GOOD PEOPLE OF VOLTA REGION SHOULD RISE UP TO STOP THE PERPETRATORS OF THIS EVILL PRACTICES AND REDEEM A GOOD IMAGE FOR THE REGION.
NDC is a ***barred word*** party and should varnish in Ghanaian body politics. The CPP's good stuff in the NDC should go back to its roots to help bring back CPP in Ghanaian politics. Indeed, I would be very much disappointed if Dr. K. Botchwey offers to become a running mate of Mahama. That would be the end of his political career. NDC is just too Buga Buga for such a brilliant mind to make a meaningful impact.
How did Brogya Gyenfi arrive at such a co conclusion ? The same old trick of the NDC; create fear and sow seed of tribalism so that issues are relegated in the background
Broga Genfi's comment is off the mark and a complete misinterpretation of the point made by Gabby. Do these guys read at all?
Another NDC ***barred word***..... Why are you putting words in Gabby's mouth? You are saying Ketu South people are pr!mitive. Your ghost voters will never resurrect to vote again.
