The Member of Parliament for the Bimbilla Constituency, Mr. Dominc Nitiwul, who, on Monday went overdrive to claim that President J.E.A Mills used \u2018Juju\u2019 to win the 2008 elections, has been taken to the cleaners by Deputy Minister of Information, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.<\/p>\n
According to the Deputy Minister, what the Bimbilla MP said was simply an insult to all Ghanaians. \u201cHe thought he was dealing with the President but it has turned out he has insulted all Ghanaians.\u201d He said. Mr. Nitiwul on Monday amazed Ghanaians with a claim that President Mills charmed Ghanaians with a ring to enable him to win the 2008 elections. The MP said that it was people within the NDC who told him that but he was unable to mention names.<\/p>\n
Mr. Ablakwa, who was speaking in an interview with The Enquirer in reaction to the Mr. Nitiwul\u2019s assertion, said that the MP\u2019s position was clear to the effect that a mere ring could sway the minds of Ghanaians to vote for a candidate instead of assessing the person\u2019s competence. \u201cIt\u2019s quite amazing for a Member of Parliament to think like that in this modern time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, Mr. Nitiwul has demonstrated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) does not have any modicum of respect for the Ghanaians electorate who voted for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr. Ablakwa said that the position of the MP implies that the NPP was more interested in Black Magic and Vodoo politics than talking about issues. \u201cNot long ago, Mr. Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, General Secretary of the NPP, also came out to say that it did not rain in Kumasi during the Easter Friday because God was angry with the NDC as government in power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo serious opposition party will make such unhealthy and unguarded statement that insults the very people it is trying to persuade to vote in its favor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He told The Enquirer that Ghanaians voted for President Mills because of his vision and integrity. \u201cThe man\u2019s credibility, track record and the solid plans he had for Ghana at the time he was candidate Mills alone made Ghanaians to vote for him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Minister said that with Mr. Nitiwul\u2019s position, the NPP is saying Ghanaians are cheap and not discerning enough and just a ring could let them have a change of mind. \u201cThis is where some politicians have gotten to and that will not help Ghanaians in any way at all,\u201d he said.\u201cThe way Nitiwul spoke has been the trend of the NPP but what is worse is that they will go all out and defend it but Ghanaians are watching closely,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He told The Enquirer that several months after the election of Nana Akufo-Addo, as the flagbearer of the NPP, the Party does not even have a blueprint for his campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect the NPP to be talking about such things and not the disgraceful and cheap statements like the ones coming from Messrs Afriyie and Nitiwul,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that Ghanaians had the opportunity to listen to both NDC and NPP and saw that NDC would increase housing stock, provide quality education and offer the best and voted for it. Mr. Ablakwa said it would serve the NPP good to do scientific-based politics and stop the Black Magic politics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
