As the ruling National Democratic Congress readies for its July congress in Sunyani, little is known about the campaign strategy been adopted by the latest addition to the party\u2019s presidential race, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.<\/p>\n
Dr. Spio-Grabrah picked up his nominations forms by proxy on the final day set aside by the party, which was Tuesday May 10, 2011.<\/p>\n
Before picking up the forms though, Dr. Spio-Garbrah posted a video message on his facebook page in which he said some of his supporters had asked him to pick up nomination forms to contest the party\u2019s presidential primaries.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Multi TV\u2019s current affairs programme, PM EXPRESS, Dr. Spio-Garbrah explained that the decision to pick up the nomination forms was taken after weighing the various calls on him to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was hearing many voices and I was weighting the pros and cons of the many voices\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I weighed the pros and cons, I thought I would be more effective as a potential flag bearer candidate\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
With his mind firmly made up and his other contenders having a song or two composed specially for their campaigns, Dr. Spio-Garbrah might not have to bother composing a new song after all.<\/p>\n
Before appearing on PM EXPRESS on Friday, Dr. Spio-Garbrah hinted on one of Accra\u2019s private radio stations, Citi FM that he really enjoyed \u201cMake that move\u201d by one of America\u2019s most successful bands, Shalamar, and would have unleashed some dance moves if he had been on TV.<\/p>\n
So when he finally made it to the Multi TV studios, the hit song \u201cMake that move\u201d was played for him to which he made a few moves \u2013 sadly though in his seat.<\/p>\n
But why does he like that song in particular? Apparently, it reminded him of his younger years on the streets of America. \u201cThose are my hay days you know\u201d he told show Host, Nii Arday Clegg while nodding his head and moving his upper body to the rhythm of the song.<\/p>\n
So would Dr. Spio-Garbrah make the Shalamar hit song his campaign song? Chances are he may because, he believes members of the NDC need a change in leadership and he also said if anyone asked what time it was, the response should be \u201cit\u2019s Spio-Garbrah time\u201d.<\/p>\n
So from all indications, unless someone manages to sway him from reminiscing about his hay days, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah might just adopt the Shalamar song \u2013 which seems to flow with his campaign message \u2013 as his campaign song.<\/p>\n
After all, President Mills at his re-election campaign launch, somewhat adopted the now popular Africa Gospel Choir song \u201cDouble, Double\u201d and it was even been incorporated into a slogan for the campaign.<\/p>\n
Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings\u2019 campaign launch at the Accra International Conference Centre also witnessed the massive air play of Hiplife trio V.I.P\u2019s hit tracks \u201cAway\u201d \u2013 which seems to tie in with her call for a change in leadership of the party \u2013 and \u201cI think I like am\u201d which possibly is an endorsement of her candidature by her supporters.<\/p>\n
So inquiring minds are waiting and watching to see which song Dr. Spio-Garbrah comes up with for his campaign.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
