Listen to Mr Tei Okunor<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Youth Working Committee, a group aligned to the ruling National Democratic Congress, has called for the immediate dismissal of the Communications Director of the NPP 2012 campaign team, Nana Akomea.<\/p>\n

The group accused him of peddling lies and bringing the image of NPP\u2019s flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo into disrepute by denying the authenticity of a publication on President Kufuor\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n

A Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in condemning the NPP for \u201chypocritically\u201d ridiculing President Mills for commissioning boreholes and classroom blocks, quoted portions of a booklet supposedly published by the NPP in 2005 which highlighted similar achievements of the NPP government.<\/p>\n

The booklet, named \u2018Four-years of Positive Change: so far so good\u2019 listed the commissioning of KVIPs and other menial projects as achievements chalked by the Kufuor\u2013administration.<\/p>\n

But Nana Akomea on Asempa FM last week denied and disassociated the NPP from the publication of that booklet, which the deputy minister used as his reference point.<\/p>\n

He said the book had been selectively reproduced by someone whose intention was to use it for mischievous purposes and promised to investigate it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Youth Working Committee told Joy News that the Information Services Department has acknowledged the authenticity of the document.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s convener, Tei Okunor said attempts by Nana Akomea to deny the publication was based on the fact that he (Akomea) was \u201cembarrassed by their own history\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said Mr Akomea\u2019s action sought to give \u201cmore credibility problem\u201d to Nana Akufo-Addo \u201cthan he was having\u201d, hence the need to dismiss him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think that it would be in the interest of Nana Akufo-Addo to dismiss [Nana Akomea] with immediate effect.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said what the NPP claimed were their \u201cvigorous infrastructure development\u201d in four years were \u201cincomparable\u201d to the achievements of the Mills-led administration in two and half years.<\/p>\n

The group said the NPP\u2019s flagbearer also owes Ghanaians an unqualified apology for his recent comments about Ghana\u2019s political system and tagging the President as a \u2018Professor Do Little\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also call Nana Akufo-Addo to come and apologise, infact offer an unqualified apology to the people of Ghana for describing the political system as a poverty-owning democracy, indeed when he has no better alternative for Ghanaians,\u201d Mr Okunor maintained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mushroom group<\/strong><\/span>
\nBut Nana Akomea has derided the group\u2019s call, referring to the group as a \u201cmushroom group\u201d whose aim could be merely for financial favour.<\/p>\n

He said he would have been worried had the group called for his maintenance.<\/p>\n

He although admitted that he was not able to authenticate the validity of the document when he first sighted it; his checks with the then information minister could not confirm it either.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have produced documents in which we put out the activities and programmes of government and this particular one doesn\u2019t look like any of them at all, this one is just a picture handbook .\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about Nana Addo\u2019s thought on the call on him to apologise to Ghanaians, he replied: \u201cWhen this gets to Nana Akufo-Addo, he will have a good laugh\u2026If somebody should be apologising for making uncomplimentary comments about the government of the NDC, it should be [former president] Jerry John Rawlings.\u201d<\/p>\n
