The Managing Editor of the Al-Hajj newspaper, Alhaji Iddrisu Bature, has taken a swipe at the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, describing him as a \u2018copycat\u2019 for embarking on a \u2018Listening Campaign\u2019.<\/p>\n
According to Bature, the concept has been borrowed from President Mills’ ‘door-to-door’ campaign strategy ahead of the 2008 general elections.<\/p>\n
Bature explained that the door-to-door campaign by the National Democratic Congress appears to have caught the eye of the NPP flagbearer who has decided to adopt the same strategy.<\/p>\n
The campaign manager of Nana Akufo-Addo for election 2012, Boakye Agyarko in a publication in The Chronicle newspaper of June 23, 2011 revealed that the NPP flagbearer would embark on a door-to-door campaign in all the 230 constituencies beginning July to garner massive support for the 2012 presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
Mr. Agyarko in the Chronicle report said the tour would offer Nana Akufo-Addo an opportunity to interact with Ghanaians and also give him the chance to embark on a grassroots campaign.<\/p>\n
However, Alhaji Bature who was speaking on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen programme Tuesday, believes that the move by Nana Akufo-Addo shows how desperate he is for power.<\/p>\n
He said Nana Addo decided to copy the door-to-door strategy mainly because he has come to the realisation that it is the only way to win massive support from the grassroots to enable him become President.<\/p>\n
He added that the NPP flagbearer also wants to use the door-to-door campaign to prove to his teeming supporters and Ghanaians that he is not arrogant as he is held by his political opponents.<\/p>\n
The NDC sympathizer recounted how the NPP described the I Care for You Campaign (part of the door-to-door campaign by then candidate Mills) as laughable and branded him (Mills) as a desperate politician.<\/p>\n
He questioned the sudden change of NPP’s campaign strategy which he said in 2008, was more of a hi-tech campaign, and noted that the door-to-door campaign by the NPP has revealed their double standards and lack of respect for Ghanaians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
