 Information available to The Enquirer indicates
\nthat a secret war is looming at the Ghana Institute of Journalism
\namong the lecturers and administrators of the institute over a
\n‘fake’ certificate produced by Nana
\nAkomea, the campaign communication director of the New Patriotic
\nParty (NPP), on behalf of Ahmed Arthur, a parliamentary aspirant of
\nthe party.Nana Akomea, in his bid to support Ahmed Arthur during
\nthe partyÂ’s parliamentary primaries, secured a
\ncertificate from the GIJ in the name of Arthur, who himself had
\nconfessed to the leadership of the party that though he did short
\ncourses at the GIJ, the school does not award certificates.The
\ncertificate, which Akomea got, through his bosom friend (name
\nwithheld) at the institute, has set tongues wagging not only among
\nthe leadership of the NPP, but also lecturers of the GIJ.This paper
\nhas gathered exclusively that the ‘fake
\ncertificateÂ’ is now being debated upon by the
\nleadership of the party.According to our reports, after the
\ncertificate, which was given to the leadership of the party by Nana
\nAkomea, on behalf of his protégé, Ahmed
\nArthur, lecturers are arming themselves with moves to haul the
\nRector of het School, Mr. David Newton, who is widely known to be a
\ntrue friend of the NPP guru, and his Deputy Registrar to explain
\nthe circumstances leading to the contradictory positions by the two
\nschool authorities.In a letter written by Mrs. Patience Sowa, the
\nDeputy Registrar, dismissing he allegations that Ahmed Arthur had
\ndone short courses from the institute, another letter purportedly
\nsigned by the Rector contradicted the RegistrarÂ’s.This
\npaper has gathered that while the Deputy Registrar, Mrs. Patience
\nSowah, has stated categorically that the GIJ has no records on the
\neducational status of Ahmed Arthur, the Rector is also claiming
\nthat he has documents which indicated that Ahmed Arthur did a
\ncourse at the school.Interestingly, the Rector, who is a bosom
\nfriend of Nana Akomea, the NPPÂ’s former Minister of
\nCommunication and member of Parliament for Okaikoi South, is
\nbelieved to have aided Nana Akomea to secure the certificate with
\nthe name ‘Hon. Ahmed Arthur” and
\nsubmitted it to the NPP leadership on behalf of the candidate at a
\nmeeting.Meanwhile, our information is that the candidate himself
\nhas admitted to the party that he has no certificates and that for
\nthe short courses run by the GIJ, certificates were not given.As if
\nthat was not enough, Ahmed Arthur told the partyÂ’s
\nVetting Committee that his certificates had been taken away by
\nflood, rendering him ‘certificate less’
\nlike Mr. Jack Obetsebi-Lamptey, the NPP national chairman, and
\nSheikh I. C. Quaye, former Greater Accra Regional Minister.In a
\nletter dated, May 23, this year, signed by Mrs. Patience Sowah, in
\nresponse to verification of educational status of Ahmed Arthur by
\nMs. Vivian Addae, the Okaikoi South Constituency chairperson of the
\nNPP, reads, “Your letter dated May, 5, 2011 on the
\nabove subjects refers: I regret to inform you that we do not have
\nany records on Mr. Ahmed Arthur. In fact, we do not have any
\nprofile of him in our records on participants of our short courses
\nin the past ten years.”Days after the Registrar had
\nexposed the lies of the NPP member, Nana Akomea was able to secure
\nthe certificate under mysterious circumstances which is setting
\ntongues wagging at the GIJ on why and how he got the
\ncertificate.<\/span>   Source:
