A former Ejisu-Juaben Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh has said that he is more useful in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) than the National Organiser of the party.<\/p>\n

The former MCE speaking on Adom FM\u2019s Morning Show, \u2018Dwaso Nsem\u2019 Tuesday said he has failed to see the reason behind the appointment of Kofi Adams as the National Campaign Cordinator for the party\u2019s 2016 electioneering campaign.<\/p>\n

The less profitable Kofi Adams, he said, failed to live up to expectation and that led to the massive defeat of the party in the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not seen a campaign team that is so weak like the 2016 campaign team headed by Kofi Adams. His performance was abysmal and he lacked ideas and that\u2019s why he performed very badly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can state categorically that I\u2019m more useful than Kofi Adams\u2026I would have performed better than him if I was placed in the same position as him. Looking closely at myself, I can say that Kofi Adams is no match,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Ponkoh said this while commenting on the recommendations made by the 13-member Kwesi Botchwey Committee tasked to probe the defeat of the NDC in last year\u2019s elections<\/p>\n

Kofi Adams was the centre of several accusations by members of the NDC after the party managed 44.4% of valid votes cast in the 2016 National elections.<\/p>\n

Yamoah Ponkoh had earlier called for him to be hanged for leading the party into opposition as a national campaign Coordinator.<\/p>\n

\u201cI laughed it off when I heard Kofi Adams saying he should be blamed for our defeat, he should stop irritating our ears; why should he accept the blame, why did he accept to be the National Campaign Coordinator when he knew that he was going to fail us? I mean why, it is an unforgivable sin. Andy Okrah and Kofi Adams need to be hanged for our defeat. They should have humbly rejected the offers when they were appointed. They have no excuse to give.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis defeat is a serious blow to us, we are now going to feel the impact of our loss, our supporters are being vilified, killed, beaten everyday by New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters, watch the space, the harassment will be worst after the President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is sworn in office,\u201d he lamented at the time.<\/p>\n

He maintained on the show that Kofi Adams did a terrible job as the Campaign Coordinator including the setting up of abysmal regional campaign teams which he said failed to live up to expectation.<\/p>\n

The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko administrator was also of the firm conviction that the NDC had all it took to win a battle but Kofi Adams together with his team failed to help the party due to what he describes as \u2018greed\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have still not recovered from our humiliating loss. I am dead as I\u2019m speaking with you now, because I can\u2019t do anything with my life anymore,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
