\nDemocratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) worn-out tribal card game-plan is back at the front
\nburner as MP for Asutifi South in the Bono Region pits Northerners\/Zongo
\nindigenes against the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n
\nZongo indigenes in the NPP, according to Alhaji Collins Dauda, have no future
\nbecause they do not matter in the scheme of things in the ruling party.<\/p>\n
\na rally of NDC faithful in his constituency when he served notice of the direction
\nof his party\u2019s campaign in the run-up to next year\u2019s polls. <\/p>\n
\nintention to vie for the seat ahead of their party primary and his subsequent
\nradio programme \u2012 appears to have pushed the MP to release
\nprematurely his party\u2019s game-plan.<\/p>\n
\nformer Minister of Lands, Water Resources, Works & Housing, made a direct
\nreference to Ali Suraj\u2019s remark on radio in which he reportedly asked members
\nof the constituency to vote for him.<\/p>\n
\nCollins Dauda, Ali Suraj asked Northerners or \u2018Pepe\u2019 as the Akans call them, to
\nvote for him because, after all he (Collins Dauda) is also of Northern
\nextraction or from the Zongo.<\/p>\n
\npersons vying for their party\u2019s candidacy. One of them is Yaw Owusu. The other
\nman said on radio that they have tried to no avail to remove a \u2018Pepeman\u2019 from
\nthe seat.<\/p>\n
\nto vote for him so he would replace a \u2018Pepeman\u2019. So, why would you want to
\nreplace a \u2018Pepeman\u2019 with another \u2018Pepeman\u2019\u201d? he asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n
\nand their Northern counterparts have no future in the NPP, he said, adding, \u201cIn
\nthe NDC, things are different, whether you are a Frafra, Dagarti, Dagomba, Wangara
\nor Fulani, there is no discrimination against you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\ngood intentions for Northerners and the Zongos,\u201d he said, indicating that \u201cif
\nyou are a Northerner and a member of the NPP, bear in mind that your fate is
\nstalled.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nsaid, \u201cIf you are a Northerner and associated with the NPP and you allow your
\nchild who has graduated from the university to join you in the NPP, know that
\nyour child has no future\u2026 Because they (NPP) have sworn not to make him or her
\nprogress.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nparty has played the tribal card for many years until a recent lull with the
\nappearance of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a running mate and eventually as Vice
\nPresident, a feat the NDC itself has never been able to achieve till date.<\/p>\n
\nevidence presents the NPP as the political grouping with unequalled Zongo-friendly
\npolicies. <\/p>\n
\ntime in the history of post-independence Ghana, a whole ministry has been
\nestablished and dedicated towards addressing the peculiar needs of these often
\nneglected segments of the country by the Akufo-Addo-led government. <\/p>\n
\nplace a Zongo Development Fund whose first budgetary
\nallocation has already hit the accounts of the agency.<\/p>\n
\nethnocentric campaign trick once more would surely trigger a long debate on the
\npolitical plane in the days to come. <\/p>\n
