Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho
Former presidential staffer Halidu Haruna has taken a swipe at former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, accusing him of going too far with his persistent public criticism of President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking in an interview on Metro TV on July 23, 2025, Haruna, who served as an aide to the deputy chief of staff under the late President John Evans Atta Mills, suggested that Anyidoho’s open attacks only confirm long-standing suspicions that he may have worked against Mahama during his time as Vice President under Prof Mills administration.
“But to the extent that you go public with it, it confirms that indeed you were doing something wrong against him while he was Vice President,” Haruna asserted.
Halidu Haruna contrasted Anyidoho’s conduct with that of other former aides to President Mills who now serve under Mahama.
“Dr Valerie Sawyer was very close with Professor Mills… Nii Lantey Vanderpuye was even closer than most of us,” he said.
“The question is, are they not working under John Mahama? They are working under John Mahama.”
Expressing disappointment in Anyidoho’s approach, Haruna said the former presidential communications director should have allowed history to judge rather than resorting to public attacks.
“I was so saddened by the fact that my senior brother, Koku Anyidoho, did not take his time and allow posterity to judge. But he decided to take the decision on his own, and he went too far,” Haruna lamented.
