Akamba descends into gutter over NDC 2020 campaign message

Joshua Akamba, NDC National Organiser
Joshua Akamba, National Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has described as “stupid” the claim that the party has no campaign message for the 2020 general election.

He could not fathom why any discerning Ghanaian will ask a party which was in power four years ago of its message when all its achievements are very visible for all to see.

“It’s stupid for anyone to ask of our campaign message. Mahama did a lot of projects when in power so which other message are they asking for?” he said on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday.

The opposition party, seeking to return to power, has been mocked by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for not having any campaign message ahead of the December general election.

The issue became murkier when the NDC appealed to Ghanaians to rather help them with ideas as they put together their manifesto.

This move, the NPP maintained, was enough attestation that the NDC is not a better alternative to them.

In a riposte, Mr Akamba on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday said the elections will not be won on campaign messages.

Rather, he explained that, it will be based on the track record of former President John Mahama and President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The NDC National Organiser said the party had resolved to leave the formulation of the campaign message to the flagbearer, Mr Mahama and concentrate on mobilising the grassroots to win power.

Mr Akamba is confident of a one-touch victory in the elections to rescue Ghanaians from the “thievery and corruption under the Akufo-Addo government.”

Andre Ayew headed out of Swansea?

The future of Swansea City forward André Ayew is growing even more uncertain by the day, with interested clubs on standby after speculation concerning his possible availability. The Ghana International leads the charts for the Welsh side, with 11 goals in all competitions so far this season. With Swansea reportedly experiencing some financial instability following their relegation from the Premier League in 2018, Ayew is one of the names that have popped up on the exit list, due to his very high wages. The likes of Daniel James and Oli McBurnie have all left during that period, together with Jordan Ayew and Wilfried Bony among others have helped to significantly lower the wage bill. Tottenham Hotspurs and Championship leaders Leeds United have been identified as front runners for the Ghana international’s signature. Ayew rejoined Swansea from West Ham United in January 2018, then joined Turkish side Fernerbahce on loan for the 2018/2019 season, before returning to the We...
