The Ghanaian media on 1st May 2024 reported the disappointment of NPP National Chairman Stephen Ntim with the results of the recent Ejisu bye-election – in which the NPP candidate won by a meagre 27,772 (58.80%) votes, and the Independent Candidate (a former NPP member) had 21,535 (43.30%) votes, even without the NDC in the race.
According to the reports, Mr. Stephen Ntim Ayensu is not a happy person that the NPP has lost a number of its members due to internal wranglings.
Mr Ntim reportedly said he will work hard to bring people back to the NPP so that ” come December 7 we will not be surprised.”
Who will tell the NPP Chairman this simple truth.
AFTER THE RECENT INTERNAL PARLIAMENTARY PRIMARIES, THE NPP HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM THE IMPACT OF THE NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF PERSONS CONSIDERED TO BE JUBILEE HOUSE (PRO-ESTABLISHMENT) CANDIDATES!
If Mr. Ntim wants to know the implications of this impact on the NPP’s likely woes in the December 7 polls, he should cause NIB Operatives to run snapchecks in constituencies in the Northern Axis
In the Yendi general area, for example, if elections were held today, Farouk Aliu Mahama – the NPP’s MP and Parliamentary Candidate for Yendi will garner more votes than His Excelllency Alhaji Timothy Mahamudu Bawumia – the NPP’s Flagbearer!
Why? There are two reasons!
One of the reasons is that it seems Farouk Aliu Mahama is keeping the NPP afloat because he is touching the lives of people in the Yendi general area, in the same way his late father, H.E. Aliu Mahama did before, during, and after his vice presidency.
Consequently, there are some NPP and non-NPP members who will vote for Farouk but will not necessarily vote for Dr. Timothy Bawumia.
The Yendi Police, Prisons, and Military authorities could attest to my presence in the Yendi general area where I spent some time doing checks in the following communities:
(1). Suson – where a clinic is near completion, close to the private residence of the Regional Minister.
(2). Bini – where a 50 MW solar farm project is being constructed.
(3). Zakoli and Nyanborligi – extension of electricity to communities.
(4). Nakpachi and Gambuhini – water for life project for Kokomba, Dagomba, and Fulani locals.
(5). Zohifong – a funeral at Mma Fuseina’s house.
(6). Nayilifong – a funeral ground.
(7). Shirijaraga – a wedding ceremony.
(8). Kpatuya – a wedding ceremony at Mr. Fuseini’s house.
(9). Guntili – a wedding ceremony at Hajia Rahinatu’s house.
(10). Gbangbalga – a wedding ceremony.
(11). Kuni – a funeral in a Konkomba community for a 59 years old opiinion leader.
(12). Yendi central – some thirty (30) widows and physically challenged persons who were gifted cooking oil, rice, mackerel, and undisclosed cash.
Mr. Stephen Ntim Ayensu must know that the NPP may be in a more serious trouble than he could imagine in the Northern Axis.
The NPP Chairman must start his reconciliation talks with Billy Akufo-Addo, who these days is behaving even within NPP circles like a megalomaniac who has survived an electric chair or seen a ghost!
On a more serious note, the sun is shining and roasting everything as if the ozone layer has been removed by the IMF from the Northern Axis.
I shall return!
