“Unless you take all Ghanaians to be fools, but Ghanaians are not fools, so the type of questions I’m asking, every Ghanaian will ask those questions and will be able to draw a conclusion that this is desperation at its highest peak”
The above comment was made by the General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia in reaction to the claim that Northern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu was bribed with GHS3.3million, two SUVs and GHS500,000.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Mustapha Hamid, spokesperson of Nana Akufo Addo, flagbearer of the NPP said President John Mahama and his brother Ibrahim, attempted bribing Bugri Naabu, with two SUVs, GHc3.3million, an additional GHc500,000 and other mouthwatering goodies so that he would resign from the party and launch an acerbic tribal campaign against flag bearer Nana Akufo-Addo by painting him as a hater of northerners.
The party further revealed that President Mahama has no commitments to develop the North but instead "only sees northerners as pawns in his political chess game, who he must manipulate to perpetuate himself in power in order to continue with the rape of the public purse. Many communities across the north do not have drinking water. And when their brother, who is president, purports to give them water in the form of boreholes, he only uses it as an avenue to make money for himself and his family and friends. For every borehole that President Mahama sinks in the north, five villages are denied same. Northerners are still seething with anger over the 60,000 cedis per borehole project. The story of SADA and the rape of the north, has become the butt of many jokes in Ghana."
But reacting to the claim in an interview on Class91.3FM, Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito said the story was cooked up by the NPP.
He wondered why Mustapha Hamid was the one speaking on the issue when Bugri Naabu or his spokesperson should be those speaking.
“…If I have GHS10 to pay or to bribe anybody to speak for me, it is not Bugri Naabu that I’ll be wasting that money on. NPP itself knows. And this issue where he cannot even speak for himself shows that he cannot even be speaking for anybody. A person who cannot even speak for himself, cannot be able to speak for another person. I think that if you are a person who people would want to buy, then you must demonstrate that you can even speak on matters concerning you. Since Bugri Naabu was made regional chairman of NPP, ask the NPP people themselves what impact has he made, what has been his impact? I mean do you think that somebody becomes so rich that he doesn’t know what to use his money for then he goes throwing the money away buying people who cannot speak to speak for him?
I am saying that this whole story is something that is not worthy of the airtime you are spending on it. If Bugri Naabu claims somebody has bribed him, he can speak or his spokesperson can speak, but I know Mustapha Hamid is the spokesperson for Nana Addo and then Nana Addo’s campaign manager, so they have come together and realised that the campaign is going so bad for Nana Addo so: ‘let us throw in any mud hoping that that mud will stick’, but Ghanaians are wiser than what they take them to be. Everybody thinks that: ‘Oh, we have lost so it doesn’t matter, let’s throw anything inside. That is what they are doing. I’m not sure this is going to sway any sensible Ghanaian into voting for Nana Addo,” Asiedu Nketia said.

All the General Mosquitoe is saying is that because the story was cooked in Nana Addo's kitchen, some one close to him must serve it. It it was true, Naabu would have spoken of if himself. More so he is saying Naabu is not worth even 1000 Cedis as a spokesman for NDC. Where's your dead brain.
General baako pe..Bam! no size
This is a wiser general secretary, very simple answer to NPP concocted story and they are destroyed. Nana's problem is that he has surrounded himself with intelligent people like Hamid, Bugri Naabu, Mac Manu, Anthony Karbo, Awuku e.t.c. and they are the people destroying him. This false allegation which was even dead on arrival will rather sink NPP the more and help Mahama win convincingly.
The only general in Ghanaians political space. NPP stop thinking independent Ghanaians are ***barred word*** who can't read between the lines. You'll wake up on the dawn of 9th December 2016 to face the reality that God cannot be mocked. You're using his name in vain and pastors around you can't even tell you the truth.
Asiedu "Nkatee", I have always said that you only know how to talk but you don't make sense. All am getting from your long talk is that Bugri Naabu should have held the press conference himself or his spokes person and not the spokes person of Nana Addo. What has that got to do with the issue at stake? If someone slaps me and I do not say it myself and someone else says it, does that mean I was not slapped? So many facts were thrown out, I was expecting you to address them only for you to spew your usual garbage. Mtcheeew!
F.u.ck o.ff!!The two of u and all ndc ppl
Honestly Asiedu Nketia is wiser than his generation. Look at how he has in a minute rubbished what NPP took months to build. By the way I have one question for NPP, is the battle no longer for the Lord? And you think God is going to back falsehood? Now I perceive NPP has lost this elections. Is there no wise man in the party. Okay we are waiting for your next cooked story
THE ONLY GENERAL IN GHANAIAN POLITICS! MORE FAYA! JM TOASO!
