Audio Attachment: Listen to Allotey Jacobs on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' |
NDC Central Regional Chairman, Allotey Jacobs says the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is distorting facts in order to celebrate their own set of heroes on 4th August.
According to Allotey Jacobs, President Akufo-Addo's proposal for 4th August to be legislated as "Founders Day" is merely an attempt to place importance on the founding fathers of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC).
But in a stern voice, Allotey bellowed on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' that the UGCC did nothing substantial to warrant a holiday in their honour.
To him, the UGCC was not a political party but a "club of aristocrats" who were not serious to fight for the country's independence.
He told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that the party enlisted support and services of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's First President, because "Nkrumah was then fighting for African independence" but "all those people (in the UGCC) were not serious. They weren’t serious and that’s why they brought Kwame Nkrumah . . . "
“Why are you distorting history . . . Kwami I don’t see the UGCC as a party. It was a club. A club of aristocrats; let’s sit and drink . . . If truly we want to know people who fought for the independence of this country let’s start from Yaa Asantewaa and then Aborigines’ Rights Society . . . What specifically they did do? They were not serious. So, how do we recognize you?” he quizzed.
Allotey further expressed disappointment in President Akufo-Addo for proposing the Founders' Day, disclosing that the President was "an Nkrumahist. Is he forgetting his roots as a hardcore socialist that, today, he thinks we should honour some people that we’re made to believe they fought for this country? No, not at all! They were ‘let’s eat and drink, tomorrow we die people'. It was a social club for them to fraternize among themselves”.

please save your beath. this allotey jacobs is some thinand dim witted oaf!!!!!!
Without UGCC who on earth would have heard of Nkrumah to the extent of bringing him from his hide out at their very own expense only for you today to tell us those who saw something good in your idol to bring him into the lime light are not serious, who can be more serious than the those people, typically black man mentality, God forgive us all.....
Stuuuuuuppid, Nkrumah was penniless in Londong and it was UGCC "aristocrats" who paid for his passage home and to set him up in Ghana. You eddddiott. No wonder only a party loaded with foooooooooooooools, immmbeccilles and bufffoooons i will have use for you.
Now the NDC has become Nkrumaists, fighting for Nkrumah and relegating their own founder (JJ Rawlings) to the dustbin. Was it not the NDC(PP) that snatched the single parliamentary seat from Samia Nkrumah? Were they not the same bunch who sacked Sekou Nkrumah after weeks of his service? Did they not sell all the factories built by Nkrumah to their cronies? Did they not tell Ivor Greenstreet that he needed some "elevation" to see the good in NDC....simply because he is in a wheelchair? This NDC(PP) is such a vile, dishonest and wicked party, whose members will do anything to gain capital. Opposition should forever be their portion.
Mr Alottey Jacobs God forgive you your sins, for you to insult the members of the UGCC that they were not serious.The politics you do today is not the same in the colonial era. The members have to work and get money to finance the struggle for independence.When Osagyefo came, where he will live,the car he will use,and office he operates from were all provided by the other members, how could people who are not serious do all these for the country.You entered into politics and short time you have built Allotey Jacobs market mall in Cape Coast.The money they could have used to look after their families,they rather used it to emancipate Ghana, today you sit at the studio to insult them,may God forgive you.J.B Danquah single handedly went to Britain to present petitions upon petition after the Elliot report to build one university in the whole west Africa at Ibadan in Nigeria,all the trip and hotel bills were paid by him and the British government changed their mind and built the University oF Ghana at legon. Can you ***barred word*** and quantify the benefits of the university, Ghana has got from the university.Talk is cheap so Allotey can talk. J.B.Danquah could have built mansions but he used all his resources including the other members to finance the struggle for independence.Long live Ghana.
Now I see, so it was the same CPP people like Allotey Jacobs and former Prez. Mahama, who supported JJ Rawlings' Coup to overthrow the first Northen President of Ghana Dr. Hilla Limann, who won the election on the ticket of the CPP in 1979. That is why some of us of the CCP root will never ever vote for the NDC, or any CPP that has Kwesi Pratt as a member. At least the NPP is honest in dealing with Ghanaians, so my family and I will always vote for the NPP
to hide their identity they have changed thei Name several times over the years from UGCC to UP to PP and today NPP.Although the Name has been changed several times over the years the idiology remains the same till today .How can one claim this group of greedy individualists are for ghanaians when this group was against ghans Independence and went as far as sending a Delegation to briain to oppose Ghanas Independence.Their pretence today can only ***barred word*** those who are ***barred word*** of our history
I believe in a an aristocratic party that cares more about the masses than a socialist party that doesn't care about the masses. Tell me what NDC as a socialist party has done for Ghana. Even Rawlings your founder is not a fan of Kwame Nkrumah so how can your party align yourself to Nkrumah?
ALWAYS SPEWING ***barred word***. THE POLITICAL PARTY OF THE ARISTOCRATS STILL REIGNS WHILE KWAME NKRUMA'S PARTY IS TOTALLY RUINED. IT IS THE END THAT MATTERS AND DETERMINES THE WINNER!!!!!!
