The Ashanti Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sam Pyne has jabbed former President John Mahama for using an Animal Farm analogy to link the ruling government and its appointees.
Addressing NDC supporters in Cape Coast, the former President accused the president of not showing good leadership skills for failing to sack Ayisi-Boateng, High Commissioner to South Africa.
"If you are a party officer, you can say whatever you want, there’s no problem. You can say, ooh, all jobs should go to NDC people before it goes to NPP people, that’s if you are Allotey Jacobs, you can say that because Government doesn’t pay you, tax payers don’t pay you, you haven’t sworn an oath to anybody. But when you are appointed as a high commissioner and then you swear an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of Ghana, and the Constitution of Ghana says there shall be no discrimination and that you shall do justice to all manner of persons, then you come and say...
Have you read Animal Farm before? It says all animals are equal. That’s how they started. When they did the revolution, they said all animals are equal. Then when Napoleon and the PIGS started enjoying started enjoying, they had to justify why they were enjoying so they said, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others...so, we did the ‘revolution’ and he came to power, now that the ‘pigs are enjoying’ they say some Ghanaians are more Ghanaian that others...” he said.
This comment was not well welcomed by the ruling party as they felt the former President could have done better than that.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Wednesday, Sam Pyne “If former President John Mahama is not a pathetic character, who else will be? How can you package such a character to be President of Ghana again…,? Mahama’s inference meant that all Ghanaians are pigs…Mahama should have written a very tall apology and resign as a Ghanaian and go to stay in the farm of Mr Jones’ Animal Farm which he likes very much…,” he stated.

I am forced to believe that Sam Pyne, the Ashante regional secretary of NPP doesn't understand English well. The former president only made attitudinal reference to the book "***barred word*** Farm" in which the characters represent the real nature of SOME humans in the realm of affairs. I think the NPP should organise a literature class for their secretary to understand this.
PEOPLE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON OPLESS MAHAMA AND HIS KRIMINAL NDC FRIENDS. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WORRY OURSELVES WITH A WHOLE PRESIDENT WHO TAKES FORD BRIBE TO GIVE A CONTRACT TO HIS FRIEND. A ROAD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WHICH WENT VERY BAD ONE WEEK AFTER MAHAMA PRAISING THE CONTRACTOR WHO DID A VERY POOR JOB. MAHAMA IS NOT RESPECTED IN THIS COUNTRY IF HE DOES NOT KNOW. IF I WERE HIM, I WILL NEVER TRY A COME BACK AS PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE WILL BE HUMILIATED BADLY
I don't think this comment is coming from an NPP man. You can't just take the formal prez out of context. It's unfair.
SAM PAYNE LET ME TELL YOU, EX- PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS MORE GHANAIAN THAN YOU, SO DON'T YOU EVER TELL HIM TO GO AND STAY IN THE ***barred word*** FARM. YOU RATHER DESERVE TO BE STAYING IN THE ***barred word*** FARM. I BELIEVE THAT'S HOW YOU UNDERSTAND ISSUES. ILLITERACY OF HIGHEST ORDER.
Ghana. Conviction and comfort don't live in the same block. If you're going to be convicte about something, you might have to go through some discomfort. But if you want to say comfortable, Why don't you just relax where you are? Be cause that's you're going to stay. So,are you willing to reinvent who you are?
Common sense npp lack it
This NPP secretary is having a shallow understanding, how did he become a leader at all, he has no in depth knowledge at all. He needs to read the book and and be explained to, A leader speaking like this,what are you doing for your followers to emulate.. hmmmmmmmm Anyway , his government has brought free SHS it a chance for him to go back to school and learn well WHAT AN UNCULTURED LEADER..
They can't even read. How would they comprehend. hmmmm asem oooooo!
Block headed NPP officers. Go and read ***barred word*** farm!!!
