Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs has refuted claims that Martin Amidu is an arrogant person.
According to Allotey Jacobs, he has "never seen Martin as an arrogant person, never".
He explained to host Kwami Sefa Kayi that Mr. Amidu only displayed his true character traits during his vetting before the Parliamentary Appointments Committee on Tuesday, February 13, 2018.
He noted on Kokrokoo on Peace FM that Mr. Amidu is one person who likes challenges and so will delightfully take up the take up gauntlet to rid the country of corruption.
“I’ve never seen Martin as an arrogant person, never. And never will I say that Martin is arrogant. Martin displayed his true character yesterday. That is Martin for you…Martin is somebody who likes challenges. That is him. If you challenge him, he will come for it”.
Allotey Jacobs sought to clarify reasons why some people, particularly within the NDC, think Mr. Amidu is arrogant explaining that he (Mr. Amidu) is embittered towards the party due to certain experiences.
To him, the NDC should have handled him in a better way when they found out about his bitterness and believed the issue could have been ironed out amicably.
“The party should have sat down with Martin to find out the problem. The party should have sat him down. I believe that the party has failed in that angle for being unable to call Martin up and broach the subject. Yes, you cannot manage Martin. Martin is unmanageable. That's his beliefs, his principles; he will never compromise principles. He says it as it is. Sometimes, you might think he is cheeky…but you see there are characters like that from the way they were brought up. So, sometimes, we need to infuse ourselves into their world,” Allotey Jacobs stated.

Now that the NDC party is in opposition, Allotey Jacobs has changed his mouth. Himself, Otokunor, Kwakye Ofosu and the other "sharp teethers" dealt ruthlessly with Martin (through insults) after the confrontation with Mills. Allotey even suggested that the man is mentally deranged and needs psychiatric attention. Today he has made a fantastic U-turn, claiming the NDC didn't treat Martin well? Perhaps Allotey is saying this to win some sympathy, now that Martin is going to have powers to deal with the looters, including Allotey. Sorry Allotey, it is too late to make amends. Martin will STRIKE at all cost. Just get ready for your turn if you took part in the loot.
Who made this simpa panyi a spokesman for the NDC?
The Amidu Guy is a seriously arrogant individual! It was very clear during the vetting! I hope he himself doesn't make any mistake that will betray him. He should remember he is as human as anyone else. He could also make a mistake
For once, Allotey has spoken some commonsense because he has always been a ***barred word***.
As for this one die you have spoken the real thruth.
Some NDC praising him, while others condemn him? Other in court against him? Oh, NDC!
