Audio Attachment:Listen to Kweku Baako Jnr. on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' |
Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says the call by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to be investigated regarding the bribery scandal involving Kwesi Nyantakyi is an "infantile nonsense".
According to him, the statement was issued by some "weak and wicked minds" of the NDC.
The NDC, in a statement signed by their National Organizer Kofi Adams, asked the President to "open himself up for transparent and credible investigations by an independent body" to clear his name in the bribery scandal unearthed in the 'Number 12' exposé undertaken by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
The party is also asking the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Police Service to inform Ghanaians about the status of their investigations into the scandal.
"The National Democratic Congress has taken note of FIFA’s lifetime ban imposed on Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi, the former President of the Ghana Football Association and a close confidant of President Akuffo-Addo...FIFA's decision to ban Mr. Nyantakyi after months of rigorous investigations raises serious questions about the involvement of President Akuffo-Addo in the bribery scandal; and also brings to the fore, once again, the need for the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to inform Ghanaians about the status of their investigations into this scandal which has tarnished the image of Ghanaians and Ghana," portions of the statement read.
"We urge President Akufo-Addo to open himself up for transparent and credible investigations by an independent body to clear his name in the said matter," the NDC demanded.
But contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", Kweku Baako questioned the logic in the NDC's demand saying "to give the impression that what was there implicated the President in corruption is absolute nonsense…It’s crude and unenlightened”.
“...It is annoying. This is opportunism of the highest order; no basis...This is crass opportunism. It distorts the debate and the discourse but that is it. So predictable; weak minds and wicked minds! It doesn’t make sense…It’s pathetic”, he further said.
Mr. Baako urged the NDC to be serious and stop their "infantile nonsense, crude and cheap politics".
"He should open himself to what thing; an independent body? Who sets up that independent body? When the President’s name was mentioned, what did he do? Did he not call the CID to investigate? Are the CID not investigating? What else? Any person who feels the CID is inadequate to do anything…you have other options. Kofi Adams and his NDC can go to CHRAJ...What he (Nyantakyi) was doing was peddling influence using the name of the President and the Vice President, and others. That path the President says CID, take over and investigate it. What else do you want the President to do?" he asked.

THERE IS NO WHERE IN THAT TAPE THAT NYANTEKYI BRAGGED THAT THE PRESIDENT IS IN HIS POCKET. THAT WAS THE FABRICATION OF THE NDC(WEAK MINDS) ITS THE SAME WEAK MINDS WHO FABRICATED THAT KENNEDY AGYAPONG SAID HE WILL KILL EWES AND WE GA PEOPLE BUT WHEN THE TAPE WAS PLAYED IN OPEN COURT THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT ON THE TAPE SO THE JUDGE WAS FORCED BY NO EVIDENCE TO ACQUIT AND DISCHARGE HIM. WEAK MINDS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN DECEIVING ILLITERATE VOTERS TO RIDE ON THEIR BACK WITH LIES TO COME TO POWER TO LO OOT.PROPAGANDISTS AND LIARS.
YES MR KWAKU BAAKO YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. WEAK MINDS PEOPLE LIKE KOFI ADAMS DOES NOT HAVE A THINKING CUP DEAD MIND. JOHN MAHAMA TOOK BRIBE OF FORD THE NDC PARLIAMETARIANS FOUGHT AGAINST INDEPENDENT INQUIRY. THE BRAZIL AIR CRAFT SAGA ATTA MILLS WAS SUSPECIOUS ABOUT SOME FISHY DEALS THROUGH THE HANDS OF JOHN MAHAMA THIS SAME JOHN MAHAMA BLOCKED THE OUT COME OF THE INVESTIGATIONS AFTER THE DEATH OF ATTA MILLS. IS JOHN MAHAMA CLEAN? AN EX PRESIDENT FULL OF CREATE LOOT AND SHARE MIND. DID NYANTAKYI TOOK MONEY AND GAVE TO NANA ADDO? DID ANY MONEY GOT INTO THE HANDS OF PRESIDENT NANA ADDO? KOFI WHERE DID YOU GET MONEY TO BUY YOUR EIGHT LAND CRUISERS. YOUR DAYS WILL COME YOU HAVE NOT BEEN LEFT OF THE HOOK YET. LET YOUR JOHN MAHAMA BE INVESTIGATED FIRST BECAUSE GHANAIANS SAW HIM AS A CORRUPT MAN WHO STOLE FROM OUR COFFERS THAT WAS THE REASON WHY MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS VOTED AGAINST HIM AND WE WILL DO SAME IN 2020.

WHAT KIND OF ***barred word*** COUNTRY IS THIS
This man have no regard for principle. Only stomach direction.
Someone please tell this Kweku Baako guy to go away with all these plenty noise he keeps making all over the place. He is a stomach journalist. He speaks for his stomach and not the truth. Full of lies and non. Sense
why this Baako guy does not respect himself at times and always think that this Ghana is for him, and cause insult anytime he wishes, why? Doesn't he know that his days are numbered and be extra careful about his soul, is it because his boss said all die be died, so he can talk and die anyhow, let somebody advice him. why?
Go to hell Baako! God will punish you well we'll?
Kwaku baako spare us this. you teamed up with Anas to bring this albatross on the neck of Nana Addo. I dont understand why the npp guys can't see this. you thought Nana Addo wld have given you and ur team money in order to drop the video. the presidency thought this shouldn't be a secret and decided to make it public. Kwaku baako is too greedy and you are the cause of all these attacks from the NDC. don't defend npp because the real thinking npp people know the damage you have caused to Nana Addo for recording the video in the first place. Nana Addo breached your so called private arrangements cos he knew the financial and political consequences of asking for the video to be kept in secret and so decided to let all Ghanaians know so that he wld not have his fingers kept in your mouth. don't hypocritically defend npp cos you can't eat your cake and have it back.
