Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has censured Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur over his line of politicking and likened him to a "serial caller".
He noted that Vice President Amissah-Arthur has lowered himself into being a serial caller, hence providing opportunities for his political opponents to run him down.
Kweku Baako urged Mr. Amissah-Arthur to elevate his standards with particular reference to his communication skills before he mounts any political platform.
During the Veep's tour of the Ashanti Region last week, he implored supporters and members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to be "extra vigilant" because the party "needs help. On December 7, some people will try to cheat the NDC. Be very vigilant to ensure no one succeeds in cheating us".
Then on Friday at a campaign event in the Eastern Region, Mr Amissah-Arthur told party activists that short people need to be carried to help them see President Mahama’s massive achievements, a humorous jab that sent supporters of the ruling party into ecstastic laughter.
Whiles addressing the charged crowd, the attention of his audience drifted to a young woman in her twenties who was 'vertically challenged' and was carried shoulder high by some of the supporters present in order for her to see what was happening on the dais.
Distracted by the incident, the Vice-President paused for a while to ask why the woman had been carried. The crowd responded that it was to help the young voter get a better view of the campaign event.
Served with what appeared to be an irresistible analogy, the Vice-President told the cheering audience that short people should be carried in order for them to see the achievements of President Mahama.
Commenting on the Vice-President's remarks during a panel discussion on PeaceFM's "KOKROKOO", Kweku Baako advised Mr. Amissah-Arthur to be circumspect in his utterances.
“There are serious issues out there that must be raised and marketed to the electorates. If its serial callers making the baseless allegation by the Vice President, I will understand. But if a whole Vice President will descend low to a level of a serial caller, then it is very worrying. What I’m saying about him is so weighty that I can’t freely say it. I just don’t understand it; to be honest this is a note of caution.
"Some of us respect him so he should stop making such comments. Like the one that he asked for someone in a crowd of supporters to be lifted because short people cannot see Mahama’s achievement which we were later told was a joke. I’m a typical Fante, and I enjoy jokes and can perform comedies, but at certain stages comedy turns into a tragedy, so the big men should know how to handle themselves,” the seasoned journalist said.
Describing Mr. Amissah-Arthur as a “level headed and very calm” gentleman, Kweku Baako strongly believed his accusations about election rigging will land him into trouble.
"Where did he get it from? When one mounts the political platform, the person’s real self gets lost and he/she gets into an entirely different mode. If I’m to analyze such a person I struggle, so if he’s listening to us he should calm done on his comments before he’s dragged into the gutter," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Wednesday edition of the show.

Look at this id-ot Peekay the lotosa, abai, you? insulting Akufo Addo? eeii wonders will never end ooo God save us from the NDC. Amissah Arthur even looks incompetent
Always NDC is full of fooooooools
Because of ndc st*pidity and can't think far is the reason why this country is in crisis ,the only thing they know is insult,create,lo*t and share nothing else. A piece of advise from a concern citizen is a problem to these vagab*nds, people with no aim and no future get frustrated and agitated by the least thing. I can't think far how some people are so enthused with a thi*f and an incompetent leader who doesn't even think of the people who are following him but his wife,family,friends and cronies and these people are fallen over themselves at social media platforms defending the indefensible, it's ridiculous. Kweku let them say whatever for you've lived your life so well.Everyone has been a youth before but to be an adult and the elderly is the problem, how prepared are you to face that challenge? If at your age,you don't have an amount equivalent to your age in thousands eg 30 years and you don't have GHc30,000 in your accounts and you following John mahama and his family who are swimming in millions then you have a problem.
The VEEP will not listen to people like Baako who smoke weed for all their youthful years. the weed he admitted smoking in the past is now affecting his brain
this same man insulted a chief as a ***barred word*** for endorsing JM but went into hiding when Nana was endorsed by other chiefs. Now tell me if he is not a serial caller himself?
I cant think far ooo. since when has this baako man ben made an advisor to the VEEP? the man is just blowing hot air. no sense at all in his myopic argument
So accusing people of planning to rig elections make one a serial caller? Hmmm. Then the 3 that went to the supreme court were serial callers huh? Wonders
the real serial caller is kweku baako himself. he has been npp's number 1 serial caller. when they make bad comments, they call on him to water it down. when the ndc makes a little comment, he comes out to call them names. he is always hopping from one station to another with his evil agenda of imposing the short man on us.
Mr loudmouth. please get serious. you go into hiding when serial callers like nana addo and bawumiah make unsubstantiated comments. let us be and stop this hypocrisy
