Former NDC Presidential Staffer, Kojo Adu Asare has called for order to be restored in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Hon. Adu Asare appealed to the leadership of the party to cease fire and stop washing their party's dirty linen publicly.
To him, the rising tumult in the NDC is not a novelty since every party go through storms but he asked the leaders, particularly former NDC National Chairman Kwabena Agyei, to remain calm and direct their grievances through appropriate channels of the party.
After few months in opposition, the opposition NDC has turned turbulent with leading members accusing each other of contributing to the defeat of the party in last year's elections.
The agitations begun from the grassroots with members and sympathizers of the party blaming national, regional and district party executives for wasting money, which was meant for campaign.
With the grassroots protesting the party leaders, some kingpins are also blaming former President John Dramani Mahama for the party's defeat.
Speaking to these issues on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Hon. Adu Asare noted that former President John Mahama cannot be blamed for the defeat of the party.
According to him, he doesn't know any one person in the NDC who worked harder to clinch victory for the party in the 2016 elections more than the former President.
"From morning to dawn, the number of days he (Mahama) spent in the hinterlands campaigning . . . I don’t know any one person who can state firmly that he/she worked more than John Mahama.”
Hon. Adu Asare further stated emphatically that the party's loss of power "affected him (Mahama) more than anybody else. So, it will be hard for us to turn our mouths on him. Of course, he’s the Head."
He told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that all the executives and members of the party should share the blame because they all contributed to the defeat.
Kojo Adu Asare asked the party leaders to stop pointing fingers at the former President, saying "I, Kojo Adu Asare, is part of it. Every NDC member – over 5 million members, supporters, sympathizers – we’re all to share the blame . . . Nobody should point any guns on anybody. We’re in it together . . . It’s just a storm in a tea cup.”
He urged the leadership and members to address the concerns by subjecting themselves to the structures put in place by the party to resolve conflicts.

Adu Asare it seems we are still not getting issu3s right. The good people of Gjana did not vote against NDC because they did not appreciate the work of the party, or they believed Nana Addo's promises. They voted against the party because of the policies the Mahama administration pursued eg high taxation, arrogant young ministers and funtionaries and the apparent disconnect between party and government. How can you win an election when you introduce taxes in an election year? It looks like the government took the citizenry for granted and no one likes to be toyed with. It is not about hardwork please
TWEAAAA, MAHAMA WORKED HARD STEALING OR WHAT. CHAMA, ALLOW US TO PISSSSSS !!!!!!!!!
No, that was Kojo Twum Boston. Adu Asare was a poor carpenter who rose to riches through his wife's family. In other words, he married up. Then, when he became a presidential staffer he divorced his wife and had a kid with Jane Awoonor. I'm expecting he will be sacked from there soon since the gravy train has stopped at its station!
MAHAMBOLE WORKED HARD ON AKUA ONKOR, AN INSANE STARK ILLITERATE WHO WANTED TO BECOME THE PRESIENT OF GHANA. I WONDER WHETHER AKUA DONKOR EVEN UNDERSTANDS GDP, HIPIC AND OTHER TECHNICALITIES,YET, THIS IS THE WOMAN MAHAMBOLE DOLE GHANA'S MONEY ON MAHAMBOLE SHOWED ALL GHANAIANS THAT WE DIN'T HAVE A SERIOUS PRESIDENT THAT IS WHY WE FURIOUSLY VOTED HIM OUT---BAM!!!!

WE SWALLOWED OUR GRIEVANCES AND PROBLEMS IN GOVERNMENT, AT THE TIME, DONT SEND PARTY PROBLEMS TO THE MEDIA WAS THE SLOGAN OF THE PARTY EXECUTIVE FOR THAT REASON THEY NEVER CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES TILL NOW. I AGREE WITH YOU ANYWAY, BUT TELL ME WHICH EXECUTIVE MEMBER SPEND A MUNIT OF HIS TIME TO LISTEN TO GRASSROOT MEMBER UP TO THIS TIME. THEY ALL PRETEND TO BE BUSY ALWAYS, REFUSING TO LISTEN TO EVEN CONSTITUENCY EXECUTIVES. THEY WILL SIT IN NATIONAL AND REGION TO TAKE DECIION, BUT MEANWHILE THEY CAN NOT MENTION A SINGLE NAME OF A POLLING STATION IN THAT CONSTITUENCY. IT WAS THIS NDC ERA THAT I REALISE CONSTITUENCY EXECUTIVES ARE NOT RECOGNISE AT ALL. LOOK AT THE NUMERIUOS CHALLENGES THAT STUMMED OUR PRIMARIES, WHICH OF THE EXECUTIVE EVEN WAS CONCERN TO AFFECTED. NOBODY MADE AN ATTEMT TO EVEN MEET THE LOOSING ASPARANT FOR ATLEAST THE NEED FOR ALL US TO COME TOGETHER FOR VICTORY. PLEASE ALLOW PEOPLE TO REVOKE THEIR ANGER IT WILL RATHER HELP. THANK YOU
IT IS REALLY NAUSEATING TO HEAR THIS MORON KOJO ADU ASARE STILL PRETENDING AS IF HE ONE OF THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN GHANA. IT CAN ONLY BE IN NDC THAT SUCH A RIFF-RAFF CAN BE WALKING THE CORRIDORS OF POWER. HE WAS SO ARROGANT IN HIS SUBMISSIONS ON RADIO BEFORE THE ELECTIONS THAT NDC COULD NOT LOOSE THE ELECTIONS. THEIR RIGGING MACHINERY HAS BACK FIRED BIG TIME HENCE THEIR CONFUSION. JUST WAIT WHEN THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS UP AND RUNNING AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR SMOOTHNESS LEVEL. A FUULL LIKE YOU HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY EMPHATICALLY THAT "NANA ADDO CANNOT BE PRESIDENT" HE IS PRESIDENT SO ARE YOU GOING TO HANG YOURSELF? A HOLLOW MINDED FUULL.
This people still don't get it .Do they ?What is it about campaigning and campaigning are they talking about? There was nothing to campaign about. The people were suffering and miserable,with huge tariffs on electricity ,water and everything else .So in a situation like that when the good people knew that their suffering emanated from ineptitude,corruption, plain stup1d1ty and sheer wickedness no amount of campaigning, propaganda and lies were going to help them. The truth of the matter is that the NDC was hoping to replicate what they did in 2012.Plain cheating and afterwards say that they had retired Nana from politics . Well they've found out that the NPP is not made up of f001s. It is precisely because of f001s like this Adu Asare that Mahama lost.This worthless low-life was driving a Toyota Avensis ,receiving pay from the national purse for doing nothing.There were about 600 of such creatures all in the Jubilee House leeching off us, and now they are complaining about 110 ministers. In fact in civilised jurisdictions this goat will be in prison for his part in the ***barred word*** that went on in Brazil.
People like Adu Asare are part of those who contributed to the defeat of the Ndc. He speaks as if he is Mr. know-all because he gets his "nokofio from JDM. Unfortunately he hasn't learnt anything from their miserable defeat and repeating the same thing. If they don't take care, they would be in opposition for a very long time with people like him talking on radio and tv.
