A Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho says he is ‘’getting increasingly convinced that President Nana Akufo-Addo and his Vice are too sure what they are about.’’
The outspoken politician said in an interview with Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm that, the two are overwhelmed by the enormity of the job. ‘’They still think it’s about empty promises. They’ve not been able to fulfill their 2016 campaign promises yet, they are adding on to it.’’
He was reacting to President Nana Akufo-Addo’s assurance given to Ghanaians living abroad that he will ensure the full implementation of the Representation of the People’s Amendment Law (ROPAL) to give them the opportunity to exercise their franchise in local elections.
While interacting with the Ghanaian community in Lome, Togo as part of his two-day working visit to that country, President Akufo-Addo said: “But, as you know, the arrangements for elections are in the hands of the Electoral Commission (EC); they do not lie in the hands of the government.”
He added, the EC was the only independent body that had the constitutional mandate to manage elections.
But commenting on the comments made by the president, Koku Anyidoho questioned why he [Nana Addo] raised the issue when he knew it was not within his ambit to do so.
Koku Anyidoho noted, President Nana Addo is not on top of the game and gets carried away by crowd wherever he visits. ‘’I am honestly getting worried for this country.
Politics aside, everything aside; I am convinced that the president is not really on top of the game and so he gets carried away by the crowd and continue to add on to his failed promises.’’
Koku Anyidoho questioned why Nana Addo will assure Ghanaians abroad of enforcing ROPAL despite the attack staged on the Electoral Commissioner and making unfounded allegation that the voters’ register was bloated.
‘’The president is obviously confused. We have a confused president and a more confused vice president.’’
He added, a few months ago, you made claims that the register was bloated but you have suddenly made a U-turn assuring Ghanaians abroad that you will allow them vote.
What changed? Koku Anyidoho opined that, the NPP are bound to lose the 2020 elections and because of that, they have decided to implement ROPAL.
He charged the president to come back home and pay salaries and stop going round making empty promises.

You people have started crying at all. You will rather start crying when the time comes. You will soon sell your Party Head Quarters. Do you know that JDM has said in Durban S/A that people should account to the people's Tax Payers monies? The Special Prosecutor will start collecting the monies some of you have stacked in their homes and Banks. - NOT WITCH HUNTING is peoples money which are being demanded.
Koku, your argument lacks substance. Looks like you are not sincere, lack understanding or are afraid the President is coming out with too many brilliant ideas that will move the nation and its democracy forward. Can you cite any promised that you expect to be fulfilled by now that has not been, so we can interrogate the issues. Otherwise you are just running wild and always want to speak issues without analysis or good reasoning. Remember Ghanaians know you very well and are hoping you will soon change your ways. The business as usual attitude will certainly not help your course
Koku, you should rather think about your position in NDC as a deputy General Secretary.There is the plan in NDC to boot out all the former position holders in the NDC to bring fresh faces in your party.It is better to find something to do with your life because the cheap money is going to cease to come and I have learnt Woyome has asked his lawyers to retrieved the beneficiaries of his judgement debt and your 100,000 Ghc will be paid .Mtumbansa
I am convinced day-in-day-out that the NDC is very much afraid that they would stay in opposition for a very long time. Thus, the strategy is to attack Nana Addo, Bawumia and the NPP at the least opportunity to make them bad in the eyes of the people. My beef is that, they used this method but lost the elections in utter disgrace. I wonder why they are still using a failed methodology. And their tantrums are so infantile and hold no water. They should advise themselves without prejudice. Be circumspect and make meaningful statements that will endear you to the people. Otherwise, either you choose long opposition or opposition will choose you from now on.
Corrupt John Mahama and his NDC people are confused bcos they lost the elections. Some of these guys like Koku will have to go and join Prof Atta Mills before the NDC can be revived. At the moment the NDC party is dead.
jest four months in opposition and you are complaining like this. get ready, you are going to be in opposition for another 40 years. you think the country belong to the ndc who are noted in chop chop, stealing of cars, building fuel station. jest keep quiet.
