The Ashanti Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sam Pyne has jabbed former President John Mahama for using an Animal Farm analogy to link the ruling government and its appointees.
Addressing NDC supporters in Cape Coast, the former President accused the president of not showing good leadership skills for failing to sack Ayisi-Boateng, High Commissioner to South Africa.
"If you are a party officer, you can say whatever you want, there’s no problem. You can say, ooh, all jobs should go to NDC people before it goes to NPP people, that’s if you are Allotey Jacobs, you can say that because Government doesn’t pay you, tax payers don’t pay you, you haven’t sworn an oath to anybody. But when you are appointed as a high commissioner and then you swear an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of Ghana, and the Constitution of Ghana says there shall be no discrimination and that you shall do justice to all manner of persons, then you come and say...
Have you read Animal Farm before? It says all animals are equal. That’s how they started. When they did the revolution, they said all animals are equal. Then when Napoleon and the PIGS started enjoying started enjoying, they had to justify why they were enjoying so they said, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others...so, we did the ‘revolution’ and he came to power, now that the ‘pigs are enjoying’ they say some Ghanaians are more Ghanaian that others...” he said.
This comment was not well welcomed by the ruling party as they felt the former President could have done better than that.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Wednesday, Sam Pyne “If former President John Mahama is not a pathetic character, who else will be? How can you package such a character to be President of Ghana again…,? Mahama’s inference meant that all Ghanaians are pigs…Mahama should have written a very tall apology and resign as a Ghanaian and go to stay in the farm of Mr Jones’ Animal Farm which he likes very much…,” he stated.

If the former President tell Ghanaians that NPP members are "PIGS" it means he telling the Whole country. We knew him of saying words like this previously. He has missed the Goal Post from now to 2010 with this speech. Ghanaians are yearning for President who care for them NOT one who only shared the National to Family and Party Members. Now we have FREE SHS, NURSES/TEACHERS TRAINING ALLOWANCES, FUNCTIONING OF NHIS. With only this it covers every remote corner of the Country. The citizens are now comparing NPP in 10 months with NDC 8 years. NDC able to go for a loan with interest rate at 11% but president Government have rejected 5% from Creditors.
Sam Payne, look at you, a mere you without any analytical brain and unable to read in between the lines, calling on somebody to resign and go to live in the ***barred word*** farm. I am ashamed of you. Read the book and look for Prof. Yankah to help you digest the content and understand it. You braggart, who knows next to nothing are the people directing and influencing policy decisions for the nation! Ahhh! NPP, is that the men you have? Get better people because this man and Wontumi and Ken Agyepong are disgrace to the nation because they talk from their stomach and with no intellectual understanding.
Aaaaaaba! This is very fanciful if the analogy made by Mr Mahama is being interpreted literary like this then Pyn does not deserve to be even a KG pupil not to talk of a regional secretary if Npp
What is an INSULT from former President to the whole country Ghana. This man do not respect us Ghanaians AT ALL. He has been saying these when hew was president. "Killing an Ant with Bulldozer" "Opposition members are Baloney" etc. Some of us though as a President and that he speak like that but, now in Opposition where you have to respect your good self hear what he is saying. The bottom line is that He DO NOT RESPECT GHANAIANS, Period.
Sam.Payne THE PRESIDENT admonished at INDEPENDENCE square that we should be spectators but citizens at 6th March anniversary . President Clarified all that he said that a party officer is different from someone appointed and made to sware to the constitution . The he took High Commissioner Ayisi Boateng and compared to Minister of Transport so what wrong that you have taken him that he should as a Ghanaian and go the ***barred word*** as citizen.
