A leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a Parliamentarian, has threatened to shoot shoot some former presidential staffers and aides of former President John Mahama, including one-time Director of Communications at the Presidency Stan Xoese Dogbe., if the opportunity presents itself.
He reckons the supercilious conduct of some of these staffers and aides, immensely contributed to the humiliating defeat of the NDC in last year’s general elections.
Member of Parliament for Jirapa, Dr. Francis Dakura Bawaana, who was speaking in an interview Starr News, believed the posturing of Stan Dogbe and others around the then president, "caused disenchantment between the president and people" and completely alienated Mr. Mahama from the structures and the grassroots of the party.
“My brother some of those handlers if I get I will shoot them. I’m being very honest. When you go to that area they are not correct. The way some of them treated people, and I’m one of them, I’m one of those that felt really badly treated by them.
“And I don’t care, I can even call some names, they were too arrogant around the president. I mean…Stan Dogbe was one of them. You go to see the president, they will ask you to go through somebody like Stan Dogbe, and he will block you. For what reason? Do you know why the President asked the person to [come] see him? And there were instances where, his attitude to every party members was like it doesn’t matter who you are, who matters is the President.”
“They caused disenchantment between the president and people that could have been bringing in the right information from the ground. Party leaders had problems, where did this Stan Dogbe man come from? Where did he come from? Where did he come from?”
