NPP elders mounted pressure on Akufo-Addo to drop Bawumia after 2008 elections – Nyaho Tamakloe

A suspended elder of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe has indicated that after the 2008 elections, some leading members of the NPP were against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo choosing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as his running mate.

According to him, this was a grave worry to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who believed in the potential of the now Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

He said the argument put forth was the fact that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia then was a political novice and could not influence voters.

Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe indicated that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo informed him about the pressure mounted on him and asked him to groom Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

He said his grooming is what has made him (Dr Bawumia) a political colossus that he is today.

“When Nana Addo was unable to defeat  late Atta Mills, that was in 2008, I went to his house in January 2009 with others and he called me aside and said ‘Nyaho, some people don’t want Bawumia to go with me again’. I said how. He was specific about the people he was talking about. He said ‘I want you to handle Bawumia. He isn’t known in the party, that is true’.

So any question about Bawumia was thrown to me. We handled him carefully and slowly and got him into the party. We travelled with him. There was a time myself, Akufo-Addo, Bawumia himself and other members of the party, we went to Walewale, his hometown, from there we went to Bimbilla, met a large gathering of people then once again, myself, late Aliu Mahama and Bawumia, we used to meet at Aliu’s private house at African Village and strategize with Bawumia,” he disclosed in interview on Metro TV.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
