Comrades, my attention has been drawn to a publication in daily guide of October 23rd 2013 authored by one Prince Ibrahim Tanko about me. By my style, i would have ignored him completely since characters like that are meant to distraught you. Thank God am not a failure in life and my peers will testify to that since my primary school days to the tertiary level. So for somebody whose stock in trade is forgery of academic documents and holding himself up for titles he doesnt have, the best to do is to educate him and his likes. Let me do what i know best - educationist for sure (I toiled for it and not concocted one). Let me educate that prince. 1. First, under my reign as the Director of Elections and Treasurer for the NDC in the Northern Region, Party Agent work became attractive, lucrative and zealousness for youth activists in the region. I can boast with all my colleagues in the Regional Executive Committee that no single party agent in the last two major general elections 2008 and 2012 can say that he or she was not paid his/her allowance. The system is that, I dont deal directly with party agents but constituency executives who inturn deal directly with their agents. Mine is purely Training, Monitoring and Evaluation of the entire process. So a party agent cannot say i spend his money. Is so transparent that if there is a complain, you can easily trace it. 2. At the time I was seriously lecturing and marking scripts of diploma students then, prince Ibrahim Tanko was struggling to gain admission into Accra Polytechnic in the late 90s. He therefore does not know the Tanko Computer he is talking about thus why he asked the kind of work am doing that led to me having a house in Tamale. He is a returnee so i would not worry him much on this. If he care to know, he should ask why i was called a boggy boy when we were in opposition. 3. You cannot enter into our Parliament as a parliamentarian with forged documents. The NDC entrusted us with the power to scrutinized all aspirants who apply to contest on our ticket. Prince Ibrahim Tanko applied to contest in Mion constituency for the 2012 parliamentary primaries on our ticket. As a Director of Elections, I was a key member in the vetting committee. Prince Ibrahim presented himself as an MBA holder from London. He even put it in one of Graphic publications. He didnt know that there were academicians on the panel. He thought we are bunch of block-headed people in the executive committee. I was the lead questioner on his certificates. He was caught hands down that he didnt have MBA as he portrayed in his CV and that his highest qualification at that time was HND. He has no option than to accept it because we showed him the difference between having a certificate in a programme and taking a course but abandon it half-way. He also said he was a TEIN president of Accra Poly in 2000 which turned out to be false. His clandestine activities with the NPP round-up to election 2000 and after particularly Dr. Apraku, exposed his real intention of coming into our contest. He cleverly hid this information but he didnt know that I have a certificate in Fraud Detection and Prevention. He also forged a party ID Card from Accra but was not lucky because the amount he quoted as fee paid was in old Ghana cedis as at 2010. Comrades, my conscience will not allow me to recommend such a crook to contest on our ticket. Thank God National Executives after reading our report, quickly disqualified him. Am sure he has not forgiven me for exposing him big time. But sorry boy, I was doing my job. Next time if you are meeting a panel and I happen to be part, take your time and bring correct documents. 4. Prince Ibrahim Tanko says am playing tribal politics. This is interesting! I thought he said he is the president of a supposed Dagbon Youth Association (DYA). I can swear with the gods of Dagbon that the above association is prince Ibrahim and Prince Ibrahim is the association. By speaking against the heinous crime perpetuated against the Andani Family in 2002 by the Abudus that makes me a tribal politician by prince Ibrahim, then I can only say God save us. So prince Ibrahim does not see anything wrong with the killing of the Ya-Naa and 40 of his elders? Am not surprised. After the killing of the overlord of Dagbon, prince Ibrahim was seriously working for Dr. Apraku and the NPP until 2009 when life became unbearable for him in UK and he has to return to find solace with the NDC. God save us from such princes from ascending any throne in Dagbon. A complete hypocrite and a mole. By the way, am the only Nanumba in the 21 executive committee of the NDC in the region. I cannot remember a Nanumba person ever contesting Mion seat. 5. Last but not the least, I was the anchor-man for the whole electoral activities of the NDC in the region for the 2012 general elections. Evidence abounds in both at the Presidency and the Party Headquarters. Prince made himself a laughing stock when he described me as a greedy person. The Party in Accra and in the Region know who Tanko Rashid Computer is and his contribution to its fortunes. Moles like prince Ibrahim will want us to cook for them to eat. Maybe in Accra but not in Northern Region. Because we know you very well. Prince Ibrahim doesnt know the hell the youth he is talking about went through under the 8 year rule of his pay-masters - NPP, thus why he can say they should not allow politics and chieftaincy to divide them. Where was prince Ibrahim from 2001 to 2008? Naniama. zi nira zag boli zori (if you dont know somebody, you call him friend - a dagbani proverb) 6. My advice to him and his colleagues is that next time they should check the background of people before talking about them. I have not wasted my years thus why I have acquired knowledge and still pursuing more. I hate hypocrisy. Period.
