One on One with,,,,,,,AKwasi A Afrifa Akoto ! Entering the house of the late Okyeame Akoto at Asokwa and sitting in the room which was once used as meeting place to strategize means to combat Kwame Nkrumahs dictatorship and being surrounded by all sort of historical pictures, resonates the dedication of our forefathers in laying their lives to redeem liberty for the masses,,,,,,,, just as the names Danquah, Busia, Dombo is inextricable to the Electoral Fortunes of NPP, so will the name Akoto be the lonely dissenting voice to stifle any deviations from the Partys laid down structures,,,,,,,,, Suddenly, Akwasi Afrifa has become a fodder for kinds of articles and representations because he is standing up to the self styled authoritarian cousins of Nana Addo,,,,,,,, his forthrightness about the attempt to turn 2016 Campaign into a Abusua sem even before the battle begins is being misconstrued as attention seeking & pettiness,,,,,,,, We can pretend as much as we can but, the Asante & Akyem rivalry will play up in all internal competitions of NPP. Ashanti Region having to bear the brunt severely(NHIS Capitation), when the Party is in opposition than Kyebi & Akropong, compels their faithfuls in the Party to be sticklers of collective effort to win power at all cost than jeopardizing competence in place of Bloodlines & Family Tree,,,,,,,,,the absence of Social Media in 1996 & 2000 Campaign to highlight the flaws of Kuffour, shouldnt preclude the might of Akwasi Afrifa & others from speaking against the arrogance of Kwame Akuffo & others today,,,,,, Their overgrown School boys intolerance towards anybody they consider to be a traitor, can best be described as Apex of Paranoia,,,,,,,and how i wish they will match the NDC squarely with this buga buga sentiments when the need arise,,,,,,,,,, Essentially, the NPP having 11 M.Ps in the North & their unflinching support in Ashanti, indirectly makes the Party Chairman, Paul Afoko & Gen. Sec. Kwabena Agyapong ethnic institutions than just Executives,,,,,, any attempt to paint them as having questionable loyalty towards 2016 Elections could get the Party punished ! As the conversation got deeper, time was not on our side and we had to rush to Abbeys Park to attend Nana Addos rally,,,,,,,and the message on the faces of numerous Party loyalist present was, we cant be used as Political pawns by Social stalkers on Facebook ! ***kwabena nsafoa***
