Propaganda Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Richard Quashigah, has made a scathing attack on MP for Lower Manya Krobo and a member of the Konadu for 2012 Campaign Team, Michael Teye Nyaunu, calling on him to go and “consult his pillow”.
Mr Quashigah’s outbursts follows reports that the NDC MP is going round the country discrediting the sitting President and leader of the NDC, Prof John Evans Atta Mills.
According to him, Hon Teye Nyaunu is seriously working against the party, trying to convince delegates not to vote for President Mills, so that the NDC can go into opposition, “to teach some people a lesson”.
He claimed the NDC MP has made it impossible for national executives to get in touch with delegates and party executives from his (Nyaunu’s) constituency “to the extent that even when you send messages, they end up in his house.”
Speaking in an interview with X-fm 95.1, Richard Quashigah said it was time Hon Teye Nyaunu “consulted his pillow and reflected on his actions and inactions, because to declare that you would work to ensure the downfall of the party sounds very strange”.
“I do not think any that any well-meaning member of the NDC will want to ensure that the party goes back into opposition. After all, we are in this not for self-gratification; but to ensure that there is meaningful development of our nation. And so if people are so inward-looking and their focus is about themselves, then I think it is most unfortunate”.
Shifting his attention to former President Jerry John Rawlings, the NDC’s National Propaganda Secretary hoped that the founder of the party will also reflect on his actions and comments in recent times, which he described as unfortunate, saying, “we hope and pray that he would not do anything to hurt his own self, which is the NDC.”
On whether President Mills can make it a second time without Former President Rawlings’ support, Mr Quashigah was quick to say that it is God who enthrones Kings, adding further, “after all, Former President Rawlings was around when we lost the 2000 and 2004 elections”.
Even though he conceded that the former President can draw massive crowds with his charisma and alluring personality, he pointed out that “as long as President Mills continues to deliver on his promises, and as long as all can see the good works, we know that victory certainly will crown us.”
