An aide to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Andy Owusu has accused the Vice Chancellor of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) of taking deliberate actions to make the current administration unpopular.
In a statement released by him, he stated that “I'm credibly informed that, the VC was fairly briefed on the possible outcome of his autocratic stands, but, he refused to give a listening ears to the calls from students representative, national security and even people in government. A stands, I find very regrettable and clearly the root cause of the unfortunate incident.”
Full statement below...
PROF. OBIRI DANSO, A FORMER SECRETARY TO THE PNDC-ASHANTI REGION CHAPTER, IS DOING NDC'S BIDDING AT KNUST
I have observed closely the unfortunate incident that happened at KNUST few days ago; an avoidable situation, a dialogue, and prudent consensus could have been built to find a pathway or a decent solution to have averted the uproar.
But, the contrary happened and the outcome has been regrettable and unacceptable. Properties worth millions of Ghana Cedis have been vandalized, all because of the insensitivity posture or stands of the Vice Chancellor of KNUST to the demands of his students and even higher authorities.
Prof. Obiri Danso, the VC who was well known a former Secretary to the then PNDC Ashanti Regional Chapter. He worked together with Mr. Frank Mensah, Mr. Antwi Agyei, immediate former Board Chairman of metro mass to reorganize the NDC Ashanti Regional Chapter in the 80s and 90s. A reorganisation that was fruitless.
But after all these periods, he has on record used his office at all times to frustrate the NPP in opposition and now during our time in government. He on several occasions denied the NPP entry into the university during our time in opposition and I'm not surprise he's doing everything to make an NPP government unpopular.
I, without any equivocation squarely blame it all on the VC of the university. A man known to be doing the bidding of the NDC. It's an open secret that all attempts been made by Prof. Obiri Danso is to make the NPP government unpopular at the merit of the NDC has been in bed with.
I'm credibly informed that, the VC was fairly briefed on the possible outcome of his autocratic stands, but, he refused to give a listening ears to the calls from students representative, national security and even people in government. A stands, I find very regrettable and clearly the root cause of the unfortunate incident.
I therefore call on the President, the Minister of Education and the university council not to waste any resources, being it money, time or whatever into any investigations.
All evidence are clear to dismiss the Prof Obiri Danso; he masterminded the whole situation, by polarizing the atmosphere with his autocratic stands to propel these forms of action from the students only to make the government unpopular. So, I humbly ask that he will be dismissed before he creates further problems all in the name of doing the NDC's bidding.
....Signed....
Andy Owusu

Ndcfuo,you are all ***barred word*** your minds are full of maggots. President Kuffuor was a member through his party because PNDC asked for all inclusive government and the PFP which became NPP chose President Kuffuor to represent the party but after sometime he exited because his ideology wasn't in conformity with the PNDC! this one too ndc don't understand? Prof. Obiri Danso was appointed by John Dramani Mahama and who said an ndc has good mind about Ghana? most of them are on drugs being it intellectuals or whatever and they try to paint others like them and that is the act of drug addicts and thi*eves,they always want to make others look like them. You just can't understand the actions of an ndc, their everything looks like people out if their minds,if not how can John mahama and his people plant seeds during the dry season in the north,how come ndc will use such a huge amount in nkomfem and turn to tell us they flew to Burkina so the money has been wasted, how come they can cause the state to lose such amount on bus branding for what? was that something profitable to the people and that was ndc for you! no sane mind will ever do that. The act of this VC is an act of a lunatic, somebody out of his mind, why would you by your own will do something that will bring trouble to the whole nation ,that's the act of an ndc whose mind is frozen. Ndc want power but don't want to accept why they lost power by so huge margin unprecedented very humiliating and disgraceful, instead of sitting down to see what happened before reorganization and better understanding of the people they are running and chasing a wild goose, they are still in a dreamland with 2020 we will win!! with what and on what message and they don't know these are the people Ghana has to live with through the building of their nation. "The KNUST VC MUST GO "
This is a very unfortunate statement. Any well meaning Ghanaian will never subject this issue to politics. Would you then say that all the renovation, infrastructural development and all the good policies the VC has brought since assumption of office are all means of making the president unpopular? Then one will be quick to ask if you by this mean to say that the President dislikes development, change and discipline, the same things he talks about everyday?
These NPP guys are not even smart to understand that the more they keep accusing managers of institutions who were appointed by the former government, the more Ghanaians see through their agenda to remove them. They did it to governor of bank of Ghana and he resigned. They did it to sack Charlotte osei, they are doing it to the auditor general and now they want the knust vice chancellor sacked.
Id.iot like you. Ex -President J.A Koufour was PNDC member.
Listen to this thing too. some people really need elevation to understand issues. I pity those who spent time and resources to give audience to this ***barred word*** to speak.
the holy book says "even the s__t--u__p--id one when he keeps quite is considered to be w..i--s__e!!!(Wise) I just wish people will do some diligent investigation into this matter before spewing vomit and thinking its advice. How does implementing regulations amount to making a government unpopular? When a curfew is imposed it has a reason. The university imposed a ban on vigil. Why were the students arrested not observing the ban??? Did they not sign the acceptance to be obedient to the laws and regulations of the university? So why were they in blatant disregard of the ban? What was the alumni doing with that group at that time of the night when the laws prevent non residents to be in the hall after 10pm? Your support for violence is the reason your invincible or whatever forces you call them are making your government unpopular these days...you keep supporting violence ...and we will also advice ourselves mmeetcheewww
