Former Deputy General Secretary of the opposition NDC has cautioned against foreign celebrities especially from neighbouring Nigeria dabbling in the main opposition’s political campaigns in general elections.
Anyidoho contends the party’s structures must work effectively and bring all party members onboard in NDC’s campaigns instead of allowing aliens to take over its campaigns.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine, Chief Dele Momodu openly declared his support for former President Mahama in last elections campaigning vigorously and doing some PR works for the NDC on the side.
Also Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, popularly known in the showbiz world as Osuofia was as well seen in a full blown NDC advert ahead of the 2016 general elections. He was invited by former President Mahama to support his campaigns through his good friend, Chief Dele Momodu.
But the former Deputy Scribe of the NDC says such personalities must have no part to play in their campaigns anymore.
“Is it Dele Momodu or whatever his name is who will tell us who to vote for in Ghana? Is it Osuofia who will come and tell us who to vote for in Ghana? Are we not here? Don’t we know the situation more than Osuofia? …This Momodu guy, you so what, so what, he will come and tell us what? He knows Ghana more than us? He knows Anyigbe more than me? He knows Bunkpurugu more than the person who’s there? What are we talking about? All what we are saying, we shall use structures,” he told Kasapa FM Saturday.
Anyidoho clarifying a similar comment made last week said his position is not for the NDC to close it doors to Celebrities in the party’s affairs, but when it comes to the NDC’s campaigns, the party must be advised against engaging such personalities.
Koku Anyidoho at the sidelines of National Cadres conference in Koforidua last week said the party will not leave its campaign in the hands of “strangers” again.
He said the NDC lost the 2016 election because about 1 million supporters of party did not vote saying they were apathetic about how the campaign was handled.
“What message did we use to campaign ,was it a strong message ? Which people led the campaign in 2016, are we going to use the same tactics while we have cadres, party executives, National Executives yet the campaign was run by people who had any understanding of the Party’s Philosophy and History ,No! So never again will we put our campaign in the hands of strangers”.
He added “for celebrities,Yes, we enjoy their music and movies but never again should we hand over NDC’s campaign to celebrities, if they want to be part of the party, they should go and join the branches “.

these ***barred word*** Nigerians should focus on their failed state and leave GHANA ALONE...MMBOOAA
Koku go straight to the point that you don’t want the likes of John Dumelo, Selasie Ibrahim, Shatta Wale and many others to be on your campaign trail, Koku are you scared of the backlash, By the what position do you occupy now in the party, your words don’t even matter to attract any attention
I am not a fan of Koku Anyidoho but I am opining we put premium on what he is saying. This is because in as much as these foreigners contributes in any way so will they directly or indirectly have a say in the affairs of the country (directly ot indirectly)
There people here that are not open-minded. Do you also have a mother? then you have to have the same insult. Only a ***barred word*** will insult on a platform like this. But in any way let me thank you so much for your insults. May the Almighty God bless you.
Mahama paid 50000usd to wo maame T.W.E.
Please, let's accept the fact that Koku is putting up there. can tell you for the fact that Mahama paid 50,000 USD for Nigerian celebrities. But as it has been indicated here, NDC lost the election before the ballot day and that is also another fact.
@Ben hahahahahahaha Thank You. You said it all
Is koku on drugs? What type of confusion is he trying to bring. Ndc lost the elections simply because Ghanaians wanted to give nana addo a chance. Their lost has nothing to do with whether foreigners campaigned or Ghana celebrities campaigned. There were so much scandals that led to their lost. He should this pettiness and let the new leadership run the business of the party. Does he think Ghanaians were foollishh and didn't know what they were doing? How could two Nigerian celebrities cause the lost of ndc? Ndc lost long before the election was held.
