Social Commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs says nepotism claims by the opposition NDC is 'rubbish' – after defending President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s inclusion of his relatives in government.
The former Central Regional Chairman of the opposition NDC who was speaking on Peace FM’s 'kokrokoo' morning show advised his party’s national leadership to instead focus on winning power.
“ . . It [nepotism] is in the Bible. David was surrounded by his brothers and nephews. The Commander of Israel Army was a nephew of David. If you go to the line of Moses, Moses’ elder brother was a High Priest and his sister was a prophetess,” he said.
Adding that, "There’s no politician in this country who will deny his family members employment opportunities after helping him to win power.”

MR ALLOTEY WE KNOW YOU ARE NOW NPP COOMM. OFFICER YOUR BELLE IS FULL NOW SO CONTINUE TO TALK FOR NPP
This is what I call, "SELECTIVE MEMORY SYNDROME POLITICS" in Ghana. If, it's bad for Ghana, let's pass laws and criminalize it. It's not new in Ghana. What did Mahamah do when he was in Power? He gave about 60% of all the major contracts to his brothers, sisters, cronies and corrupt criminal partners. Many youngsters from his home town and tribe without any experience were appointed directors in our government departments and agencies. Some of them are still at post, check for yourself. Mahamah almost gifted our $20 billion bauxite and manganese reserves to his brothers and partners in crime when he was leaving office with a stroke of a pen. Also, before the dubious multi million dollars contract for the airport expansion was handed over on a silver plater to his brothers and cronies, almost all the top officials from Ghana civil aviation and at the airport were replaced with his Gonja and Northern cronies. What is good for Mahamah is also good for Akuffo Addo. Let's change it and outlaw it if it's bad for Ghana. What's NDC complaining about? Is this unprecedented in Ghana or for NDC? Is this what they're going to sell to the voters to bring Mahamah and NDC back into power in 2020? They should go to hell and spare us the agony of their hypocrisy and selective memory syndrome politics.
A nonentity and personna non grata like you...its about time the party deals with such ***barred word***
Allotey is giving the NDC very good advice. NDC will have to come up with policies, programs and ideas that fast forward the Ghana beyond aid agenda. As for the nepotism, if that is what Mahama and NDC wants to use as their campaign message, then he's losing and his margins is entering the 20% region. When it comes to that nepotism, Mahama is going to lose big. Listened to snippets of Adu-Asare's submission on Asempa FM yesterday and heard him saying, ad33 ar3 y3 ky3 no kaka - to wit something we are sharing it small small amongst ourselves wo nkoa wo abusua, he said sharing!!! That is the thinking of the NDC, public service is about some sharing, basically a sort of playground where we are sharing goodies. No wonder we landed at the IMF after he launched a weeping episode on national TV in this country. NDC is never a serious political organization. And they must get serious in Ghana and Africa here, because governance and development is very, very serious business.
See Allotey too.You built a hotel, today you are out of power and you are eating big.Doggggg
ALLOTEY IS THE SAME PROCEDURE USED BY THE NPP THE NDC IS USING. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE NPP SAID MAHAMA GAVE OUR BAUXITE TO HIS BROTHER IBRAHIM. MEAN WHILE SAME SIT HAD BEEN GIVE TO THE AMERICA AND RUSSIA COMPANIES FAILED TO MINE. NOW IBRAHIM IS A GHANAIAN WITH THE CAPACITY TO MINE AND BID FOR THE CONTRACT AND WON. WERE YOU NOT IN GHANA. WHY DO YOU WANT TO PROOF THE BIBLE WRONG THAT THE SINS PEOPLE DO LIVE AFTER THEM. ALLOTEY IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HELP THE NDC THEN SHU'T UP. YOU WHAT HAVE YOU DONE AFTERWARD 'MILLS' TO PUSH THE NDC TO VICTORY 2020. BUT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT 2020 WE GO SHOW NANA
If melcom is the biggest retailer in Ghana and the owners are not Ghanaians then melcom should've been closed before the Nigerian shops. The Nigerians are our brothers.

Our sense of objective analysis as people, I quote 'Black' is very limited. Indeed, the man is making real sense.
