Sections of the media are calling them “NDC Lords” and they are not objecting even as they know that they Lord over nothing. They don’t help the party to pay the bills. They sacrifice nothing for the good of the party and they have failed to provide any coherent platform for party organization or reorganization.
All that they have done since the results of the December 2020 elections were announced is to piss in to the thunderous applause of the propagandist of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
These Lords of nothing should have been asking themselves, why their actions and utterances receive such loud applause from the NPP.
May be it is also true that pissing in has become such a lucrative industry that opposition political leaders cannot just help themselves. They are pissing in by heart for what it is worth.
Perhaps the most significant claim of the Lords is that the NDC is in decline. This claim is obviously based on the results of the December 2020 elections declared by Jean Mensa. A result which is disputed by all true members of the NDC.
These Lords are seriously playing the NPP game. Like NPP communicators they are asking the campaign team for the elections to produce the Pink Sheets which show that the NDC was cheated. They are refusing to listen to Tsatsu Tsikata who has been repeatedly telling them that you don’t have to have pink sheets to prove that you have been cheated in an election.
Did they read the decision of the Supreme Court which admitted that there had been vote padding?
Have they tried to find the reason why, lawyers for the Electoral Commission and Nana Akufo-Addo did everything possible to prevent Jean Mensa from entering the witness box?
In any case, even if we accept the results of the elections as declared by the Electoral Commission, how can any honest person claim that the NDC is in decline?
In the Parliamentary elections, the NDC gained 28 additional seats to equal the NPP’s 137 seats.
The results as declared by Jean Mensa also shows that John Dramani Mahama, the NDC’s presidential candidate closed the gap between him and Nana Akufo-Addo by more than 500,000 votes.
How can these amount to a decline?
The Lords also appear to be profusely confused. While some of them insist that the NDC should try not to be like the NPP, the lady amongst them was loud in proclamation that the NDC has a lot to learn from NPP.
If this is not confusion, then what can it be?
The Lords must realize that their activities and public statements have become very helpful to the propagandists of the NPP. They are those who are creating the impression of turmoil in the NDC.
Perhaps if they can find the resources to pay just the light bills of the headquarters of the party, it will be more useful than all the pissing ins.
These Lords and all the nonsense can only destroy with their feet what others have built with their heads and their feet.
