A former deputy general secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho has said the current general secretary of the largest opposition party in Ghana, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has outlived his usefulness.
Nketiah is hoping to unseat the incumbent national chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo in the upcoming delegates’ congress of the party this Saturday (17 December), but Anyidoho said a win for his former boss will be detrimental to the Umbrella Family.
Appearing on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Tuesday (13 December), Anyidoho said the NDC risks losing the 2024 election if Nketiah wins.
“I have said it, if NDC delegates make a mistake and for any reason Asiedu Nketiah becomes chairman of NDC, let’s forget about 2024 elections. We won’t win,” Anyidoho said.
“The revolution has already started in Cape Coast, and I am telling you that one person who is leaving office is Johnson Asiedu Nketiah; he has outlived his usefulness and he will leave office.”
“In Cape Coast some people took money, but I thank the women and youth within our rank and file for still holding fast to their beliefs and acting accordingly,” Anyidoho said.
