Gabby: NDC suffered worst defeat in 2016 on the back of lies

Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko says the NDC’s track record of lies and propaganda largely accounted for its massive defeat in the 2016 election

Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a stalwart of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) prides itself in treating false propaganda as a currency and spreading it like a religion.

Otchere-Darko said such attitudes contributed to the party’s defeat in the 2016 general election.

In a Facebook post, the political strategist catalogued repeated instances where the NDC created a fake document, called “Agyapadeɛ”, to portray that the Ofori Panin Fie of Akyem Abuakwa had a grand, evil scheme to steal the gold and other assets of the nation for the Ofori Panin stool and the Akyem people.

“This fake document is designed to turn as many groups in the country as possible against Okyenhene, Akufo-Addo, Ken Ofori-Atta, Gabby Otchere-Darko and, by extension, the Akyems,” Gabby’s post read in part.

“PS: In 2016 they faked a similar document and ended up suffering the worst defeat by any incumbent in the history of our country. But, the NDC treats false propaganda as a religion, devoutly.”

Below is the full post by Gabby Otchere-Darko:

One thing you have to give to the NDC is this: they have time, energy and brains to create, produce and share fake stories. If governance was measured on the scales of propaganda competency Ghana would have surpassed Singapore by now, considering the time that the NDC have spent in power as compared to all other groups.

In November 2020, the NDC propaganda factory created a fake document called “Agyapadeɛ” – with Okyenhene’s image boldly on the cover and made it seem as if the Ofori Panin Fie of Akyem Abuakwa had a grand evil scheme to steal the gold and other assets of the nation for the stool and its people.

It got little traction then but did, arguably, some considerable damage in the wider scheme of their electioneering. In mid-2021 the NDC revised the fake Agyapade3 document but it received little traction. By mid-2022, the 3rd edition with embellished updates started circulating but with limited impact. Now, they have gone a notch viral, breaking it into slides.

This fake document is designed to turn as many groups in the country as possible against Okyenhene, Akufo-Addo, Ken Ofori-Atta, Gabby Otchere-Darko and, by extension, the Akyems.

Nations are not built with the brick and mortar of deliberate, dubious and dirty divisionism.

PS: In 2016 they faked a similar document and ended up suffering the worst defeat by any incumbent in the history of our country. But, the NDC treats false propaganda as a religion, devoutly.
