Obed descends on Kwabena Adjei

Former Chairman of the National Democratic Congress Dr Obed Asamoah has questioned the competence of aspirants vying for national positions in the governing party.

According to him, the “characters” vying for positions in the party are not competent but are seeking the positions for personal benefits.

His successor Dr Kwabena Adjei who is seeking reelection appears to be worst hit by the attack.

The former Attorney General who was launching his new book told Joy News’ Beatrice Adu that Dr Adjei is insincere and is playing a politics of convenience.

Dr Adjei has been vehement in his criticism of persons he accused of infiltrating the party.

According to him, the persons, whose names he failed to mention have abandoned the philosophy of probity and accountability which formed the foundation of the NDC and are pursuing an agenda of vote buying, mudslinging and vile propaganda. But in a subtle response Dr Obed Asamoah hinted that Dr Adjei has no right to accuse people of infiltrating the party.

He said even Dr Adjei was not an NDC stalk. According to him, Dr Adjei was then a member of the Progress Party. It was through him (Dr Asamoah) that the incumbent chair became a member of the NDC.

Dr Asamoah’s comments come only hours to the much anticipated Congress that would elect new executives for the NDC.

He would not comment on who would win what in the elections except to conclude most of the aspirants are not competent.
