“The chickens have come home to roost” – NPP teases as confusion rocks #FixtheCountry Movement

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said it has been vindicated in its position that the #FixtheCountry Movement was a politically motivated group that sought to make government unpopular. A Deputy National Communications Director of the NPP, Dr. Richard Asante speaking to Samuel Mbura on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East said the current division that has hit the Movement is a clear indication that the actions of the group were sponsored by leaders and members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“The chickens have finally come home to roost. I told you [Samuel Mbura] that these things had political undertones. From their exercises and the kind of things they portray, we realized that it is the NDC that has put people together and pushing for these kinds of things. Now you see they are fighting amongst themselves,” Dr. Asante said.

He said the current division is a clear indication that the group is funded by persons in the NDC. Dr. Asante claimed that the leader of the Economic Fighter’s League (EFL) Enersto Yeboah had said that the group was funded by Former President John Dramani Mahama and that the members of the #FixtheCountry Movement had had meetings with the Former President and other members of the NDC in an apparent move to distort the thoughts of Ghanaians about government.

Dr. Asante said the current division shows that the movement was for political expediency and not some genuine love for the country as has been communicated by members of the movement.

Background

The Economic Fighters League (EFL) has announced its decision to quit the FixTheCountry Movement.

According to the group, the FixTheCountry Movement which began as a “brilliant, viral social media hashtag which simply captured exactly the demands of the Ghanaian youth disenchanted with the political governance system” has been encroached upon by persons with parochial interests.

“Sadly, the FixTheCountry conveners’ platform no longer offers a conducive environment for honest and credible mobilization. The selfish interest of some appears to be driving the movement to what we feared the most, namely, that the hard work of the numerous activists will be cultivated to the benefit of certain partisan political forces or interests.
