Editor in Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr. is cautioning the New Patriotic Party (NPP) against using Dr. Wereko Brobby’s job at the Volta River Authority (VRA) and Ghana@50 as a ‘missile’ to spite him.
He said the NPP must take into consideration that their action is “unprincipled and inconsistent”, which he said gives more credence to the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) claim that Wereko Bobby failed at those institutions.
Kweku Baako was speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Friday.
Dr. Wereko Brobby, a founding member of the NPP has come under intense bashing due to comments many in the party have deemed negative to the party.
Tarzan as he is affectionately called incurred the wrath of the NPP this week when he described Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP’s star witness in the ongoing Presidential Election petition as “clueless”.
Leading members of the NPP have hurled insults at Tarzan with many questioning his loyalty to the party. Some have even suggested the leadership take disciplinary actions against him [Tarzan].
The NPP has also attributed its electoral woes to Dr. Wereko Brobby‘s conduct as boss of VRA and Chief executive of the Ghana @50 secretariat under the Kufuor administration.
But Kweku Baako on Friday said NPP would be committing political suicide if they use Ghana@50’s allegations and perception against Tarzan.
“Let’s disagree with Tarzan on issue he is raising but let not accept NDC’s propaganda that he failed at VRA and at Ghana@50 because that is patently not true”.
“I disagree with how Tarzan is dealing with his stance on the petitioners’ case but I don’t think we will do much to the integrity of politics if we begin to use VRA and Ghana@50 perceptions and allegations against him,” he stressed.
To set the records straight, Kweku Baako explained that Tarzan was exonerated from those allegations and perceptions after investigations by the Ministry of Energy, Auditor General and the National Security.
“So if you [NPP] turn around and use those things against him [Tarzan], you are telling the whole world that the [investigations] you did has no integrity,” he stressed.
On Ghana@50, Kweku Baako said an Auditor General’s report cleared Tarzan, Kwadwo Mpianim and the NPP administration respectively.
Beyond this, he said there was Ghana@50 Presidential Commission which made some finding and recommendations upon which Tarzan and Kwadwo Mpianim were prosecuted.
“When you put these things together; it is rather amazing and paradoxical for NPP people who are having problems with Tarzan to go and use those things against him”.
Kweku Baako urged the NPP to exercise restrain because “there is a better cure for the Tarzan mischief than what you are doing”.
