Eastern Regional Youth Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress,Richard Etornam Nyarko has hit back at attempt by some faceless-coward individuals to counter his suggestion for Julius Debrah be made running mate for John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general election.
The Regional Youth organizer recently suggested that the 2020 running mate to John Dramani Mahama should be changed stating that similar decisions in the past helped maximized chances of the party to win power.
Prof.Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang,former Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast also a former Minister of Education was the running mate for John Dramani Mahama in 2020 Presidential election which saw the party defeated with 47.36% votes against 51.30% votes secured by incumbent President Nana Akufo Addo.
Speaking to the media in Koforidua Technical University during General Meeting on Friday August 11,2022 by the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) of the NDC, Richard Etornam Nyarko justified his call for change of running mate stating that “there are records to that, in 2000 President Mills of blessed memory brought Martin Amidu, in 2004 was changed with Dr. Mumuni , in 2008 it was President Mahama , there was no repetition of a running mates even though I am not trying to preempt the President but we are only trying to pick our minds and I think that if a new person is appointed as the running mate and the person is already on the grounds is fantastic for the NDC to win”
Shortly after the publication went viral with many in agreement, an anonymous publication was made on Ghanaweb ostensibly to counter the Regional Youth Organizer’s suggestion.
The publication, which has no author neither identifiable names as sources of claim, stated that, 28 out of 33 constituencies youth organizers in the Eastern Region disagree with the position of the Regional youth organizer.
Responding to the malicious publication, Richard Etornam Nyarko said “the attempt by Ghanaweb to counter my assertion on H.E John D. Mahama to choose Honorable Julius Debrah, is dead on arrival. The fictional story of 28 out of 33 constituencies opposing the Regional Youth Organizer, is just meant to deceive the gullible. Also, the NPP is not a textbook to the NDC in regard to the choice of leaders”.
He added that ” the intriguing part is how this crop of propagandists failed to man up to their actions. With no Constituency Youth Organizer aligning with the statement, it is clear evidence of a puppeteer in a bunker calling shots via the news outlet. Kindly disregard the article by Ghanaweb dated 14th August, 2023 that suggests a vast majority of the Constituency Youth Organizers have suggested contrary to what the Commander said.
