“Shut up” – Ato Ahwoi to Paul Adom Otchere

Founding member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Ato Ahwoi has warned political commentator Paul Adom Otchere to “shut up” over his constant ctiticism of the party’s leadership choices.

Speaking via phone on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana Show, Mr Ahwoi argued that President Mahama has barely spent a year in office, thus, conversations about who successeds him must not be entertained.

“Mahama has done only nine months of the four years, and I don’t understand why we are going through this thing of trying to select a running mate now, or a flag bearer now. It is not yet time. President Mahama has done only four months, nine months, and we have three and a half more years to go.

“For all I can say, Paul Adom-Otchere, please keep quiet and shut your mouth and let Mahama decide his steps. You never did what you are doing today when the Akufo-Addo government was in power,” he said.

He added that the party has an established process for selecting it’s leaders, one that has proved reliable over the years, and as such must be respected.

He recalled how Vice President Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang and the late President John Evans Atta Mills were elected through internal processes which many doubted but later accepted.

“You know very well that NDC, we have a way of doing our own thing. Do you remember that when [President] Atta Mills was selected as running mate by the NDC, as flag bearer by the NDC, nobody thought he was going to get it, but he got it, and he got it.

“The same thing, when people were fighting about who should be the running mate to Mahama all sorts of names were mentioned, but the NDC went and brought Naana Jane, and Naana Jane is now the vice president,” Mr. Ahwoi added.
