Nana Addo Is A Political Hawk...Bawumia Is A Dove- NDC
Ever since flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo selected Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as his running mate, many have been the comments passed by various government spokespersons on the issue.
In all these comments, one thing stands out quite clearly, that the electoral fortunes of the NPP will not in any way be changed despite Dr Bawumia’s selection, insists government's communicators.
The latest to speak on the issue is the Deputy Coordinator of Communications for the National Youth Employment Programme [NYEP], Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, who posits that the NPP will again be defeated in the December polls because its flagbearer has positioned himself as a “political hawk”.
According to him, Nana Addo deliberately chose the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana because he wanted someone who would kowtow to him and not voice out any dissent to his orders.“...when the term hawk is loosely used, it refers to a small to medium-size woodland bird that watches their prey from a concealed perch, swoops down and snatches it up...The prey doesn't recognize the danger until it's too late….Nana Addo preferred someone who will kowtow to him and never challenge his orders…Bawumia is a political dove whilst Nana Addo is a hawk," he said.
According to him, Nana’s only track record has to do with demonstrations he led in the past but noted even that were not good enough to qualify his as a prospective president. A lot more people, including Kweku Baako Jnr and Kwesi Pratt have caused change through similar demonstrations; Murtala said and doubted if Nana Addo had been engaged in more street agitations than the two.
Whiles disparaging Nana Addo's conduct as an Attorney-General in the erstwhile Kufuor regime, the NYEP Dep Communications Coordinator accused him of seizing every opportunity to attack President John Evans Atta Mills and alluded to the "Doctor-Do Little" and "Visionless” comments used in describing the performance of the Mills led administration as typical examples. To him, the litany of accusations listed above plus a host of others unspoken off clearly indicates that the NPP flagbearer is a "political hawk" who could not be trusted with the destiny of the nation.
