For sometimes now I have decided to take a break from telling everyone everything that is wrong in the Nandom Constituency. For some reasons I assumed that everyone who matters in the progress and growth of our great tradition in the Constituency knows already the right posturing for the growth of the party. But recent happenings in Nandom in the NPP camp post a different scenario and therefore the edge to make known the untold truths hidden under the cover of a white gown. It’s not all well in the camp of the NPP in Nandom. The politics of ‘The Boss’ leaves much to be desired. Too often it is a cynical charade employed as a political tactic to promoting himself and damaging the other. Now, before you dismiss me as NPP and a supporter of the Hon. Ambrose Der, which is a habit of those sycophantic elements around him, I am a recognised member of the National Communication Team of our great party, the NPP. I campaigned independently and vigorously for the party in 2016. My views vary issue-to-issue but more central to the monopolised politics of Hon Ambrose Dery. I believe that in as much as we endear to hold on to the Nandom seat for as long as we want, hypocrisy and exploitation should be intolerable, regardless of the perpetrators. In my last epistle to commemorate the 63rd birthday of the Honourable MP and Minister of the Interior, which occasioned a rather stomach-directed reply from the Constituency secretary, I reiterated our collective efforts in the rebirth of partisan politics in Nandom from the early 2000s. The reply, instead of addressing the issues I raised, belaboured the usual vendettas and personalised sentimentalism. This however did not come to me as a surprise because when you join the dinner table without knowing the source of the food and it’s preparations, the taste of the food will endear you to losing your manners. Those who were around in the early hours of the dawn of NPP politics and party organisation can comprehend deeply the statement I related above. Napoleon Hill, wrote in his book, “Outwitting the Devil” that “Fear is the tool of a man-made Devil. Self-confident faith in one’s self is both the man-made weapon which defeats this Devil and the man-made tool which builds a triumphant life. And it is more than that. It is a link to the irresistible forces of the universe which stand behind a man who does not believe in failure and defeat as being anything but temporary experiences.” This quote needs no further interpretation. It is a befitting statement for the rise of partisan politics in Nandom. It was with self-confident faith in the youths of Nandom in the years referenced above that we were able to overcome this man-made Devil call FEAR. I could go on, but I believe you got the gist. Yes, the political future of Nandom is well situated in the context of Napoleon Hill’s statement. Even Hon. Ambrose Der knows well that whatever fruits he enjoys today are the labour of people who cleared the paths before his joining the Party in 2003. In Nandom NPP today, we are confronted with yet another man-made Devil. A Devil we all thought we had conquered some years ago. This time, the devil isn’t the fear of political identity as it was before the 2000s, it’s the fear of one’s contribution being rejected by a party he or she belongs to. This rejection is orchestrated by the hard and soft influences of the MP and party executives in the Constituency. It is for a disingenuous agenda implored by the MP to create disaffection and discourage party activism. You might not notice its impact now, particularly when you are a political dependant and an opportunist around the MP. But I tell you, it’s a linear extrapolation of several trends on vivid display. This, when not addressed, will kill party activism, sacrifices and hard work. The question needing answer is who is competing with the MP in Nandom NPP? What are his fears for colonizing the party in Nandom? In my Political experience , political party activism is a process of working to accomplish a collective party goal. This is most convenient through attitudinal and behavioural traits of the cohorts, in particular, the socioeconomic status of activists. Their respective contributions form the basis for growth and enthusiasm within the rank and file of the party. This doesn’t matter if one is a patron activist, platform activist or foot soldier activist. Party activists become contributors to the overall party agenda because they expect their contributions to spur up the party’s numerical simulation. Elsewhere in the country, this isn’t a herculean task for stakeholders in the Party. In Nandom’s NPP, contribution to the Party in the form of your time, money, party t-shirts and paraphernalia are much more heavy duty on the activist than the activist’s search for the time, money, party t-shirts and paraphernalia. You will be treated as though you are carrying stolen items. This has been ongoing for a very long time since 2010. This time, the party’s Presidential candidate’s and Parliamentary candidate’s embroidery designed t-shirts were refused by the Parliamentary candidate, Hon. Ambrose Dery, and the Constituency Chairman and Secretary. What the reasons are, we’re yet to know. Mr. Alois K. Mohl, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Social Investment Fund (SIF), undisputedly one of the industrious card bearing members of the NPP in Nandom. He’s one of the few pillars upon which the party’s shoulders rest. His benevolence and philanthropic efforts in helping and supporting party structures can never be underestimated. Unfortunately, his actions on countless times have received suspension and most of the time treated with scorn and disdain. Overall, the MP has never lost an opportunity to tell people that individuals who have had the opportunity of being appointed by the president from the area have developed cold feet towards supporting the party’s activities in the constituency.
