Suspended Central Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allottey Jacobs insists he will have no worries if he is eventually sacked from the NDC.
“They can go ahead and sack me from the NDC, I don’t give a damn about it,” Mr. Jacobs, who was fired up, openly dared the NDC leadership during an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
According to him, his suspension period had elapsed but he had not been reinstated into the party yet, but added that “I seriously don’t care about my suspension from the NDC anymore.”
The former NDC Central Regional Chairman, who said he had been in active politics for over five decades now, said he would not allow what he called “inferior” politicians to control his political life.
Mr. Jacobs claimed that the current leadership of the party seemed uncomfortable with his bold and unbiased pronouncements with regards to party affairs, so they suspended him.
He said he hadn’t done anything bad against the NDC, because he only said things just as they appeared and he was suspended, therefore he wasn’t bothered about his predicament in the NDC.
Koku Anyidoho’s Sack
According to him, Koku Anyidoho, a former NDC Deputy General Secretary, who he said also had his “bold and frank traits,” had also been suspended, adding that he had consoled Mr. Anyidoho to take heart.
“We have weak leadership in the NDC who don’t see eye-to-eye with some of us, who are independent minded,” Mr. Jacobs fired, touching on a lot of current issues pertaining in the NDC.
Still jabbing the party leadership, he said, “They think I and Mr. Anyidoho are fighting against the NDC, and it is hypocrisy and sycophancy for people to petition the NDC leadership to suspend us.”
More Fire
Mr. Jacobs said the NDC now boasted of some young and inexperienced politicians, whose modus operandi was to insult the elderly in the party without justification, noting that such acts did not build the party.
He said the insulting nature of such young politicians was driving several people away from the NDC, noting that even though he was treated badly, he would not leave the NDC to join any other political party.
Political Predictions
Mr. Jacobs said with his rich experience in politics, he could easily predict the outcome of events in the party, adding “I have been in active politics for 51 years now so I can see things. If you will lose an upcoming elections I can see it and predict correctly. I said it in 2016 and 2020 and we lost.”
Supports Nana Addo
Mr. Jacobs said even though he would not cross carpet to the join the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), he would never hide his affection and support for President Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr. Bawumia.
“I see Akufo-Addo as a mature President who is leading the country into prosperity; and knowing him very well, I will support him to succeed,” he said.
He also described Vice President Dr. Bawumia as a fascinating and unique leader, who has a lot of potential, stating emphatically that “Dr. Bawumia is the new kid on the block.”
