The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is alleging that the Paramount Chief of Yeji in the Brong Ahafo region, Nana Pemapin Yaw Kagbrese, is a card-bearing member of the governing National Democracy Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n
According to Nana Obiri Boahen, the Chief\u2019s close affiliation to the NDC makes his endorsement of President Mahama for a second term in office unsurprising.<\/p>\n
Nana Pemapin Yaw Kagbrese, who doubles as the President of the Brong Ahafo regional House of Chiefs called on Ghanaians to vote massively for the president in the December polls.<\/p>\n
While addressing a gathering of elders and people of Yeji when President John Mahama visited the area as part of his Brong Ahafo regional tour today [October 4], Nana Pemapin Yaw Kagbrese said the President had achieved a lot in his first term of office in spite of the numerous challenges he faced hence deserved a second term.<\/p>\n
But speaking on Eyewitness News,<\/strong> the NPP\u2019s Nana Obiri Boahen said \u201cthe Omanhene of Yeji is a well-known NDC activist. He has been with the NDC for so many years and I even believe he is a card-bearing member… by virtue of the [fact that he is] NDC, he is a board member of a company so for some of us, we are not worried at all.\u201d<\/p>\n When he was challenged by host, Richard Dela Sky to provide evidence the Chief was a card-bearing member of the NDC, Nana Obiri-Boahen dared the chief to publicly deny his status in the NDC.<\/p>\n He further alleged that there were other well-known Chiefs in the country who were secretly campaigning for the NDC.<\/p>\n On whether he thought similar endorsements for the NPP\u2019s Nana Akufo Addo by some chiefs was because they chiefs were members of the NPP, Nana Obiri-Boahen said those chiefs endorsed Nana Addo based on the their realization of a need for a change in government.<\/p>\n He further said, he was confident that in spite of the endorsements for President, he [Mahama] will lose the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n \u2018Mahama on Brong Ahafo tour\u2019 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n President Mahama who is currently on a 5-day campaign tour of the region expected to tour a number of constituencies in the region with his \u2018Changing Lives and Transforming Ghana\u2019 agenda to woo the electorates to renew his mandate for the second term.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Jonas Nyabor\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is alleging that the Paramount Chief of Yeji in the Brong Ahafo region, Nana Pemapin Yaw Kagbrese, is a card-bearing member of the governing National Democracy Congress (NDC).
