Pay bloggers to make you popular instead of contesting Mahama-Kofi Adams to NDC flag bearers.
NDC Member of Parliament(MP) for Buem constituency, Kofi Adams, has disclosed that it will only be wise for anybody who will decide to contest former President Mahama for the 2024 flagbearership of the NDC to pay bloggers with the campaign money for them to make him or her popular.
Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ programme, the former National Organizer of the party explained that he cannot understand why somebody would want to contest former President John Dramani Mahama who has already been marketed and known within the party and the country at large.
“This is not the time we will need to do try and error or market a new candidate. Former President John Manhama is tried and tested and has proven that he is very popular in the country. He won over six million votes in the last elections and I don’t think it will be proper for the party to choose a new candidate over him,” Kofi Adams said.
Whiles voicing his support for the idea of potential candidates contesting against the former President for the flagbearer position of the party, Kofi Adams pointed out that it will only be proper and wise for who ever decides to contest him, to spend that money on bloggers so that they can make him popular.
He maintains though he has not heard from Dr. Kwabena Duffour on his decision to contest the former leader of the party, he believes that Dr. Duffour will not make such a grave mistake to contest the man of the moment.

The Black Sheep of NDC: Mfantsiman Cries Out for Relief – Journalist Bemoans
In a stark contrast to the efforts of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama’s administration and various government officials, one member of parliament has been singled out for neglect and ineptitude. Hon. Ebenezer Prince Arhin (PhD), the MP for Mfantsiman Constituency, has been accused of failing his constituents amidst a severe water crisis.
The Mfantsiman Constituency has been grappling with an acute water shortage since October of last year, affecting the livelihoods of indegenes and non-natives alike. The situation is dire, with families struggling to access clean water for basic needs. Patients at clinics and hospitals require water for hygiene, and families are forced to carry buckets of water to healthcare facilities.
The water crisis has had far-reaching consequences, including:
– Contributing to a widespread cholera outbreak in Biriwa, a town under the constituency.
– Increased expenses for civil servants, such as teachers, nurses, and police officers, who must purchase water for daily use.
– Late arrivals to workplaces due to the quest for water.
– Estimated bills from the Ghana Water Company remain high despite lack of water supply.
The cost of water has skyrocketed, with a gallon selling for 7 cedis. Residents are forced to pay for transportation if they are not near the source of distribution.
Although there have been nothing like an official statement to this effect, the MP’s sympathizers claim that the main source of water to the reservoir that treats and pumps water to various houses in the constituency has dried up and that the rains will bring relief. However, despite continuous rainfall for over a month, taps remain dry.
The people of Mfantsiman are urging their MP to take their plight seriously and lobby for solutions. If not, the NDC may face consequences in the constituency, where residents are increasingly feeling neglected. They believe this NDC administration hastens in quests to solve issues that bothers citizens, and the powers that are in charge and can help obliterate this menace will bring great relief to the constituents.
The question remains: will Hon. Ebenezer Prince Arhin (PhD) heed the call and work towards resolving the water crisis, or will he continue to be the “black sheep” of the NDC?

Jomoro MP, Dorcas Affo-Toffey Allegedly Attacks Diasporans In East Legon (Video Drops)*
In a recent incident that happened at Evans Hotel, near Trasacco Valley, East Legon, member of parliament for Jomoro Constituency, Western Region is alleged to have been in a ferocious brawl with a diasporan family who came to Ghana for the Christmas holidays.
The victim, Olivia, an American giving her account on the incident, explains that Hon. Dorcas Affo-Toffey parked in a wrong spot at the hotel leaving little to no space for other patrons to park their cars. This attracted the security guard at post to confront the MP but he was met with series of insults and an order to back off.
Olivia further explains that they needed a space to park their car also so her boyfriend, who was in the car with her and her father decided to talk to Hon. Dorcas so she could do the needful. But he was equally met with more scorn and barbs. She (the MP) then ordered her bodyguard and a group of men and women she was with to beat them up and in the process got their car mangled at different spots and glasses cracked as well.
Olivia then added that she got hurt physically and her whole family are traumatized by the happenings. She lastly said she did not know the said woman was even a lawmaker until after the incident. She quizzed that if lawmakers are this lawless, who will fight for ordinary citizens?
Olivia shared that she has since reported the case to the police and hope due diligence will be done and the peppertrators be brought to book according to the law. She said the security camera of the hotel captured the whole event which corroborates with her story.
Minister of Jomoro Constituency, Western Region, Hon. Dorcas Affo-Toffey is yet to speak to the matter.
Watch the account of Olivia on the case and snippets of the incident from the CCTV of Evans Hotel.
