NPP Must Fight It's Own Battle

I hear John Dramani Mahama-led ndc administration is scheming to get rid of Kwame Sefa-Kayi from Despite Media, and my NPP people are upset.

On top of my head, I can count over 1000 ndc-leaning radio, TV, Information Centers and a horde of media affiliates across length and breadth of Ghana.

And one may ask: why, over the years, has NPP failed to consciously empower it's people to setup media houses, but expect others to fight our proxy battles?

To make matters worse, even with the few NPP-leaning Media Houses, the party's stalwarts and official communicators don't honour their invites.

Our NPP leaders and official party communicators are rather happy to appear on atrociously hostile and maliciously jaundiced media platforms.

Indeed, the're NPP official communicators who have laid down their tools, literally, because the party has boycotted TV3 Ghana, when Net2TVGH is there.

My people are comfortable on platforms where they can appear in 3-piece suits with beautiful accents, even when they are not allowed to make their points.

Days ago, I saw issues being raised about purported preferential treatment being given to WoezorTV, and I asked "should Wontumi TV be the option for JDM?"

The work Woezor TV did in beaming live coverage of ndc campaign, deep into the nights from every nook-and-crany, they deserve all goodies available.

I think we have to be realistic in this game of politics, particularly in our part of the world, prioritize our set-objectives, and don't blame others for our woes.
