NDC grassroots condemn Global Info Analytics' Musa Danquah over 'misleading, divisive' succession polls
The Central Regional Public Relations Officer of the National Lotteries Authority (NLA), Mr Joshua Sika Nartey, has unleashed a blistering criticism of the founder of Global Info Analytics, Mr Musa Danquah, accusing him of deliberately attempting to manipulate political narratives to the disadvantage of the John Mahama administration.
Speaking on behalf of the National Soldiers for John Mahama and grassroots supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Nartey condemned Mr Danquah’s recent succession polls, branding them as “hostile, misleading and dangerous to party unity.”
He argued that releasing such surveys barely nine months into President John Mahama’s administration was not only premature but also calculated to pit prominent NDC leaders against one another.
“Individuals such as Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, Hon. Julius Debrah, and Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson have achieved a lot within this short period, but instead of highlighting these successes, Musa Danquah is sowing seeds of discord through premature succession debates,” Mr Nartey said.
Mr Nartey further warned that the polls could have damaging consequences on the personalities named, cautioning that such projections could affect them “mentally, physically, emotionally and financially.” He described the ongoing conversation around succession as “too early and unfortunate,” urging supporters to dismiss it outright.
He called for attention to be shifted to the administration’s achievements, including the Big Push infrastructure agenda, the National Apprenticeship Programme, Edwumawura, and the attainment of single-digit inflation.
In his view, these initiatives and the broader question of Ghana’s development trajectory should dominate the national conversation, not divisive succession politics.
“In as much as succession is inevitable for every institution, our group believes the timing of this discourse is wrong and must be curtailed immediately,” he stressed, urging party members and Ghanaians at large to reject what he called “orchestrated distractions.”
