Quashigah replies NPP; you lost 2008 elections because God detested your wickedness

Richard Quashigah

Propaganda Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Richard Quashigah has replied the NPP saying God that allowed them to lose the 2008 elections because of the party's “sins”.

Campaign Manager of the NPP, Mr Boakye Agyarko, announcing the party's first ever national interdenominational prayer session to usher the party into its 2012 campaigns, said the loss suffered by the NPP in 2008 was a blessing in disguise as it has given Ghanaians the real opportunity to assess the two parties and to know which of them can best serve the interest of the country.

According to him, God needed to expose the NDC for what they are – “hypocrites, liars, thieves of the first order. Otherwise how does a president who has declared himself righteousness allow such perfidy of taking the nation's money to one person (referring to the Woyome judgement debt scandal)?”

However, Richard Quashigah, replying Mr Agyarko, accepted that God saw the NPP out in 2008, but for different reasons.

He told Xfm 95.1, “it is true that God allowed them to lose the elections because they were unscrupulous, ungodly and their ways were ways of darkness. It is true that God brought President Mills to the Ghanaian people in order to bring about peace, oneness, unity and progress. Indeed, if Akufo-Addo were president, like Kofi Koomson said, even he, an NPP man, would not sleep with both eyes closed”.

He warned the NPP not to accuse the NDC of incurring the judgment debt paid to Alfred Agbesi Woyome, since it was the NPP's “irresponsibility” that led to the debt.

“The Woyome saga is a developing one; it has not concluded yet, for which reason no one can point accusing figures at anyone. Also it is obvious that they created over 600 million judgment debt before they left office. Their irresponsibility and their mischievousness and evil deeds were the reasons for which Ghana lost 600 million Ghana cedis. And so they do not have the moral right to be accusing others of having stolen money when that matter is being investigated”.

“Clearly, the NPP is a very corrupt entity; the NPP is an entity whose sins went so high up into the heavens that God got so angry and infuriated with them and drove them out of office, just like he did to Saul”, he asserted, adding, “and so they do not have any moral right because, when we want to go into their evil and corrupt acts, they have no hiding place; and they know it. So what he (Mr Agyarko) is saying, he does not know what he was talking about; I forgive him”.
