Gabby

Gabby Turns Election Pollster
Gabby Otchere Darko, the nephew of the New
patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer and the Danquah
Institute (DI) driver whom out of embarrassment
after subjecting a shy-looking Minister of State
into an insulting spree told the Ghanaian public
that he was no longer going to participate in
politics, only lied flatly.


As the elections are around the corner and severe
defeat staring at his party once again, he has
bounced back with his diabolical activities to
play down the ruling NDC party and to project his
tainted flagbearer of the NPP. Believe it or not,
the DI Boss is now an election Pollster. Remember
barely a year back, Ghana’s renowned pollster, Ben
Ephson Jnr., confessed to wikileaks that the
evil-minded Nephew of Akufo-Addo had attempted to
bribe him with money to cook up polls to favour
the NPP lost presidential candidate in the 2008
general elections.

Our intelligence have now pick up laughable
reports from credible sources around the man
called Gabby Otchere Darko, that he has finally
turn himself to an election pollster with other
seven (7) NPP communication team members to do the
job Ben Ephson turndown in 2008 to protect his
hard earned reputation.

Among of his members, according to the report, who
are doing all it takes to promote their flagbearer
who is reported to have incurred the wrath of
former president Kufuor, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten,
his former contender and other top NPP gurus
include Nana Akomea, Sammy Awuku, John Abu
Jinapor, Anthony Karbo, the low thinking
propagandists of the NPP.
“It is one of the key goals set aside by Gabby and
his cohorts to cause confusion in the minds of the
Ghanaian electorate that Akufo-Addo, despite the
allegations of drugs consumer and other shameful
things that are over the years being albatross
around the neck of the flagbearer; he still has
the chance of securing more votes and becoming the
President of Ghana.

“In a personal chat with Gabby, he said he is bent
on doing anything to project his Uncle to break
through the oars of the numerous accusations
against the persona of the NPP flagbearer and his
unappealing nature to taste political power before
he retires his politics of desperado. He also
lamented the manner in which Ben Ephson disgraced
him when he attempted to bribe him during the 2008
presidential elections to turn the polls in favour
of Akufo-Addo”, the Nephew to NPP flagbearer close
associate told the Crystal Clear Lens
exclusively.

On last Friday, 21 June 23, 2012 Gabby and his
team decided to test the public with their cooked
up polls and tagged it Ben Ephson’s name which had
President John Evans Atta Mills trailing
flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana
Akufo-Addo, by more than 5% of respondents
sampled. His New Statesman newspaper which is
being sponsored by his Uncle published a palpable
falsehood that the ruling party, NDC commissioned
Mr. Ephson to conduct an “independent” opinion
poll in April on the chances of President Mills
ahead of the 2012 election which have met a public
outcry.

According to the publication, Ben Ephson’s poll,
killed the morale of the top functionaries of the
NDC as the results made for grim reading. The
newspaper claimed results of Ben Ephson’s poll
indicated that Nana Addo obtained 50.05%., whiles
President Mills received 44.40%.

"The regional breakdown of Ben Ephson’s polls is
as follows: Ashanti-79.8% for Nana Akufo-Addo,
19.1% for Mills; Brong Ahafo - 55 .7% for Nana,
40.4% for Mills; Central Region – Nana Addo, 59.8,
with 39.4 for Mills; Eastern - 68.9% for Nana
Addo, 31.4% for Mills; Greater Accra -48.2% for
Nana Addo, 46.9% for Mills; Northern - 51.3% for
Nana Addo, 44.5% for Mills; Upper East - 39.8% for
Nana Addo, 60.1% for Mills; Upper West - 40.4% for
Nana Addo, 52.1% for Mills; Volta - 18.9% for Nana
Addo, 74.9% for Mills; Western - 52.8% for Nana
Addo, 41.5% for Mills," the newspaper reported.

But Mr. Ephson, who is also the Editor-in-Chief of
the Daily Dispatch Newspaper, in a sharp reaction
to the fallacy to protect his integrity told the
NPP and brainmasters of the fake polls that the
act was disgraceful and they were only tickling
themselves to laugh off the severe defeat staring
at their face ahead of the December elections.

According to him, he always makes public the
findings of every survey he conducts, and thus
described the report as baseless and
unmeritorious. He urged the NPP to continue
tickling themselves as they did prior to the 2008
general elections.

"It is never true that I’ve conducted any such
polls...They (NPP) should go ahead and lie to
themselves...These are some of the things they did
to Akufo-Addo in 2008 making him believe the
election was a done deal...in the long run...the
party was defeated...listen, if your mum is dead
and you lie about it that she is fast asleep,
after three days the stench from the decomposed
body will show that you lied," Ben Ephson
proverbially said.
