Joseph Yamin,former Deputy Minister ,NDC

Koku Anyidoho, Anita Desoso have agenda to block Mahama’s comeback – Yamin
Former NDC Ashanti Regional Secretary, Joseph
Yamin has accused the party’s vice chairperson,
Anita Desoso and Deputy General Secretary, Koku
Anydoho of prosecuting a grand agenda to make it
impossible for ex President Mahama to come back to
lead the NDC in 2020 elections.

According to him, the duo per their recent
utterances have amply demonstrated their
opposition to the return of the former leader, a
situation he describes as very unfortunate.

Mr Yamin who was a deputy Minister of Youth and
Sports during the Mahama administration is not the
first NDC member to make such an accusation
against the two party executives.

Popular Kumasi based NDC serial caller, Frank
Appiah aka Appiah Stadium earlier in the week told
Kasapa News that he has information that Anita
Desoso and Koku Anyidoho have purposed to ruin any
presidential ambition of ex President John
Mahama.

While Anita Desoso recently blamed the various
campaign groups that were formed for Mahama for
largely contributing to the party’s defeat in
last year’s elections, Koku Anyidoho on the
otther hand in an interview granted GHOne TV few
days ago, among others said he loved late
President Atta Mills but only worked for immediate
past President Mahama.”

But speaking on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5FM,
Friday, Yamin, slammed Koku Anyidoho for his
comments descibing him as an unprincipled person.

“I heard Koku Anyidoho trying to explain his
comments on GHOne TV. He claims that as a national
executive member he couldn’t have taken sides
and said anything that will seem as if he was
endorsing ex President Mahama. But he has
forgotten that before the 2008 elections, the NDC
deputy National Youth Organizer, Barbara Asamoah
was the spokesperson for GAME (Get Atta Mills
Elected) but that didn’t end her political
career.

Koku Anyidoho never saw that as an endorsement of
somebody’s candidature, he was happy because he
wanted late President Attah Mills to win to become
the NDC Flagbearer.

Do you think if he wants ex President Mahama to
come back to lead the NDC he’ll say since he’s
a national executive he must not endorse
anyone’s candidature? or he has suddenly had a
change of mind.

He added: Secondly, there’s no competition for
him to say that by his comment he’ll endorsing
someone or not. The question from Nana Aba Anamoah
was not about whether Koku wants Mahama to lead
NDC or not, the question was simple…did you love
Atta Mills, he was once your President?, he
quickly responded…yes, I loved Atta Mills…do
you love John Mahama? he answered, I worked for
him.

That was bad. Currently there’s no contest, and
we don’t have persons who have declared their
intention to contest NDC Flagbearership race.
Mahama has not said anywhere whether he’ll come
back or not, so even if Koku had said he loved
Mahama how could that have amounted to an
endorsement for him for which reason he couldn’t
say same as he said about Mills.

If there is some hatred and bitterness because he
was not appointed by ex President Mahama then Koku
is wrong, because some of us were not also
appointed by late President Mahama.”
