George Andah

Vote arrogant Hannah Tetteh out - George Anda
New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate
for Awutu-Senya East in the Central Region, George
Andah has said that the constituency is tired of
having an ‘arrogant person’ as the Member of
Parliament (MP) for the area.

George Andah speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen
Programme on Thursday said the constituency rather
deserves someone who is down to earth, would work
on the plight of the indigenes and not one who is
a distant person and not easily approachable.

The former Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of MTN
and Airtel Nigeria said this while reacting to a
statement by the sitting MP and Foreign Affairs
Minister, Hannah Tetteh that he was a ‘novice
and a lightweight in the game of politics’ and
hence never considered him a threat to her
political career.

“Who is George? You are talking as if he is some
political heavyweight. This is someone who has not
contested elections before, who has never been in
the political space before and I am supposed to be
afraid of him

“I am the Foreign Minister, I have been Minister
of Trade and Industry and I have won this seat
twice and I have won an overwhelming mandate in
the primaries and I am supposed to be afraid of
someone who is, even if you want to be charitable,
a novice. You are the people making George Andah
somebody, I do not consider him a threat,” she
said after winning her party’s primaries.

But this statement, George Andah said would not
make him lose focus in his campaign adding that
the fact that a ‘novice like me and my team have
been able to work to have the former campaign
manager of the NDC cross-carpet to our camp tells
of what we can do’.

Lieutenant Col. Danny William Osardu who was
campaign manager for Foreign Affairs Minister,
Hannah Tetteh in the 2012 election this year
crossed-carpet to join forces with the NPP citing
the lack of needed development in the constituency
as a reason.

He told media men in an interview that he believes
the NPP and its parliamentary candidate; George
Andah will bring that development.

And this move, George Andah who is also a former
Chief Operating Officer of GLO said is evident of
the amount of work he and his team has been doing
on the grounds.

“If a novice and his team could work to have
former campaign manager, former DCE, former
constituency chairman of NDC come to join us, then
we should be considered a force to reckon
with…,” he said.

Reacting to claims by the MP that as a former
Minister for Trade and Industry and current
Foreign Minister, she had enough resources to
execute her campaign, George Andah said ‘winning
elections is not about resources but rather been
close to the voters.’

“Awutu Senya is not interested in an arrogant MP
and one who only brings in last minute resources
into the constituency, [but] one who is very
accessible to the people,” he said.

He therefore urged his constituents to vote
against the Hannah Tetteh and the NDC.
