Dr Sekou Nkrumah, sacked as the Acting Coordinator of the National Youth Council a couple of weeks ago, has warned Presidential Special Aide Nii Lantey Vanderpuije to stop peddling lies and that his days at the Castle are numbered.According to Sekou, Nii Lantey lies to the populace just because he wants to keep his job as a Spokesperson for the President.The presidential staffer said on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana programme Monday that Sekou begged him to be allowed to speak on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign platform during the 2008 General Elections and that he [Nii Lantey] had to coach Sekou what to say.However, speaking in an interview with hostess Shamima Muslim on the same programme Wednesday, Dr Nkrumah denied ever begging Nii Lantey or any other person in the NDC and that he was giving lectures and presentations in the United States before he came to Ghana.He asserted that NDC founder Jerry John Rawlings and then Candidate Mills invited him on several occasions to speak on the party’s campaign platform - an invitation Sekou said he accepted humbly especially at a time that he really wanted to join the party.Dr Nkrumah who expressed surprise at the presidential staffer’s comments, said Nii Lantey’s behaviour is shameful and disturbing to the NDC.Asked whether he has not been critisising the government because he was dismissed from office, Sekou noted that he was critisising the government before he was sacked and that he has maintained the status quo even after his dismissal.“I have always been my own man…I speak my mind, that is why sometimes people do not like me,” he noted.Dr Nkrumah stated that he will not resign from the NDC, wishing the party would one day merge with the other left-wing parties to maintain a formidable force against the New Patriotic Party.He added that at the right time, he would determine which faction in the NDC to join to make himself continuously relevant to the party’s cause.By: Dorcas Efe Mensah/myjoyonline.com/Ghana
