The National Organizer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Alhaji Moctar Musa Bamba has described allegations of drugs against the party’s flagbearer, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo as useless. According to him the 2012 elections will be about issues and not personal attacks so whether Nana Addo is a ‘wee’ smoker or not is a non-starter. Commenting on a recent publication by the AfricaWatch Magazine where a member of Nana Addo’s campaign team Nana Opoku Ofori-Atta who is accused of dealing in drug, and its potential of scuttling Nana Addo’s presidential ambition, Moctar Bamba maintained that character cannot feed Ghanaians but better policies with programmes will do. “I have heard people saying that character, character issues, but can character feed Ghanaians?” he quizzed. He said he has realized that in Ghana if you fear what people will say about you, you cannot even eat, stressing that Nana Addo will therefore turn deaf ears to the drug allegations. Speaking on Asempa Fm’s Ekosii-Sen, he noted that in spite of the NDC tagging Nana Addo with drugs in the 2008 elections, he had more than 49 percent of the presidential votes. He stressed that “We have even resolved not to respond to any issue that comes up with Nana being a drug addict but I don’t know the reason why Sir John responded to the African Watch allegations.” He emphasized that Nana Addo who is being tagged with drugs, is hailed everywhere in the country, but wondered why his accusers are still using it. “Look at the way Nana is being hailed everywhere he goes, if he sniffs cocaine everybody will see,” he said. Alhaji Moctar Bamba said that all attempts to tag Nana Addo with drugs are diversionary tactics by the NDC to reduce the fear being meted on them by Nana Addo’s policies and programmes delivered a month ago. He admonished Ghanaians not to be disrupted by the Wikileaks publications. He said the antidote to the political insults in the country would be: “If you don’t want me to denigrate your father, do not speak evil of my dad too”. He said the 2012 elections would be a comparison of the eight years of NPP rule and the eight years of the first NDC government with the performance of the Mills/Mahama Government, but not the character assassination of certain individuals.
