Mr. Osei Yaw Nketia, otherwise known as Dr. Asemfoforo, a critic of the then ruling NPP government who purportedly mobilized massive support for the NDC during the 2008 elections, has promised to lead foot soldiers to campaign massively for NDC this year because top government officials have given him two vehicles.
His decision is in variance to his earlier position to lead a campaign for the NPP against the NDC because the NDC had been ungrateful to him.
In an interview with Adom News, Dr. Asemfoforo, said he rescinded his decision after he received the two (2) cars; a pick-up from Vice President John Mahama, and a saloon car from Minister of State at the presidency, Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo.
Dr. Asemfoforo says the two cars have rekindled his love for the party so he will campaign for President John Evans Atta Mills.
He started his campaign by saying "President Mills has a kind heart and he will win this year’s election."
Months ago, Dr. Asemfoforo was widely reported to have been bed-ridden due to ill health and he called for help from the NDC but did not get much of that.
Dr. Asemfoforo claimed he fought for the party when some ministers who now ride in expensive cars were nowhere.
He says he stood for NDC, sometimes at the peril of his life, and yet when he needed help the most he did not get it.
But he said the two cars are satisfactory rewards for his efforts for the NDC.
Meanwhile Hon. Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo has told Adom News he helped Dr. Asemfoforo because, he (Asemfoforo) was so instrumental in bringing the NDC into power during the 2008 elections and felt he has not benefited from the Better Ghana Agenda that much.
