BIG TIME; if this government\nshould remain in power for any duration of time.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the attempts to insulate the President from this group and its &#8220;owner&#8221;, this is perhaps the most fantastical spin anyone could buy into.\u00a0 Look at it this way:\u00a0 per the Information Minister&#8217;s publicized account, Mr. WIREKO ADDO, left the employ of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/03\/08\/akufo-addo-and-npp-painting-ghana-black-with-vigilantism-mahama\/\">President<\/a> sometime in 2010 and had no contact with the President since then.\u00a0 What he does not dispute however is more telling.\u00a0 The gentleman has no connection with the President but he heads a task force that reports to and is located at the President&#8217;s Office.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than that, Mr. Addo engages is operations which warrant the government giving him an office in the Presidency Annex &#8211; the Osu Castle, which until recently was the seat of government.\u00a0 Interesting eh?\u00a0 Are we stupid or what?\u00a0 Even if he had no personal contact with the President, his directives must have emanated from him or one of his advisors which right there implicates the President.\u00a0 The counter argument to this also does not hold water.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, did this man and his operations attract any budgetary allocation?\u00a0 If it did, under whose authority was the allocation made?\u00a0 If it was not under a budget line, then how did he qualify to be assigned an official &#8220;office&#8221; at the Presidency?\u00a0 Who gave the authorization?\u00a0 Whom did he report to?\u00a0 And how come the President was out of the loop in the decision making?\u00a0 If the President was outside the decision-making loop, then who was and how come they came to make the decision without referring to the President or one of his immediate advisors?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> Inapt defense by Oppong Nkrumah <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, that very scenario leads to something even more serious and scary?\u00a0 If that is the fact that budget lines are opened in the name of the President without his knowledge or without him being informed or copied, then it leads to the question; &#8220;who really is in charge of our government?&#8221; And if this possibility is real then how can we trust that they are not misapplying Presidential Authority to settle personal scores?\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sterile and inapt defense put up by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah makes one wonder whether if he is so dumb as to put out such nonsense as he had published under his name, does he think that all Ghanaians are also dumb \u2018a**es\u2019 like himself?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, he is eager to deserve his position as Information Minister so he goes out to do a hatchet job on a well research piece of work by&#8230;up until now&#8230;a star NPP journalist who never fails to declare his admiration of the current President.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/03\/08\/minority-diverting-attention-with-call-for-nana-addos-resignation-oppong-nkrumah\/\">Kodjo Oppong Nkrumah<\/a> must in deed be the most obtuse person to occupy that post if he thinks his juvenile arguments swayed any of us. Nana Addo, if you must do with such mediocrity, then you are really in sh*t boo!!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s proceed further on the arguments they are putting out there.\u00a0 You see, this government is so full of itself it cannot differentiate fact from fiction.\u00a0 The fiction that the NPP is not encouraging violence and usurping police powers is one that can be believable to just the hardcore NPP followers.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is that we have seen, over the past two years, vigilante activity gradually increasing in violence with the innocents being shot and maimed.\u00a0 The is also the vast majority of vigilante action over this time period committed by NPP leaning groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if this problem is to be addressed properly, NPP will have to own up to its responsibilities to the state and disband its myriad vigilante groups. It is a disgrace to us in the diaspora and we think those at home feel it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By: NDC Pro-Forum International &#8211; North America<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>So, let&#8217;s take apart all the makeover arguments being proffered on air and online in an attempt to discredit Manasseh Azure&#8217;s recent expose which puts <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/03\/15\/begging-questions-for-de-eye-who-really-is-in-charge-of-our-government\/\" title=\"Begging questions for \u2018De-Eye\u2019 \u2026&#8221;who really is in charge of our government?&#8221;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,17],"tags":[395,453],"class_list":["post-3088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-from-ghana-western-region","category-opinion","tag-ndc-proforum","tag-vigilante"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Begging questions for \u2018De-Eye\u2019 \u2026&quot;who really is in charge of our government?&quot; - Apt News Ghana<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"First, they would have us believe this is no vigilante group and that members are poor unemployed Ghanaian youth who are selectively picked and trained to fill specific jobs advertised to the public.
