Conspiracy against The vice President

Subscribe in a reader

How the NPP Swerved the Second most Powerful Man in the Land If you think things are smooth and straight i the Npp as they have been claiming ,revise your notes because events over the last couple of days has clearly betrayed how stormy the ride is going to be for the accolade of representing the NPP in 2008 for the presidential elections. The vice President has just found out that he needs not only to spend money and make more use of of the privileges of his high office but to use the raw power of his office. The vice president was invited to attend his vetting at the party office on Wednesday. The honourable Veep duly got there five minutes to the appointed time ( a rare occurrence) only to be kept waiting for over 30 Min's before being finally told that the vetting was not coming on after all. This led the visibly shaken and shocked Aliu to profusely declare his undying love for his party and Ghana (a strange response given the circumstances) . Now the whole situation has been made worse by the fact that 8 hours before the vetting a newspaper owned by one of the competing aspirants to the Npp presidential slot had published a story alleging that the vices president does not own a valid party card. Looking at the people making up the vetting committee you really wonder if such an embarrassment is simply an oversight or there is more to it that appears. People like Prof.Adjei Becquine who is the chairman of the council of state are supposed to kw and do better. I relay think the Veep must realised that the chickens have come home to roost. First of all he is not considered as a true party man and that the only reason why he became the vice president only on the fact that he is a northerner. Again there is a groundswell of bitterness among the other contestants over the fact that most of them have had to resign from their positions in order to contests while the vice president still enjoys all the benefits of his office and indeed use state accessories and logistics in his campaign. A lot is brewing in the belly of the elephant and watch out when it explodes....because it will surely be messy.
