Kofi Adams must be ‘hanged’ for Mahama’s defeat – Yamoah Ponko

Maverick NDC activist Afrifa Yamoah Ponko says the National Coordinator of the party’s 2016 campaign Kofi Adams must be killed for the party’s defeat.

According to him, the circumstances surrounding the party’s defeat is unpardonable, and Mr Adams cannot absolve himself of blame.

President John Mahama and the ruling NDC were defeated in last week’s presidential and parliamentary polls by the New Patriotic Party led by Nana Akufo-Addo.

The NPP trashed the ruling party by about one million votes and also won majority of the parliamentary seats.

Speaking to Kumasi-based Abusua FM Tuesday, Mr. Ponko, who was former Ejisu Juabeng MCE , blamed the defeat of the NDC on the incompetence of the campaign team.

“I laughed it off when I heard Kofi Adams saying he should be blamed for our defeat, he should stop irritating our ears; why should he accept the blame, why did he accept to be the National Campaign Coordinator when he knew that he was going to fail us? I mean why, it is an unforgivable sin. Andy Okrah and Kofi Adams need to be hanged for our defeat. They should have humbly rejected the offers when they were appointed. They have no excuse to give.

"This defeat is a serious blow to us, we are now going to feel the impact of our loss, our supporters are being vilified, killed, beaten everyday by New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters, watch the space, the harassment will be worst after the President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is sworn in office," he lamented.
