Mr. Isaac Lamptey, National Democratic Congress Chairman of the Dome Kwabenya Constituency of the Greater Accra Region has re-assured of the total commitment of the Greater Accra Chairmen Caucus to support and endorse the former Flagbearer of the party, John Dramani Mahama.
In an interview with Sompa Tv, Mr. Lamptey said they have agreed to pay the filing fee for Mr. John Dramani, he explains that they feel it's time to lend him a helping hand so he can via for such a position.
“All you said is true, we went to his house to visit him, and we told him all he need to do is to pick the forms, and we (Greater Accra NDC Chairmen) will pay for the filing fee of GH¢500K, it's not because he can't pay but it's out of love and the belief that he's the only messiah to save Ghana in this current hardship,” he added.
According to him, the NDC has capable men who are vying for various positions and can do better than the NPP, who claim they have enough men to do the job yet the men they had have been mismanaging the country.
“They say they have the men, and with all the men they have look at where they have taken us, you have a man who has been borrowing but won't take advice, the nepotism is too much, the NDC has the men too but the best person to lead is John Mahama, we are all aware of the numerous infrastructures and development we had in his time, he added.
In response to the party's communications officer, Sammy Genfi’s caution against taking sides which goes contrary to the party's guidelines, he said they visited the former president on the 17th of January, and the party's guidelines came on the 18th of January.
“We visited him on the 17th and the guidelines came on the 18th, the structures of the party are clear according to what the secretary said, it's against the structure or the organs of the party when it's coming from an individual press statement, constituency executives, branch or regional or even national executive and not the caucus, (Greater Accra Caucus of Chairmen) it's strictly for the organs of the party and not caucus, he argued
The Dome Kwabenya chairman denoted that the greater Accra chairmen caucus is not an organ of the party.
