The Executive Director of the Atta Mills Institute, Koku Anyidoho, has described the Chairman of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, as a divider.

His comments follow the recent changes in the leadership of the Minority Caucus in Parliament.

According to Mr Anyidoho, the NDC Chairman has succeeded in dividing the opposition NDC.

Speaking in an interview with Hajia Bintu Saana on CTV’s Dwabre Mu, Friday, 27 January 2023, Mr Anyidoho said Mr Nketia is causing division in the party. 

Mr Anyidoho said: “He’s destroying the party. Today, people are saying ‘Koku Anyidoho, we now understand, you said it’. When Jesus came to speak about salvation, people didn’t accept him. 

“There’s been a change in Parliament before. Why is it that today, it’s become something else? We didn’t believe.”

He indicated that people are looking up to the opposition to keep government on its toes, however, instead of staying united, the NDC Chairman is rather causing division amongst party folk.

“Already in Parliament, there’s already division; NDC and NPP 137, 137. Today the opposition that people are looking up to, to put government on its toes, today, Asiedu Nketia too has divided the opposition.

“So you have a hung parliament already on both sides, now the opposition itself is also divided so where’s the democracy, where’s the democracy?” Mr Anyidoho questioned, adding that the said division of the NDC is “all because of Asiedu Nketia’s” demeanor that all power belongs to him.
