NDC Should’ve Prevented Premature Launch Of Prez Mills’ Campaign Song”

The campaign coordinator of the Nana Konadu for 2012 Campaign Team, Michael Teye Nyaunu, says the decision by National Executives of the NDC to “merely distance themselves from the launch of the campaign song of President John Mills was not enough”.

According to him, the executives should have prevented the “premature” launch from taking place, other than issuing a statement to distance themselves, saying their action clearly smacks of fostering disunity within the party.

Last Saturday, June 25 2011 at the Trade Fair Centre, a song extolling the virtues of President John Evans Atta Mills and which puts him up as the obvious choice for National Democratic Congress delegates attending the party’s July congress, was launched.

Sponsors of the song, Friends of Atta Mills, convinced he will win the July 9 flagbearer race to be held in Sunyani, are already appealing to party executives to endorse the song as the party’s campaign song for the 2012 general elections.

Even though the NDC’s National Executive Committee, per a statement issued by General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, had distanced the party from the campaign song, Hon Teye Nyaunu insists that is not enough.

Speaking on Xfm’s big bite show, Hon Teye Nyaunu opined that the national executives could have done more than just distancing themselves.

Despite the launch of President John Mills’ campaign song ahead of the congress, Hon Teye Nyaunu said President Mills will lose the July 9 congress.
