A member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) communications team, has condemned Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko for his recent social media utterances, which always spark controversies against the party.
According to him, Gabby’s constant utterances are affecting the government’s image, and the NPP must not appear unconcerned.
He believes Gabby is one of the reasons President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the government have come under fire, and that he should refrain from commenting on internal NPP issues that will spark controversies.
“Gabby, although not part of the government but your name smells in all that is going on. You are part of the reasons why this government is being scolded,” he said on Accra-based Original FM.
He stated that “Every tweet from Mr. Otchere-Darko causes pain in the heart and the neck of NPP, his reckless tweets always cause controversies in the country in which our opponents use it against us.”
“This is a problem the government is facing, when Gabby Otchere-Darko tweets then it becomes a government position or policy. The last time I checked Gabby does not have any official position in government. We’ve made Gabby more powerful than the government and it’s affecting the image of the government, and as a political party we must not sit down for this to happen. He has his right to talk but the media is making a great disservice to the country. Gabby doesn’t hold a position in government, he’s not the Finance Minister, He’s not the Chief Advisor to the President and yet we’ll be reporting and discussing what he’s saying as against that of the other Ministers,” he added.
He claimed that such statements would jeopardize the NPP’s chances in the 2024 elections.
Many consider Otchere-Darko, Nana Addo’s nephew, to be a powerful member of the government because he appears to be well-versed in government decisions.
