Joseph Ade-CokerThe incumbent Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Joseph Ade-Coker is said to be living in a state of fear and panic ahead of the party?s National Delegates Congress.

Information filtering in to this Paper is that Mr.? Ade Coker has formed campaign groups to spearhead his message to the delegates ahead of the elections to ensure that he retainspower as Regional Chairman.

One of the groups, ?Support Group for Ade-Coker? is spearheaded by the Assembly member for Weija Electoreal Area, Mr. David Nii Abossey Braide [aka Big Daddy].

The core mandate of these groups, according to our information, is to frustrate any potential aspirant eyeing the position of the Regional Chairman.

According to the information, the groups have already running with the strategy of downplaying all the achievements by all predecessors who have occupied the Regional Chairmanship position.

In reference to a recent statement issued by Mr. David Abbosey Braide, he was to have described Mr. Ade Coker?s achievement as unparallel to any other.

The group was also said to have attacked the personality of Mr. Manly-Spain, a lead contender for the Chairmanship slot who is deemed by many supporters of the party as the next possible Regional Chairman.

The information again reveal that a former Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the party, Mr. Danny Annan has rubbished David Abbsey Braide?s that none of the former Chairman compare his achievements to that of the incumbent Chairman Ade Coker, saying their records are the to show what they achieved for the party during their tenure in office.

However, in responding to their claim that Ade?s leadership cannot be equated to any previous leader in the region, the national vice chairman of the NDC and former Greater Accra Regional chairman of the party, Mr. Danny Annan stated that everybody in party no what they did for the party.

According to Mr. Danny Annan, he assumed office when the party had no permanent office but he managed to acquire a permanent office where it now operates.

?He pointed out that he took over the mantle of leadership where the party was operating without an office complex but managed to get it one. ?I am not a barrel so I don?t make noise. The records are there for all? he added.

He said from 11 seats out of 22 in opposition, he managed to increase the number of seats in parliament by winning 18 seats in the Greater Accra Region which was described as unprecedented.

Another former Chairman, Alhaji Anteye Tetteh said it is out of place for Mr. Ade Coker to state that all his predecessors did not achieve anything for the party during their tenure in office and therefore described the claim as a naked argument., Alhaji Anteye Tetteh, the former chairman of the region from 1992 to 1996 also stated that it is out of place for Ade?s campaign group to make such a naked argument since the period under review are not the same.

He said during his time as a chairman it was full of sacrifices and that his regime propelled the NDC to a grater height by giving it a new image.

Alhaji Tetteh averred that the party was not having any vehicle for its activities but they work with diligent and passion and wounded how a group people supporting the incumbent chairman should engage in such rough tactics.

He, has, therefore called on the national executives to call Ade-Coker?s group to order since the insults is too much.
