Bitterness Makes Amoako Baah’s Analysis A Shame To Intellectualism
We grew up to recognize that men of intellectual capabilities speak with depth of knowledge, but not with a tons of venom. Their neutrality on issues, giving credible analysis from both sides of the coin, encouraged us all to lend ears to such people when they speak.
But having listened to the unwholesome analysis granted by Dr Amoako Baah, on Hello FM this Monday morning, over the dismissal of the prodigal members whose own destructive conducts have seen their automatic exit from the New Patriotic Party, I wonder if, indeed, he holds the PhD as he claims to have.
Culturally, it has been said that, although the bird needs feathers to grow its size, useless feathers on the animal that can’t facilitate the flight of the bird remain eternally useless on the bird as though it has no feathers at all. Why would Amoako Baah even think that the NPP should relax its disciplinary actions against its recalcitrant members who have gone beyond controllable boundaries because such may affect the fortunes of the Party going into the 2024 general elections.
To Amoako Baah, whose bitterness reignites anytime he sees or hears Dr Bawumia’s name, any ‘streetist’ explanation used as justification for the ‘sacked four’s’ awkward behavior towards the Party’s officially elected candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, sounds more reasonable than what the NPP leadership does.
Why would Dr. Amoako Baah think that Hopeson Adoryeh, whose defection from the NDC brought no millions of supporters from the NDC would go out of the NPP with ‘imaginary’ millions of supporters? Again, which logic spoke to the wisdom of the political scientist that the defected leadership of the butterfly group who didn’t want to be controlled by the NPP leadership can control some other ‘assumed’ supporters at the grassroots?
He should be informed that trapped crabs in a confined space would always pull back those wanting to excape (Crabology).
To make his analysis worse, Dr. Amoako Baah has made it a point to ask where the Vice President had gotten so much funding to support his campaign because he doesn’t have businesses. I thought his dissertation for the PhD as political scientist would have taught him a module on political party funding, or even modern methodologies on fundraising. Therefore question on DMB’s source of funding exposes his own ignorance rather than this explicit blackmailing stance he has taken against the Vice President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, and the NPP.
If Dr. Amoako Baah sees nothing wrong with the funds used by a former Minister for Trade and Industry, a former Agricultural Minister, a Board Chairman for the Ghana Gas Company and a Member of Parliament, why that of the Vice President on such a frivolous grounds of public service? Which of the above mentioned does not fall within the same category.
Let Dr. Amoako Baah understands that if the Butterfly, does have such muscles at the grassroots to campaign for members of Parliament, they should file their own candidates and campaign for them. Because the NPP is equally well-grounded to campaign on our own merits for our aspiring parliamentary candidates.
We support our Leadership’s decision!!!
