Haruna Nuako, an ardent supporter of Hon. Alan Kyerematen on behalf of friends of the astute leader has released a rejoinder to rubbish claims by one disgruntled “Alan Boy” to expose the opposing agenda against Mr. Kyerematen.

Dear Patriots,
The attention of we Friends of Alan has been drawn to a statement purported to have been made by one Baah Acheamfour, which has been captured in the article with the above title.
In the said article, Baah Acheamfour is mentioned as someone who once worked for Alan and also a member of a so-called coalition that calls itself SAVE NPP NOW. In response to his outrageously disingenuous claims contained in the said article, we have this to say.
To begin with, our rejoinder is anchored on three fundamental facts which are as follows:
1. Contrary to Baah Acheamfour’s claim, he has never worked for Alan Kyerematen before.
2. Baah Acheamfour is currently an NDC member and, therefore, whatever he is doing is deliberately being done to the advantage of the NDC.
3. Whatever he has said about Alan Kyerematen can never be true.
It wasn’t as if people who knew him were expecting something different and, so, they were surprised and outraged by what he said about our hardworking selfless caring Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyerematen.
People were simply surprised that he hasn’t changed, especially now that he has left the NPP for the NDC and even considering contesting for the regional position of his new party in the Ashanti Region.
Baah de Traitor, as some of his friends like to call him, started well as the Personal Assistant to our former National Chairman, the late Obetesebi Lamptey. He even supported Mr. Addai Nimo’s presidential bid at one point in time.
However, for a strange reason, he developed a foul mouth for the destruction of the reputation of candidate Nana Addo (as he then was) and started spewing a lot of lies about him.
And, when Nana Addo eventually became President, he continued with his unsubstantiated viperous attacks on him and at one time made the following outrageous claim against him: “Nana Addo started corruption while in opposition and has brought it into government. So, I am not surprised about the level of corruption today”.
This he said on a political talk show dubbed Me Man Nti, hosted by Nana Yaw Mensah Joel at Kumasi FM studio. As he could not succeed with his agenda against Nana Addo, he left the party and has since been with the NDC. Such a person is who the likes of Chief Obosu Mohammed are applauding for spewing lies about another stalwart of our party simply because it serves their parochial interest.
So, why has Baah Acheamfour suddenly resurfaced from nowhere to attack the person of the Trade and Industry Minister just like he did to Nana Addo some years back? The answer is very simple, he has resumed from his long leave to do the work of his paymasters, the NDC.
Obviously, for someone (now NDC member) who has never worked for Mr. Alan Kyerematen before to create the impression that he has ever worked for him and use the false impression so created, as a launch-pad for his groundless attacks and accusations against him, means the 2024 battle between Alan Kyerematen and John Mahama has just started.
Who, in this country, doesn’t know that Mr. Alan Kyerematen is the next presidential candidate of the NPP? This is a piece of common knowledge. So, the NDC, being smart and seeing how Alan’s political currency is appreciating speedily in value, as a result of his sterling performance in the Trade and Industry Ministry, in respect of the ten (10) point industrial transformation agenda he is spearheading such as the 1D1F (his brainchild), Strategic Anchor Industrial Initiatives, SME Development, Export Development, Trade Facilitation (AfCFTA), etc.”
When it all started, the NDC resorted to a two-prong strategy. They openly began to castigate Bawumia by highlighting his failures as the head of the Economic Management Team, while quietly and vigorously supporting and still supporting him, particularly on social media as the NPP’s best choice for the 2024 elections.
However, realizing that, one leg of their strategy (vigorously supporting Dr. Bawumia on social media), is not functioning to their expected satisfaction, they have now resorted to attacking Alan Cash, the obvious frontrunner, to make him look bad in the eyes of the NPP delegates to the advantage of their preferred minced meat who would make their work easy for them in 2024, hence Baah Acheamfour’s attack on his person. Haven’t you also noticed how they have suddenly started attacking 1D1F? They know what they are doing.
This is where the NPP must be very smart and careful not to fall for this strategy of the NDC. Mr. Alan Kyerematen, is obviously, the candidate the NDC wouldn’t want to face in the 2024 elections, considering his verifiable achievements even as a Minister, coupled with his Ashanti-Fante background and unique attractive personality that resonates naturally with electorates.
In fact, side by side, Alan Kyerematen stands taller than John Mahama by all standards. This, the NDC knows it, hence their nefarious attacks.
There is no gainsaying that the Trade and Industry Minister, has really conducted himself more maturely and efficiently in the way he has handled his portfolio over the last five years. The NDC, would, therefore, have nothing negative to smear him with. All the propaganda videos they have is on the Vice President. That is why they are doing everything to make sure he succeeds.
We hope and pray the NPP would perceive through this vicious strategy of the NDC and advise themselves accordingly to disregard such attacks on their ripened fruit. The 8 is only breakable with Alan Kyerematen, so, the party members should shine their eyes.
God bless our homeland Ghana! God bless the NPP!
Haruna Nuako
On behalf of all the Friends of Alan for 2024.
