Hate or love him, Stan Dogbe is one of the finest communications and brand experts in the country when it comes to political communication and branding.
He’s par excellence, however, some also hate him for being close to John Dramani Mahama and preventing access to the former President because he has the eyes and ears of Mahama.
There are three great personalities who have had the opportunity of handling Presidential Communications under the 4th Republican Constitution.
Kwabena Agyapong under Kufuor, Koku Anhyidoho under President Atta Mills and Stan Dogbe under President Mahama.
They have suffered all suffered the same or similar fate, hatred.
Kwabena Agyapong was suspended by his party over his loyalty to the NPP. Koku is also challenging the so called suspension by the NDC.
The most recent one is the alleged Kwesi Botchwey report that cites Stan Dogbe as a cause of John Mahama’s downfall so must be sacked to ensure easy access to the former President which has since been declined by flag bearer aspirant, just as happened under late Atta Mills who also refused to sack Koku he saw it as pure hatred for Koku. The man who now consults for more than four Head of States in the Sub-Region and beyond on Political Communication.
A post on Stan’s Facebook page quotes Deuteronomy 31: 1-8 which states that “among others that God, in his own wisdom, realized how old and feeble Moses was; He therefore decided to select a young and energetic Joshua to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land John Mahama”.
How does Deuteronomy 31: 1-8 apply in this context when John Mahama has led Ghana for for over four years and the NDC and been be defeated twice?
Rather, Biblically old and feeble Moses was (Atta Mills) ;God decided to take him away and selected a young and energetic Joshua (John Mahama) to lead the Israelites (Ghana/NDC) to the promised land, but he failed and plunged the land (Ghana/NDC) into a slump then God gave it to an old man Akufo Nana Addo.
In his analogy he forgot that his Joshua, John Mahama once led Ghana/ NDC and God felt disappointed and gave it back to an Old man again, because God is disappointed in the young “Joshua” meaning The battle is still with the old men.
In his haste to reply Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s interview about old age, he chose to miseducate his social media followers with biblical quotes he himself is not accustomed to.
As the days draw nigh, we are aware that the NDC’s cyberspace is going to be littered with avalanche of malicious utterances and statements aimed at ridiculing and spreading false information with the objective of tarnishing the image and integrity of political opponents of his boss John Mahama vying for the Flagbearer position of the NDC.
An internal contest boisterous momentum spiraling to hive confusion and chaos on the increase on social media; with the aim of downplaying the credentials of astute economist Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and focusing on his age, which is of no relevance to the ordinary Ghanaian.
Those saying Dr Duffuor is unfit for the presidency because of his age, should know that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor is not aspiring to be a sprinter or a grave digger, the Presidency is not about cyberbullying and drawing unnecessary attention about Dr Kwabena Duffuor’s age.
Under Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, people who get appointed or engaged to serve the whims and caprices of politicians, their families, and cronies will be over.
Dr. Duffuor is physically fit to lead the NDC in 2024.
We need a lot of jobs for our children, solid education, and progress for our country and we need someone who has the credentials and credibility to do this.
Dr. Kwabena Duffuor believes in one Ghana, irrespective of our tribe, religion or ethnicity and always urge us to see ourselves as one entity that will bring progress to Ghana.
Please Stan Dogbe, God looks for available men and he looks beyond what the man is, and he sees what he can become, he took Moses from the house of Pharaoh at his old age and made him a leader.
Selah!!!
