A youth group calling itself the Movement for Kingdom Image (MFKI) has slammed the Chief of Staff Julius Debrah for allegedly making “ethnocentric and tribalistic” comments.
The former Eastern regional minister speaking at the campaign launch of Majority Leader Alban Bagbin in the Nadowli-Kaleo constituency in the Upper West Region on Saturday, 24 September, appealed to northerners not to disappoint their “own brother” in the December 7 polls.
“Now it’s the turn of President John Dramani Mahama, who is from the north, and we are being told that we should let him stay only four years so that we can bring somebody. I don’t think this is fair…and, so, I’m using this occasion to urge you all to vote massively for your own brother,” the Chief of Staff said.
But a statement signed by Kofi Osempakani Kaakyire, President of MFKI, on Tuesday, stated that “we the Movement for the Kingdom Image are disappointed in the chief of staff Julius Deberah for his ethnocentric and tribalistic statements during his speech at Alban Bagbin's campaign launch.
“We heard the chief of staff telling the people of North to vote for their brother a Northerner because or else they are sidelined for good.
“We think Julius doesn't deserve to hold the position as chief of staff whose position means that he is the Lord over all the ministers and government appointees which is not a small position so we expected him to speak with maturity especially in this hot political era.”
The statement added “such comments have encouraged the young guys in the party to be doing violent things in this country. Ghana needs peace so our politicians must be responsible. We are disappointed in Julius for such inflammatory statement.”

SO HAS ANY MORON1C ***barred word*** LIKE YOU CAN ALSO COME HERE TO MAKE USE1ESS COMMENTS. KINDY ASKED THAT YOUR BELLYFUL, F0UL MOUTH LIKE JULIUS DABRAH WHERE IS NECK IS?? NONSINS, NORTHERNERS ARE NOT F001S LIKE YOU AND THAT YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF, WE WILL NEVER VOTE AGAIN FOR AN INCOMPETENT BROTHER WHO REFUSES TO WORK AND IMPROVE THE LIVES OF HIS POOR NORTHERN PEOPLE BUT RATHER STEAL FROM US TO TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PARTY CRONIES . YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITH A COMPETENT, INCORRUPTIBLE, VISIONARY, NANA ADDO, DR. BAWUMIA AND THE NPP .
ANY GANG OF IRRESPONSIBLE AND BACKWARD ENTITIES CAN COME OUT AND ISSUE A STATEMENT AND CALL ITSELF A GROUP, BECAUSE THIS IS DEMOCRACY. BUT IT TAKES A SENSIBLE INDIVIDUAL TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND TELL WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. JUST CHECK THIS OUT. We heard the chief of staff telling the people of North to vote for their brother a Northerner because or else they are sidelined for good. AND WERE THEY NOT IN THE COUNTRY WHEN THEIR FLAG BEARER WENT TO THE WESTERN REAGION AND SAID, afei de3 nzemafuo me`ne mo aa na 3ko ooo, national chairman of the party y3 nzema ni. To wits, vote for me because national chairman of the party is one of you. AND IF JULIUS DEBRAH IS NOT FIT FOR THE POSITION OF CHIEF OF STAFF, SHOULD THE PRESIDENT APPOINT NANA ADDO? THEIR SURROGATE THE IEA HAS ISSUED A COMMUNIQUE THAT AKUFFO ADDO HAS CHICKEN OUT OF THE DEBATE, THE PARTY IS UNABLE TO LUNCH THE SO CALLED MANIFESTO, WITH A FLIMSY EXCUSE THAT THE BLACK STARS WILL HAVE A WORLD CUP ENGAGEMENT SO IT WILL TAKE THE SHINE OUT OF THE EVENT. AND IT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO DEC. THIS IS A JOKE THE SO CALLED GROUP SHOULD CONCERN THEMSELVES ABOUT. SO THEY CAN TOY WITH THE FEW DYE IN THE WOOL FANATICS OF THE NPP BUT NOT THE ENLIGHTENED ONES WHO ARE NOW OPENLY DECLARING THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
