Central Regional Communications Director for the NDC, Mr. Ben Allotey Jacobs, says an aspiring presidential candidate of the ruling party, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has never come across to him as a serious politician, adding that he always has a good laugh anytime he hears him (Spio) articulating his views and putting on his grandstanding antics. Speaking on Peace FM�s Kokrokoo Morning Show, the outspoken Allotey Jacobs further stated the CEO of Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) has the penchant of passing unnecessary remarks. �Whenever I listen to Spio talk, I laugh because for a long time I have never regarded him as a serious politician�He thinks politics is something you just get up and say anything that comes up in one�s head�Wear the red beret of the 31st so they push him to come and say anything,� he said. To him, the former First Vice-Chair of the NDC is a bundle of contradiction who �pisses in� one minute and heaps praise on the Mills� administration the next second; all in the hope of being given a ministerial appointment. �Spio keeps making unnecessary comments and hitting hard on the gov�t� later he pretentiously praises Mills that he is doing well and is fulfilling his promises hoping he will be given a position and when they don�t give him any position, he goes back to wear his red beret and make those unnecessary comments again; so I have never taken him serious,� he added.
