Former General Secretary of the opposition New
Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie popularly known as Sir John has
called the bluff of renowned pollster, Ben Ephson.Ben Ephson, in a
recent poll, has predicted a first round victory for President John Dramani
Mahama in the December polls.
Mr. Ephson's latest polls indicate that the
President will win by 52.4% while Nana Addo, flagbearer of the NPP, will poll
45.9% and the other parties are expected to claim 1.7% in the
elections.
Ben Ephson also reportedly predicted victory for US Democratic
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton prior to the country's November
Elections.
It however turned out to be false as her contender; Donald
Trump was elected President of the State.
Responding to Ben Ephson's
latest poll on the December 7 elections, Sir John called on Ghanaians not to
take the polls seriously.
He rubbished the polls claiming Ben Ephson is
not an authority to determine who wins or loses the elections.
Sir John
also challenged Mr. Ephson to come out and explain to Ghanaians why his polls on
the US Elections backfired.
Speaking on Peace
FM's 'Kokrokoo', Sir John stressed that even if Ben Ephson "likes, he
should conduct a survey and say that John Mahama polled 90% and the rest have
10%, it will result in nothing . . . What Ben is saying; i think he's basking in
the sunny atmosphere and using his mouth to
weed.”
