Defection from M4C: Politics is a game of numbers not of weaklings – Comms Director tells defectors
Deputy Director of Communication for the Movement for Change (M4C), Courage Nobi, has articulated the Movement’s perspective on the departure of Alfred Kumi and other members from the party.
According to him, they are more concerned about revolutionary change, thus have prioritized the nation over political affiliations.
“When you decide to do the unprecedented, revolutionary acts like the Movement for Change founded and led by Alan Kyerematen is seeking to do, you need people of a certain mettle,” Nobi stated, echoing the sentiments of the Movement’s ethos.
“It was the last Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who said that revolutions are brought about by men, men who think as men of actions and act as men of thought,” he said in an interview with Johnnie Hughes on 3FM Sunrise Morning Show on April 23.
Nobi acknowledged the departure of certain members, describing it as a natural consequence of their ambitious agenda. “So we knew at all points that when the heat gets on, some weaklings among us will fall,” he said. “But you know, the weakest point of an army is its weakling, so when you have a glorious situation where weaklings begin to fall off, you can only be thankful to God.”
The Deputy Communications Director reiterated the Movement’s commitment to its cause, emphasizing that they prioritize Ghana’s interests above all else. “When the Movement for Change set out, we did not set out to work for a party, in fact, we left the party to work for the nation,” Nobi affirmed. “If he finds that loyalty to the party is more important to him than loyalty to the nation, certainly he was in the wrong group.”
Regarding Alfred Kumi’s departure, Nobi viewed it as a positive development for the movement. “For me, it is actually good for the Movement. Politics is a game of numbers, not of weaklings,” he asserted. “We want numbers that will matter, we want strength because we want to upset a status quo that has been in place for 32 years. You cannot do that with weaklings.”
Furthermore, Nobi addressed allegations of attempts to undermine the Movement, claiming that there have been efforts to bribe members back into the fold of the NPP.
“We have been aware for almost three months now that they have set out to literally bribe some of our people back into the fold of the NPP,” he disclosed.
“They set out to literally buy back people, you know, bribe people into coming back to the NPP just to create a narrative as though this Movement thing is not really well,” Nobi alleged.
