• Party’s ‘ideology’ is rewarding ‘idiots’ over loyal foot soldiers
• “NDC still learning—NPP are the GOATs in stealing!” – Fadi fumes
• Blasts party’s new institute as a sham built on betrayal
In a fiery, no-holds-barred broadside, Fadi Samih Dabbousi — the Ghanaian-Lebanese columnist known for his near-religious support for then-candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and unfiltered criticism of President John Mahama — has unleashed a brutal critique of his own party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), over its decision to establish an ideological institute.
What should have been a proud moment for a party seeking to define and immortalise its philosophical heritage instead became the target of ridicule and raw frustration from one of its most vocal insiders.’
“So, the NPP has established an ideology institute of some sort. Fantastic idea. I love it!” Dabbousi opened sarcastically in a viral social media post. “But what ideology is going to be taught there?”
Then came the real punch.
“The ideology of how to bamboozle the grassroots into working like monkeys, only for baboons to be brought in from ‘amanone’-(abroad) to take positions…?” he seethed.
For a man who has long worn his loyalty to the NPP like a badge of honour — even at personal cost — this latest eruption suggests a breaking point. In what reads like both a political suicide note and a liberation manifesto, Dabbousi accused the party hierarchy of betrayal, elitism, and moral rot.
“Donkeys That Toiled for Power”
Drawing on raw metaphors and street parlance, Dabbousi didn’t mince words.
“Is it the ideology of idiots who smiled in your face when the going was tough, only to change their numbers once they were in government? Or for babies with sharp teeth, those arrogant motherfuckers who presided over the worst galamsey in the history of this country, to look at you with disdain as if you had transmogrified into a housefly?”
His language, while coarse and at times unpublishable in family-friendly forums, paints a picture of deep personal disillusionment — one echoed by many party foot soldiers who feel used, discarded, and mocked by those they helped usher into power.
Dabbousi’s accusations come at a sensitive time for the NPP, which is battling internal fractures, mounting public criticism over governance, and a fragile image as it prepares for the July Annual Delegates Conference.
“I Lost Everything Supporting Your Asses”
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Dabbousi detailed the personal toll of his unwavering loyalty during the NPP’s years in opposition.
“Those pieces of shit who came to me for stipends when we were in opposition… I lost everything supporting your asses from 2008 until 2016. Kwasiaaa! I am in shock!”
His declaration wasn’t just a political tirade — it was a lamentation from a man who gave his all and feels abandoned. He accused the NPP leadership of rewarding strangers and foreign-based party members at the expense of the local grassroots who sacrificed for the cause.
“It has taken me seven months to realise that the NDC are novices in thievery, but my NPP people are the GOAT — true professionals!”
NPP Yet to Respond
The NPP is yet to officially respond to Dabbousi’s outburst, though party insiders, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the rant as “disgraceful and unhelpful,” noting that Dabbousi “should know better.”
But others say his critique resonates with simmering frustrations among long-serving members who feel sidelined in favour of newer faces with proximity to power.
Political analysts say the ideological institute — reportedly aimed at preserving the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition — now risks becoming a lightning rod for deeper conversations about loyalty, reward, and what the NPP really stands for in 2025.
As for Dabbousi, his parting shot was as clear as it was scathing:
“Wallahi, after all the stories I’ve heard… it looks like I have to wait for the dust to be swept from underneath the carpet. But mark it — I will come after you.”
