Ahwoi stole my intellectual property for part of his ‘Working with Rawlings’ book – Anyidiho alleges

Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has claimed ownership of aspects of a book authored by Professor Kwamena Ahwoi in which he chronicled his experiences on working with the former president and founder of the party, Jerry John Rawlings.

In an interview on Angel Morning Show, Anyidoho referenced specific passages from the book, alleging they were originally his work during their collaboration on Atta Mills’s biography.

He disclosed that in the book where Professor Kwamena Ahwoi wrote, “On the contrary, he once told me never to be deceived by anybody into attacking Rawlings, because once I do that it will be the end of my politica career,” as an advise to him, Koku Anyidoho from Atta Mills, was his patent Ahwoi stole when they were both working on Mills’s biography.

Koku Anyidoho questioned how Mr. Ahwoi could put that in his book and pointed out that it is his idea when they were working on Mills’s biography.

“Do you know why it came into his book? It came into his book because when Professor Kwamena and I were writing President Mills’s biography, he stole certain things I was writing for Mills’s biography and wrote it in his book. So he is not the one who wrote it,” he alleged.

He further revealed that, interviews that were conducted purposefully for the biograpohy of the late John Attah Mills were also stolen and mysteriously written in Professor Awhoi’s book.

“Apart from that, the dishonesty on the part of Ahwoi that we organized and arranged to interview individuals  for President Mills’ biography, Kwamena Ahwoi goes ahead and puts it in this book as if he interviewed those people purposely for this book, this is intellectual dishonesty,” Anyidoho alleged.

These allegations from Koku Anyidoho are developments and reactions after Kwesi Ahwoi, a brother of Kwamena Awhoi, admonished the running mate of former President John Dramani Mahama to embrace herself to be president in the case NDC wins the 2024 polls.
