General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu says the good job being done in Accra by the regional minister, Henry Quartey will affect the party’s support base on the ground.
Under the ‘Make Accra Work Again’ campaign, the Minister has moved to have some buildings in waterways demolished and also clear the dirt that has engulfed the city.
However, the NPP leader is unhappy with the work because he believes it’ll affect the party’s chances in the next elections.
“One thing you look at is that government works does not go against party support on the ground. For instance, the work being done by the Greater Accra Regional Minister is good but it will affect party support on the ground. So, you have to find a way of balancing it so that the country will move forward and the party members will also understand,” John Boadu told Angel FM.
“Obviously, it will affect people party people. The traders who are being sacked and the trotro drivers who are being told not to park at a particular place, all of this will affect the party so there must be a balance. There can be a policy that is very good but its implementation could affect the party people so you always have to balance it,” he added.
