Mahama’s Rant On SC Ruling Frustrating – Buaben Asamoa
Yaw Buaben Asamoa, the communications director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said the continuous outburst by former President John Mahama on the declaration by the Supreme Court that Deputy Speakers can be counted and vote on issues while presiding is frustrating.
According to him, Mahama is a “desperate individual” who wants to win power by any means possible but does not have any new policies to convince Ghanaians.
“This is a desperate individual who is seeking a position without any new policies or options to offer. I find his comments demeaning of a statesman who seeks to lead the country. Because you’re [Mahama] denigrating the country’s image abroad and yet you seek to lead it. You’re not just denigrating in charge; you’re attacking the basic of every democracy; that’s the judiciary,” Asamoa told Asaase News‘ Gemma Appiah.
“We [NPP] have consistently rebutted and it’s sad that we have to keep coming back to this same old funny allegation which makes no difference to our political wellbeing and he keeps going about it so, it’s frustrating.
“…He wants to be President without an agenda, he wants to be President without a well thought through process that defines him better than before. He wants to be a President but he doesn’t have a platform. So, he is seeking to use lies and half-truths to establish a platform but those things don’t go far,” Asamoa added.
