Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has stated that the opposition NDC’s biggest problem is former president John Dramani Mahama.
According to him, maintaining Mahama as flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after his massive loss in the 2016 elections was a mistake by the party.
He dispelled claims that Prof Kwamena Ahwoi and former president Jerry Jon Rawlings are the challenges the NDC must overcome to win the December polls, insisting it is John Mahama rather.
He implored the NDC to find a worthy replacement for the former president and come back stronger in 2024.
“People think we insult the NDC but that is not the case. From 2016 they did nothing about the in-land ports. You sit somewhere and call for debate on infrastructure, you think it’s a spelling bee or quiz competition? Evidence abound for people to see the good works of the NPP. I don’t hate Mahama or NDC but any God-fearing person knows that we’ve done better than them”.
“During football matches, when you are substituted, you don’t come back again. Governance is not spelling bee contest or quiz. Governance is not about proverbs. We need to be serious in this country”.
“NDC’s problem is not Ahwoi or Rawlings. Their problem is the return of Mahama who was removed by Ghanaians in 2016. They should have come with a different person. The person they are bringing is the problem”, he said.
He demanded the NDC to release their manifesto if they claim the NPP is rehashing old promises.
“Where is their manifesto? They are the opposition party so they should have released it first. They want to copy some portions of the NPP manifesto. Moreover, the ordinary Ghanaian does not really depend on manifesto. They want visible things that impact their lives”, he said.
