A former National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Ejura Sekyeredumase in the Ashanti Region, Mohammed Issifu Pangadu has admitted to being a beneficiary of President Akufo-Addo’s Planting for Food and Jobs initiative.
According to him, although his fellow NDC members are unhappy with his honesty, it’ll be hypocrisy on his side to deny the fact that the initiative came to his rescue when things could have been difficult for him.
He also alluded that both the NDC and NPP have contributed their quota in helping farmers, particularly with the free fertilizer program.
“When I was in Parliament, even though both NDC and NPP or majority and minority disagree on many issues; when it comes to issues of national development, we build consensus in the interest of Ghana. Why should you have a problem with a testimony from a former NDC MP who is benefiting from NPP’s good intervention?” Pandagu quizzed.
“Both NDC and NPP are beneficiaries of subsidized fertilizers and improved seeds. It has improved the yields of farmers and I have benefited tremendously. I’m a Muslim so if I stand anywhere and give false testimony about it, Allah will punish me,” he added.
