“I believe that the NPP under President Akufo-Addo and Bawumia has taken this country for granted. And the silence of the voices we used to hear when NDC was in power is very surprising. But I believe that the ordinary Ghanaian will rise to the occasion and show that there’s a change of government” Mr Ofosu Ampofo of NDC stated.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) former chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has called Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), a failure.
The Vice President was criticized by him for his attempts to disassociate himself from the appalling economic mismanagement.
Mr. Ampofo chastised Dr. Bawumia for falling short of the expectations necessary to save the economy during an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on ChannelOne TV.
The Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, who is renowned for constantly putting up fresh concepts in an effort to seize power, was compared to the Vice President by the Ofosu Ampofo.
“I have come because the call for change of this government has moved beyond partisanship to a national clarion call. The clarion call is more or less a national call to duty to ensure that this government which had brought soo many economic hardships [is voted out].
“And I keep on asking myself is Bawumia who he claims to be who he is? Because when he speaks on the campaign platform now, I ask whether he’s Alan Kyerematen, because he speaks as if Alan who has left the NPP and trying to come out with new ideas.
“I wonder why a sitting Vice President would go and be making a certain statement and have forgotten his role as the chairman of the Economic Management Team. I heard him saying the reintroduction of the toll booths, you are part of this government?
“As the Vice President, it is your government. You are an integral part and the number two most important person. When he was appointed, the president indicated he was bringing Dr Bawumia because of his economic prowess and credentials to come and salvage the economy. So, completely he’s a failure, he’s a failure.”
Mr. Ampofo, the former National Chairman of the NDC, expressed surprise at the lack of discussion about the country’s challenges and advised Ghanaians to take a cue from the elections in South Africa and vote out the current government.
