The call for change of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration has transcended beyond partisanship to a national clarion call, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, a former National Chair of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has noted.
The economic mismanagement and its accompanying hardship on the citizenry, according to Ofosu Ampofo, makes the calls for change a national duty.
He has called on Ghanaians to rally behind the NDC to oust the incompetent Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration for them to fix the mess this government has created.
“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 so many economic hardships [is voted out].
He has also criticised the Vice President and flag bearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for speaking like someone who is not part of the incumbent administration.
As head of the Economic Management Team and second most powerful person of the land, the former NDC Chair says he doesn’t expect him to absolve himself of blame from the failures of the administration he is the second in command.
“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,” he stated.
