Mustapha Gbande, the deputy general secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), claims that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has not yet recognized Ghanaians’ determination to remove them from office.
Speaking on the Ekosii Sen show on Asempa FM, he contended that the NPP’s loss in the most recent Akwatia by-election is indicative of the electorate’s mounting dissatisfaction.
“We won the Akwatia by-election through hard work. The NPP is yet to realise that Ghanaians want to punish them. By the time they feel the full impact of their wrongs, they may even be registering a new political party,” Gbande stated.
Additionally, he rejected President Akufo-Addo’s assertions that the NPP will retake power on the basis of both his and former President John Kufuor’s legacies, stating that the current administration has a history of scandals.
He claims that the administration cannot use propaganda to hide its shortcomings since it has “led a gang that ripped the country off.”
“Akufo-Addo saying they will regain power because of his works and that of Kufuor is not it. I thought he would have reflected in consideration of the scandals in his government. What has Akufo-Addo done apart from leading a gang of people who ripped this country off? And now they think they can whitewash themselves with lies,” he said.
