The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has lambasted the General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for criticizing the former president, John Dramani Mahama.
According to the Chairman of the NDC, Mr. Boadu has no mandate to criticize the flag bearer of their party.
He also accused Mr. Boadu of failing to protect his party’s seat in Parliament.
“What I want to tell the NPP General Secretary John Boadu who’s suddenly had a penchant for wearing suits and addressing press conferences and insulting ex-President Mahama is that he was elected General Secretary when the NPP had 169 seats in Parliament. He has failed woefully to protect the 169 seats and it has today dropped to 137 seats,’’ said Chairman Ofosu Ampofo.
Addressing a gathering in the Ashanti region, Chairman Ofosu Ampofo stated: “If we are talking about competency and who can manage, John Boadu should not come and compare himself to Mr. Mahama”.
“We are all witnesses to the logistics that the NPP deployed. We know the huge sums of monies the NPP spent during the elections and we also know all the things they shared to win votes. If you are a General Secretary and you are given all these things and you lose most of the seats you had and the NPP is using force to declare themselves the Majority in Parliament. How dare John Boadu to insult Mahama”.
