The National Democratic Congress (NDC) general secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has said that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is not a credible candidate to be the president of Ghana.
Mr. Kwetey emphasized that Bawumia is unable to hold the nation’s highest office because he is an essential component of the current administration and is unable to separate himself from its failings.
Fifi Kwetey harshly criticized Dr. Bawumia and the government for their failure to apologize to Ghanaians for the catastrophe they have caused and for not accepting accountability for their economic mismanagement.
He expressed surprise that Dr. Bawumia has not addressed the current issues and is instead waiting to be elected president before enacting reforms, despite her repeated promises of revolutionary improvements in important sectors. A decision that Fifi Kwetey views as blatantly incompetent and lacking in political will.
Fifi Kwetey claimed in an interview on Channel One TV’s The Point of View that John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC, has far more credibility than Dr. Bawumia. She emphasized the former’s accomplishments and dedication to keeping word, which stand in sharp contrast to the latter’s unfulfilled promises.
“So, it that takes courage, it takes principle. We’re talking about the flagbearer of NPP, who actually is the head of the economic management team. Who has been at the heart of governance, who’s still promising what we call heaven, when he’s in power and capable of resolving the problem. Who’s promising that when he comes, he will resolve e-levy, you’re in power, resolve the e-levy. No, when I come, I’m going to resolve the e-levy.
“The taxes, when I come, I’m going to bring flat rate, oh really? You’re in power, you have the capacity to do it now, you’re in power you can do so many things. He’s still promising heaven when he has the capacity to be able to do it now and initiate.
“So, it’s not just about having been there on that part of Mahama, but it’s simply, about the difference in character. It’s about nobility, it’s about honour. Mahama has it, whereas the flagbearer of NPP absolutely has none,” he told host Bernard Avle.
