The flagbearer of the All People’s Congress (APC), Mr. Hassan Ayariga, has asked vice president and flagbearer for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Bawumia to stop crying for the steering wheel because the car is not a toy car.
Mr Ayariga said this at a press conference that “I don’t know why Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia is running for President” since former President John Mahama had to be removed from office when 4 cedis equaled a dollar. Ghanaians need 16.00 cedis to earn $1.00.
Today, the cedi has become the worst currency under the so-called economic Messiah,” in reference to Dr Bawumia.
According to him, Ghanaian businessmen and women are “becoming poorer against their counterparts in other countries due to the high rate of the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi.”
He mentioned that the depreciation of the cedi cost the Ghanaian government more than GHS 10 billion.
“I don’t know how many of you have changed dollars, euros or pounds this morning but no one can dispute the fact that the Bawumia-led Economic Management Team has done a woeful job at keeping the cedi afloat. There is no strength in the cedi against the major trading currencies,” Mr Ayariga complained.
He has therefore counseled Dr. Bawumia and the ruling New Patriotic Party to focus on “finishing the 8 rather than breaking the 8, because there is no 8 to break.”
He said: “Dr. Bawumia should know that Ghanaians don’t have a short memory,” adding: “The suffering is real and escalating, so he should stop the jokes.”
“Dr. Bawumia, please stop crying for the steering wheel” because “the car is not a toy.”
The steering wheel, Mr Ayariga, noted, “was given to you and your boss, and you both drove to a different direction.”
“You have lost credibility as a party and as a candidate,” he said, pointing out that the NPP and its flagbearer have “no good policies” and also are full of “deceit and propaganda,”
“Your only option left is vote-buying,” Mr Ayariga added.
He believes that Dr. Bawumia ought to monitor his ‘It Is Possible’ slogan since “Ghanaians are not listening to you anymore. You have inflicted pain and suffering on us, so, ‘it’s possible’ has no chance. Rather, use that resource and change the narrative.”
“Our nation has become a banana republic under your watch, and it’s pathetic, Mr. Vice president.”
