O.B. Amoah dares Mills, says I will follow you if…
Audrey Agyiri-Inkoom, Ghanadot
Accra, Jan 18, Ghanadot - Hon. Osei Bonsu Amoah, an New
Patriotic Party MP for Nsawam/Aburi Constituency, is
promising the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC)his
personal support and campaign to win followers if the
government could achieve even a quarter of what he says the
NPP government under President J.A. Kufuor achieved for
Ghana.
He believes President Mills, who at the weekend described
the eight year-rule of the NPP as ‘wasted years’, has by
that claim showed a high sense of insincerity and political
populism.
In an interview on Oman FM this today, O.B. Amoah said the
NDC “should take the next elections” if the government is
able to achieve even a quarter of what the NPP achieved in
sectors such as roads, schools, housing and hospitals.
According to him, if the president could describe the eight
years of the NPP as wasted years, then the NDC’s period
would end up as ‘graveyard’.
“You don’t go and speak like this and when we hit you back”
then you say it is politics”, he counseled explaining that
he had expected the NDC to discuss issues, just like the NPP,
at congress.
He said rather than speak of issues, the NDC decided that
their easiest target was to take the NPP for bashing, and
talk about “effusions, sanctimonious,” questioning “ who is
more sanctimonious than this (NDC)party?”
The MP for Nsawam/Abusi said he knows President Mills very
well after working with him at the Internal Revenue Service
and also lecturing him (OB) on Company Law and believes the
law professor is above the level of populist politicking he
ventured into at the weekend but if he continued that way,
he should not be surprised at reprisals, and when they come,
they should not be interpreted as personal attacks.
To him, if the President attends congress, he should
concentrate on his congress but “if he touches NPP we will
hit back and we will hit back well,” warning “Don’t come and
hit below the belt”…(or) we (NPP) will also give you an
upper cut.
