The Leader of the United Progressive Party and
one time confidant of President John Dramani Mahama, Akwasi Addae Odike, has
revealed that the President has personally told him the international community
does not support the third term bid of the NDC.Mr. Odike stated
emphatically that President Mahama is very much aware that he does not have the
support of the country's major development partners as well as the international
community.
According to him, the president personally confessed to him
that if he can legitimize his position, then he has to work hard in order to
secure convincing victory because he did not have the backing of the
international partners for third term of the NDC.
"I am daring the
president to come and deny; he dare not because he knows that I have lots of
secret about him". he noted.
The UPP leader, who made the revelation on
NEW MERCURY FM in Kumasi during a programme dubbed 'NPP Hour' also lambasted the
President Mahama-led administration for excessive borrowing and misplaced
priorities, adding that the NDC government is borrowing to consume instead of
spending on investment that can yield dividends to be able to pay
itself.
He said President Mahama had completely lost the plot, stressing
that the government is bereft of economic ideas thereby running the country into
a ditch.
Mr. Odike further observed that the President Mahama-led
administration cannot boast of a single legacy, adding that all previous
governments are credited with certain unique policy except the current
regime.
"From Nkrumah, Acheampong, Rawlings right to Kufuor, you have
some unique policies to identify them but what does President Mahama have to
show off, nothing!" he said. |
