The Nkoranza South Constituency Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Isaac Yaw Ofosu, has proposed to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to immediately call off its on-going “Thank You Tour” and rather embark on “apology tour.”
Mr. Yaw Ofosu, who is also called Yaw White, told Fabea FM, an FM radio based in Nkoranza in the Bono East Region that the NPP should compensate its members with an apology rather than a “Thank You Tour.”
“They should be apologizing to the country for their bad governance”, he stated, emphasizing that the party failed Ghanaians and therefore needs to confront the reasons for their declining public trust.
In his opinion, the NPP should take cue from President John Mahama’s incredible leadership rather than further irritating Ghanaians with any “Thank You Tour.”
“The tour’s leader, Dr. Bawumia whose mis-governance, arrogance and corruption, incredibility caused the defeat, he (Dr. Bawumia) does not deserve to be given the opportunity to lead this country,” he said and added that Dr. Bawumia needs genuine repentance to restore the party’s image rather than preaching the blame games on the tour.
He also raised concerns about the internal tensions within the NPP following its presidential primaries, cautioning that the party has not done enough to heal its wounds, saying: “Dr. Bawumia needs sobber reflection on the mistakes done during his tenure as a vice president.
He added that the timing and tone of the tour confirms President Mahama’s statement on “the country’s economy was managed criminally by the NPP government” and even now in opposition, they are managing their internal affairs criminally”.
“Dr. Bawumia is trying to make his case ahead of his competitors, he can’t even unite the party members, and Ghanaians will never trust him with unprecedented loss of the 2024 elections”, further said.
