The National Communication Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress,(NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has chastised the Sefwi Chief who described ex-President Mahama as a failed president.
During Dr. Bawumia’s campaign visit to the Western-North Region on Friday, May 3, 2024, a member of the Sefwi Traditional Council asserted that Mr. Mahama, in contrast to the Vice President, has a tainted history of failure during his tenure as a former president.
“I am speaking for all of us here. Let’s say I have a cocoa farm which I entrusted to a caretaker. This caretaker allowed the cocoa to be affected by swollen shoot and other viruses, for which I sacked him. He has gone and returned, seeing that the cocoa is doing better, and is asking me to hand it over to him again. Would you hand it over to him?”
“We won’t hand it back to him to destroy the cocoa farm again. This is about former President John Mahama, who has been president before. The issue would be different if he had never been president; we would consider giving him a chance, but he has been there before. We saw what he did, and as Ghanaians, we didn’t like it, which is why we voted him out. Today, he has returned and is asking that we vote him back.” the chief stated.
Responding in an interview with Kwesi Parker Wilson on Oyerepa Breakfast Time, Sammy Gyamfi described the Sefwi Chief’s statement as ‘senseless’.
“I respect chiefs, I respect his opinion but this one we can’t agree because it does not make sense.” The NDC National Communication Officer asserted.
Sammy Gyamfi, however, revealed that the chief is a former NPP constituency executive in the Western-North Region.
