Dr. Ayew Afriyie, a Member of Parliament for the Effiduase Asokore constituency in the Ashanti region is urging Ghanaians to exercise patience and allow President John Dramani Mahama enough time to fix his government.
The call comes amidst growing pressure on President Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to sign the controversial anti-gay bill into law.
Speaking in an interview with Kwesi Parker Wilson, Dr. Afriye appealed to citizens to refrain from rushing President Mahama, emphasizing that he needs time to resolve the challenges facing his administration.
“With all due respect, let’s be honest with ourselves. This is not the time to bash him for the wrongs he is bringing up. NPP people or communicators who are listening to me, allow him some peace of mind for a few months to fix his government and budget, which should be his plan. Then you can start bringing up the dos and don’ts. It’s not the time to hit John, but it’s time for NPP to look at itself. If you have something to say, say it to your followers.” Dr. Afriye asserted.
The NPP MP also directed a message to members of his own party, advising them to focus on fixing internal issues within the party before criticizing President Mahama.
