The Akufo-Addo administration has been beset by a string of corruption, according to Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for which Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen should have resigned.
If Mr. Kyerematen had had the guts to leave the current administration, which in his opinion has been mired in a string of corruption scandals, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe claimed he would have followed him.
He said, “The Alan case, Alan is a nice gentleman but politics you don’t use nice gentleman to do politics,” in an interview with TV3’s Johnnie Hughes. You’ll need individuals who can assert their strength and say, “This is it; I stand by it.”
- Alan-Bawumia ticket is the greatest tandem for the NPP in 2024’– Nana Akomea
- Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe: Bawumia is good, but the NPP structure will make it difficult for him to be president.
“We have had series of corruption cases in the government in which Alan is a member. If Alan had resigned, I would have followed him anywhere, he did not have the courage to do so and as such I don’t see him as a leader.”
In the case of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe said the structure of the NPP will make it difficult for him be the flagbearer and eventually, President of Ghana.
He said he has known Dr Bawumia for quite sometime and can attest to the fact that he is fine gentleman however, the NPP will make it difficult for him to achieve his ultimate ambition of becoming Head of State.
“I did an interview, it was with a foreign magazine, I will find out if I still have it, I will share with you, where I made plain that by the structure of our party, Bawumia cannot come to power.
“Bawumia is a fine gentlemen, if Bawumia would have had that independent mind and strength and not just always praise what the president has done or has not done, I would have looked at him differently, I know Bawumia very well..”
