Former Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, under the NDC government, Joseph Yamin says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is repeating some mistakes made by former President John Dramani Mahama during his tenure.
He explained that, the 'Yentia obiaa' and 'dead goat' mantra which caused Mr Mahama the presidency, is likely to haunt President Nana Addo for some decisions he is making.
Yamin indicated that the President has turned a deaf ear to advices that will sustain his ‘Free SHS’ policy which commenced a week ago.
The Minority in Parliament among others have raised some concerns about the policy but the president has assured that the policy has come to stay.
“The Free SHS Policy has come to stay and will be sustained,” President Nana Addo told a section of Ghanaian residents at a dinner in New York last Sunday.
But Joseph Yamin described the President’s comment as “cheeky” and “unfriendly” – he also questioned why Ghanaians have stopped short of condemning him.
“So because he did not add the 'Yentia Obiaa' song like what President Mahama did, we don’t see any wrong with his comment?” he quizzed.
“That statement is cheeky; it’s a cheeky statement from the President. The President is ignoring the advice and comments from people which will sustain the policy. Is the President aware that parents are going through some difficulties with this policy implantation?
“ . . and he is there making cheeky statement,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie'.

You guys perpetually shielded ex-President Mahama from the truth that eventually led to the doom of NDC and you are not ashamed to say this publicly now?
Thank you Kwabena Gyamfi. Let me add on to you submission. Yes Yamin has exposed JDM big time. At the time they were in government, they never criticized JDM but sang his praise saying all that he was doing was good for Ghana. Now he is the first to admit that JDM made mistakes for which he believes NAADA is following suite. Anyway what better suggestions has he brought on board? Absolutely nothing!!! And of course if he could lead a government chattered flight filled with three million dollars to share to footballers and sheepishly made noise about it, what better advise can he give NAADA? I bet they will stay in opposition for a long time.
So Mahama made mistakes? Onaapo
With the likes of Yamin in NDC, NPP will always have an an advantage in Asante Region. Yamin never makes a sensible contribution to issues. The man is simply an idi0t!
I really don't understand this guy.the president said any suggestions are welcome, i don't see the basis of your comment, what did you do when you people were in power 4 the eight yrs
Oooh Joseph yeah-man (in Jamaican voice) have you finally admitted that mahama made mistakes?? ay3 ka! Nana indeed made that statement and there is nothing wrong with it, however it will sound wrong to haters like who claimed free shs cannot be done! masa yeah-man, edey pain u waa, I can see . . . but tell your ndc crooks you lot are going to be in opposition for not less than 30 years coz we will not bring you back in anytime soon to come and mess things up like you did to the national health insurance . . .
This guy has just confirmed what we have been saying all along that John Ford Mahama is simply incompetent and greedy...... He left the country on autopilot.... How can a serious president watch whiles galamsey destroyed our water bodies? Mahama is simply not fit to rule this country again.....
He was carried away by the so-called admiration by some hypocrites about his looks. It really got into his head and in the process lost track of responsibilities as a presidents. He went as far as 'forking' peoples' wives and plundered the country.
Wo de3 wo gyimie de3 3kyen ndcfuo nyinaa de3. You couldn't help John mahama to win the 1 million votes in the Ashanti region and you still playing the bufo*nery. Ndc jaguar joker. ***barred word*** Is back with his st*pidity. Go and find work to do idi*t,son of a terrorist.
