Ghana’s former Ambassador to the Netherlands, Dr Tony Aidoo says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was really a problem for the NDC to handle in the 2016 election.
According to him, the then vice presidential candidate of the NPP was the Achilles' heel of the NDC despite his flaws in some economic matters.
Dr. Tony Aidoo in his first interview with TV3 after returning from his diplomatic assignment noted that the NDC had no one to match the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana economic analysis.
He stressed that; the NDC’s communication team must have people with “historical recall” and “administrative memory” to counter Dr Bawumia’s in the next elections."
“What I missed was the inability of the NDC communication team to bring out the facts so as to challenge the comparative analysis that Dr Bawumia was making,” he noted.
“Dr Bawumia was the Achilles’ heel of the NDC. Not only for the 2016 elections but he started way back in 2012,” he added.
Dr. Tony Aidoo however noted that, Dr. Bawumia’s flaws were that “He ignored the fact that for the most part of the Kufuor administration, the eight years was virtually carried by donor financial support. All the social interventions that Kufuor implemented were donor supported.”
" . . At the time our national debt was about 6.8 billion dollars. In effect, our debt-to-GDP ratio certainly dropped sharply so on what grounds can Bawumia compare that an economy that was virtually carried by donor financial support was managed better than an economy that did not have those support?” he sought to know.

OSEEEEYEEEEEE!!!! Call it the reincarnation of Tony Aidoo. This time he has come back as an economist ready to counter Bawumia. I told you NDC has men. They were just lasing their boots to come and face Bawumia proper. By the way who else is emerging from the propaganda economic circles of the NDC to face Boakye Agyarko? That man is one hell of a break. A real gem. Oh, how about Ken Ofori Atta. I think that man now substitutes his cartoon network program for NDC press conferences. He's always having a good laugh at those finance students at the parliament. HMMM, NA WAAA FOR YOU OOOO... NDC. You have a looooong way to go.
IT IS THE WISH OF TONY AIDOO AND MANY NDC THAT AKKUFO ADDO WILL NOT RUN IN 2016. THEY KNOW VERY WELL THAT THEY ARE NO MATCH TO NPP NO MATTER WHO RUNS NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS AKKUFO ADDO. THEY ARE ALSO VERY WELL AWARE THAT THEY CAN NEVER MATCH BAWUAMIA IN ANY CONTEST. SO THEY HOPE TO GET OVER AKKUFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA SOONER IN OTHER TO HOPE FOR A CHANCE. NPP MIGHT BE SMARTER THAT NDC. THEY WILL MAKE AKUFFO ADDO GO FOR HIS TWO TERMS. THEY MAY THEN BRING ANOTHER PERSON FOR ANOTHER TWO TERMS. BAWUMIA WILL TAKE A REST,STUDY CONDITION IN THE NATION AT THE TIME AND COME OUT WITH A VERY STRONG POLICY FOR HIS OWN TWO TERM. NDC IS AFRAID THAT IF NPP DECIDE TO CARRY OUT SUCH A PLAN THEN THEY ARE DOOMED AND WILL GRADUALLY DISAPPEARING FROM THE POLITICAL STAGE OF THE COUNTRY. THIS IS THEIR FEAR SO THEY WORK OUT ALL OTHER STRATEGY TO REDUCE THIS LONG RULE OF NPP. NPP SHOULD RATHER BE BOLD AND FOCUS TO BUILD GHANA AND KEEP NDC OUT OF GOVERNMENT. THEY ONLY LOOT AND SHARE. THEY HAVE NOTHING GOOD FOR GHANA BUT TO COLLAPSE THE NATION. MANY GHANAIANS ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH NPP GOVERNMENT AND KEEP THEM IN POWER FOR LONER THAN WHAT NDC CAN ANTICIPATE.
Okay! I now understand why the NDC has been and is still trying to paint Dr. Bawumiah black. It is simple,'we can't March the man so lets bastardized him. Oh NDC! Indeed,as long as Bawumiah lives,you will continue to have this nightmare. Dr Tony Adioo, thank you so much for bringing this to our notice,at least we now know why your party has been doing that. BAWUMIAH PHOBIA aaaaa!
2020 will be a massacre for the Ndc. Bawumia will finish Ndc for real. Hehehehehe. Free SHS, paperless port, steady economy, a functioning NHIS card and so many things will bury the Ndc for good. Nana is a man of vision and I'd incorruptible. Bawumia is simply super intelligent. This is a winning team for Ghana.
IF TONY AIDOO THINKS HE IS TOUGH, HE SHOULD ATTEMPT ANSWERING DR BAWUMIA'S 140 QUESTIONS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN ANSWERED BY ANY NDC MEMBER, GURU OR FOO.LSOLDIER.
You know all this and yet no where to be found when Bawumia was doing his analysis. You better stop talking and allow them solve the problems you created. Don't come and disturb our ears.
ANOTHER BRUTE HAS RE-SURFACED, BUT, THIS TIME, HE IS SOBER. NANA ADDO'S FREE SHS HAS TOTALLY TAKEN THE WIND OUT OF THE SATANIC NDC'S SAILS!!!!!!!
