Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, also known as Sir John has claimed that President John Mahama is ‘only trying to joke his way out of his incompetence’.
Sir John, reacting to the President’s recent comments about the opposition which many have condemned, said the President was only provoking the opposition to divert attention from his incompetence.
“He knows he is incompetent and wants to cover it up with concert but he won’t succeed with that…,” he said on Adom FM’s Midday News on Friday.
President John Mahama has courted negative press in recent times over comments targeted at the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He is reported to have said during a rally in Tamale that he wouldn’t have been President if he was not a member of the NDC.
Addressing party faithful at the Trade Fair Site in Accra, the President also claimed that aside former Presidents John Rawlings and Kufuor who have been Presidents in Ghana before him, no one was fit to describe him as an ‘incompetent President’.
In Ho, the President described an NPP press conference which responded to his utterances as a ‘rabbit press conference’ organized by their ‘Opana’ acting chairman.
Sir John believes the President is only ‘insulting’ the opposition to drive attention away from sensitive matters affecting the country.
“Why has he started his campaign this early, was he not the same person who claimed he used only 3 months to win power…but why the rush this time…I thought he said he was competent and his works would speak for him…?,” he quizzed.
