A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has issued a warning to President John Dramani Mahama.
According to Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, Ghanaian youths are unforgiving.
He asserted that the youths voted for John Mahama because they wanted jobs and they expect their aspirations to be met by the 24-hour economy policy and other promises.
Speaking in an interview on Asaase Radio, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko stated, “I think the current president is probably the most prepared president we’ve had. From assemblyman all the way to where he is now, vice president, president, you’ve been in opposition, seen who your real friends are, learned from your mistakes, identified missed opportunities, and now you’ve been given another chance”.
“The youth are unforgiving. They want jobs. They voted for you because they expect their aspirations to be met by your 24-hour economy policy and other promises.
Satisfying them in this world of social media, new media, where every government action is overexposed and exaggerated, is a huge challenge,” he said.
He added, “But you must remember that your role is not to fulfil people’s aspirations directly, but to create the enabling environment for them to pursue those aspirations. If the government does that, creating space and opportunity, the youth must also put in the hard work to realise their goals.”
Meanwhile, Professor Ransford Gyampo, the CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority has told President John Dramani Mahama not to be swayed by praises from Gabby Otchere-Darko a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Ransford Gyampo, John Mahama should not be hoodwinked by the praises heaped on him by persons who used to criticise him.
He asserted that whether John Mahama is praised or not stolen government money under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government will be recovered.
Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, June 21, Professor Gyampo stated, “Mahama is being touted with accolades from some people who had criticised him severely. Whether Mahama’s accolades are touted or not, the report of the ORAL will be implemented.
“Regardless of whatever people say about him, that he is doing well, that he is the most prepared president, we will collect our money, even if you praise him or you don’t praise him. President should not be swayed by these things,” he added.
