The NDC Presidential candidate, Prof. Mills especially, and the party as a whole cannot win this year’s elections, deserted Egle Party National Chairman and Deputy Minister of Communications, Owuraku Amofa, is reported by the NPP News as having stated.
Amofa, currently at an undisclosed location in the United States with his family, said through a spokesman, that Prof. Mills and an NDC victory is too ominous a prospect to contemplate since it is bound to set the country back, at the best.
He expressed disgust with the management style of the Vice- President who has been shrouded by the very clique that ensconced President Rawlings in their ideas, which eventually turned to be more in the parochial interest than that of the nation. This clique, whose imposition have forced Prof. Mills to abandon the principles that endeared him to some of them, are the same that shot down the proposal to make Dr Obed Asamoah the party’s vice presidential candidate.
He identified them as the very ones who presided over the brutal application of the rules of probity and accountability in the early days of the PNDC and yet, are today, the greatest beneficiaries of the system and own huge investment companies. The Egle Chairman cautioned that any mistake by Ghanaians resulting in another term for the NDC would compound the situation, since the country would then be treated with outright contempt by the string pulling clique, who at this stage, would be under the illusion that they own the country.
