Dr Tony Aidoo, ex-Deputy Defence Minister in the ousted National Democratic Congres (NDC) Government has attacked Dr Ibn Chambas, NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Bimbilla on the latter’s bid for the post of Executive Secretary for ECOWAS.
Dr Tony Aidoo, did not approve of Chambas’ desire for the ECOWAS post, saying apart from the NDC party losing him (Chambas), to the NPP, Chambas by being endorsed by President Kufuor for the ECOWAS post was lending credence to the NPP’s policy of an all inclusive government.
Drawing Mrs Emma Mitchel, formerly of the NDC into his line of attack on his comrades, Aidoo said, “Chambas like Emma Mitchel have provided the ammunition for the NPP to say that ‘we have established an all inclusive government”.
Aidoo, speaking in an interview on Radio Gold last week, insinuated that the NPP Government’s policy of an all inclusive government in reality was not true, but so far had been a window dressing exercise.
According to Aidoo, the NPP decided to exploit the expressed interest of Ibn Chambas for the top ECOWAS post after the NPP’s nominated candidates (three in number) had been rejected.
Aidoo asserted that the NPP had no hand in putting up Chambas for the post, but rather it was Chambas himself who applied for the post, lobbying “his Nigerian contacts”.
