Former Chairman of the Confiscated Vehicles Committee and an ardent activist for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Carl Wilson has described the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) leader, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as an angel who cannot be tagged with corruption.
According to him, though Nana Akufo-Addo is as clean, when corruption is mentioned, the country’s governance system which makes corruption easy to perpetuate will dent his angelic image.
Speaking on Okay Fm’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Mr. Carl Wilson said there is a need for a new of kind of governance system by voting for independent Presidential Candidates into power to steer the affairs of the country.
He hinted that though President Mahama abhors corruption, he is tainted because some NDC government officials are neck-deep in the canker.
“My fight against corruption in NDC gained me enemies, and so I was threatened and fear gripped my family as some party officials paid some NDC youth to lock up the party office because of me. Then Vice President Mahama was very interested in the fight against corruption at the Ports and advised me to stamp my authority at the Ports,” he hinted.
“…so I will say he had the political will to clean up the Ports and make money for this country…what is going on is not about President Mahama but the type of governance system in the country; put angel Akufo Addo, who is as clean as he comes with no corruption tag in his life as individual in the helm of affairs in 2016; one year later, the cries and the shouts you are hearing today about corruption, you will hear it again because of the system and not the person”, he stressed.
He maintained that he was tagged with corruption by some NDC folks in the party (NDC) because he was fighting the canker; asserting that “if you condone corruption in NDC, you will remain in office.”
“They blamed me for putting the party into disrepute by fighting corruption in NDC at the Ports and so there was a move to get me out of office because I was stopping them from engaging in corruption…vote NDC government out in 2016 general election and vote in independent Presidential Candidate; we want to separate the Presidency from the party, and that will stop the corruption in government,” he stressed.
