National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearership aspirant Alban Bagbin has said that, President Akufo Addo should take it upon himself and pay the Menzgold customers because they brought him to power.

The 2nd Deputy Speaker of Parliament has said, the government should do the needful and settle the aggrieved customers becuse it is the cause of all the difficulties facing Menzgold and the customers.

Speaking on Okay FM, an Accra based radio station the  Member of Parliament (MP) for Nadowli/Kaleo constituency said,  "who will not believe to invest in Menzgold if he or she saw the President and other state officials taking pictures with Nana Appiah Mensah, CEO of the company?  They will think that he is doing a genuine business. They contributed a lot to their dubious activities".

He added “we shouldn’t politicize these issues, it misuse of power if the government says it will not use tax payers money to pay off their money.

He further stated that government will be acting with impunity if he refuses to pay off the affected customers. Don’t forget that they are the very people who voted him into power,” he stressed.

Speaking on his political ambtion and the upcoming primaries for the flagbearership position for the NDC,  Mr Bagbin said“I am a winner….you know I am a winner because when I am committed to something, I devote my everything to it and with the help of  God I always win.”

He will be contesting alongside former President John Mahama, Spio Gabrah and the former Vice Chancellor for the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Joshua Alabi.
