Member of Parliament (MP) for Adenta Constituency, Yaw Buaben Asamoa has described as ungratefulness the action taken by former President John Dramani Mahama and his party, the NDC over the Presidential and Parliamentary election results.

According to him, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is failing to realise that the various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and many Ghanaians who voted for them were an investment in the opposition with the hope to put the NPP government under President Akufo-Addo in check.

Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, the Director of Communication for the NPP said that the opposition NDC is downplaying the power vested in them by the Civil Society Organisations who campaigned for the NDC to have the power to conduct their Parliamentary activities effectively.

He said that the NDC is rather disturbing the peace of Ghanaians who voted for them to deepen democracy.

“The NDC is being ungrateful of the power given to them by Ghanaians to put the NPP government in check. The NDC is disturbing the peace of Ghanaians; they are disappointing many Ghanaians and Civil Society Organisations who voted for them to deepen democracy. You are out there threatening to foment trouble in the country,” he chastised.

“In what way is Mahama asking the youth to rise? When we had issues with the 2012 election, we went to the Supreme Court . . . what is the youth rising to do? to destroy the nation in order for you to win power? If you finally win the power, who are you to rule over?” he quizzed the NDC.

To him, former President Mahama and the NDC have demonstrated that they are only interested in power and not the wellbeing of Ghanaians.

He assured the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) their action will rather irritate Ghanaians than to think that it will fetch the power they so desire for as it is the hope of Ghanaians that the opposition NDC will work hard to prove that the country’s democracy has grown.

He cautioned that the opposition NDC will be shooting themselves in the foot for bastardising the media, the court and the security today as they will need the services of these institutions one day when they are lucky to win power again.

“All the NDC is doing is to throw tantrums and bastardising all institutions; the court, media and the security for the sake of power. Who are you going to work with when you win power one day? Are they not the same institutions the NDC will be working with and yet you are bastardising them this way," he wondered.

He maintained that the results from the 2020 general election indicate that Ghanaians have accepted the Akufo-Addo led NPP government, as the massive votes the President garnered are a testament of the fact that Ghanaians want the Akufo-Addo administration to continue.

He again mentioned that the manner in which Ghanaians voted in the 2020 general election indicates the fact that they are looking beyond the construction of roads and other infrastructural development to their personal interest.
