The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has challenged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to explain why John Dramani Mahama was unable to accomplish as Vice President what he later did as President.
In a Facebook post on Monday, August 12, Mr Nkansah called on the NDC to clarify this issue before piling pressure on the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to implement his policies while still in his current role.
Nkansah highlighted that Mahama, during his tenure as Vice President, was unable to significantly advance his policy ideas, only putting them into action after becoming President.
He questioned the fairness of the NDC’s recent criticism of Dr Bawumia, urging the Vice President to execute his plans now rather than waiting until he potentially becomes President.
Over time, the NDC has consistently criticized Dr Bawumia, urging him to implement his policies and promises as Vice President to improve the lives of Ghanaians immediately, rather than waiting for presidential power.
They argue that Bawumia should take concrete action now to demonstrate his leadership and commitment.
However, Nkansah insists that until the NDC can adequately explain Mahama’s record as Vice President, they should refrain from demanding that Dr Bawumia implement his policies at this stage.
He suggests that the same standards should apply to both leaders, highlighting the need for consistency in political expectations.
“Since the NDC wants Dr Bawumia to implement all his plans now, can they tell us why John Mahama didn't do the things he did as President when he was Vice President?”.
