"If you go round the ground, the statement people are making is that this is not a government of NDC" - Alban Bagbin, reporting from the grassroot.
The former Majority Leader has taken his crusade of criticism against the presidency another notch higher by disowning the current administration saying it is for "family and friends".
Alban Bagbin, MP for Nadowli-Kaleo is also standing by his remarks criticizing the president for being inaccessible and also lacking the political will to fight corruption.
Since his remarks, critics in government keep lining up to tell him off for comments seen as publicly ridiculing the president. The latest is a deputy minister for Information Felix Ofosu Kwakye who is calling on him to resign.
But Alban Bagbin has shot back insisting "we had to tell him [President Mahama] for him to be able to change".
The member of government's 'three wise men' is demanding that the party takeover the running of the presidency because "it is the party that promised the people" and got him elected.
He explained to Joy News that there are people who wrote the party manifesto and fought for John Mahama to become president and that these people ought to "be in charge of the governance of this country to make sure we implement the promises to the people".
"President Mahama cannot implement it alone", he charged
It is therefore unnerving, Bagbin suggested, to go the official residence of the president to find party outsiders manning the place.
"If you go to President Mahama's house, the official residence and Randy Abbey is in charge there, how do you expect NDC members to have access to the president?", Alban Bagbin said.
