The South African Council of Elders Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken on a former Deputy Secretary of the party for his incessant attacks on former President John Mahama.
Benjamin Kofi Quashie while speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse programme, described what he said was Koku Anyidoho’s hatred for Mr Mahama as “nauseating and legendary”.
He was reacting to criticisms since Mr Mahama said last week he would scrap the award of ex-gratia should he be elected into office again as president.
“Mr. Anyidoho was a former government appointee and benefited from ex-gratia. Why is he not also returning his to the State as he wants others to believe about President Mahama?” he wondered.
“I know he was the former Deputy General Secretary (of the NDC), but what hasn't he said about former President Mahama? What didn't he say about Asiedu Nketia before he became National Chairman?"
He further reprimanded the former Head of Communications at the Presidency for neglecting to comment on the current economic crisis of the country but instead being fixated on NDC issues.
Touching on scrapping ex-gratia as the campaign message of the NDC Presidential hopeful, Mr Quashie believed that it would inform ordinary Ghanaians of the thoughtfulness of Mr Mahama.
“The party is coming up with a brilliant manifesto that we're all going to see when the NDC elects the flagbearer and from there the party would roll out its programmes and policies for all to see.
“I can assure you that Mr Mahama walks the talk and whatever he's saying, he would definitely do. This is a feather in the cap. It would never be a dent on President Mahama's campaign. President Mahama is the only rescuer of our country from the economic doldrums we find ourselves in", he ended.
