New Patriotic Party MP for Nsawam/Aburi Constituency, Osei Bonsu Amoah is promising the ruling National Democratic Congress his personal support and campaign to win followers if the government could achieve even a quarter of what he says the NPP government under President J.A. Kufuor achieved for Ghana.He believes President Mills, who at the weekend described the eight year-rule of the NPP as ‘wasted years’, has by that claim showed a high sense of insincerity and political populism.O.B. Amoah said the NDC “should take the next elections” if the government is able to achieve even a quarter of what the NPP achieved in sectors such as roads, schools, housing and hospitals.He said if the president could describe the eight years of the NPP as wasted years, then the NDC’s period would end up as ‘graveyard’.“You don’t go and speak like this and when we hit you back” then you say it is politics, he counseled Tuesday morning on Oman FM, explaining that he had expected the NDC to discuss issues, just like the NPP, at congress. He said rather than speak of issues, the NDC decided that their easiest target was to take the NPP for bashing, and talk about “effusions, sanctimonious,” questioning “who is more sanctimonious than this (NDC)party?”O.B. Amoah said he knows President Mills very well after working with him at the Internal Revenue Service and also having been lectured on Company Law by Mills. He believes the law professor was above the level of populist politicking that he ventured into at the weekend but counsels that if he continued that way, he (Mills) should not be surprised at reprisals, and when they come, they should not be interpreted as personal attacks.He said if the President attends congress, he should concentrate on his congress but “if he touches NPP we will hit back and we will hit back well,” warning “Don’t come and hit below the belt”…(or) we (NPP) will also give you an "upper cut".He said there was nothing extraordinary about the NDC’s 8th Delegates Congress held in Tamale at the weekend and that if it ended peacefully, that was how it was supposed to end.Story by Isaac Yeboah/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
