The First Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sofo Azorka, has questioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the borrowed $140million meant for infrastructural development.
“How much did you borrow and where is the USD 140million your government borrowed,” Sofo Azorka questioned the NPP National Vice Chairman, Omari Wadie, on the ‘Anɔpa Bɔfoɔ‘ morning show on Angel FM on Monday, September 14, 2020.
Chief Sofo Azorka claimed that the said amount borrowed by the NPP was shared among officials in government, instead of being used for the “intended” infrastructural development.
“So, when we talk of infrastructural development, the NPP should keep quiet and never try to compete with the NDC,” he stated.
Countering his opponent Mr. Azorka said the NDC never disappoints and that explains why its candidate, John Mahama, launched a manifesto with good policies for the people on Monday, September 7, 2020.
He added that, during the tenure of the NDC government in 2016, former President John Dramani Mahama did a lot of work when it comes to infrastructure.
To buttress his argument, he said that, “in 2016, John Dramani Mahama did not cut sod like President Nana Akufo-Addo is currently doing instead, Mahama was commissioning big projects like the [Kwame Nkrumah] Circle Interchange, University of Ghana Medical Hospital and other hospitals.”
Chief Sofo Azorka believes that Ghanaians know and can testify that John Mahama is a man of his words who never deceives.
“We are cautioning the NPP that, they should stop telling lies and present the facts because their leader, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo does not stand the chance of becoming the President of Ghana in 2021,” Mr. Azorka stated.
