Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Ohene Ntow has attributed the abysmal performance of the current regime to the ‘yentie Obia’ attitude of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo unlike former President John Agyekum Kuffour hardly listens to counsel from other members of his government hence his abysmal performance.
The former Morning Show host said this attitude of the President is alien to the NPP insisting that former President J.A Kuffour practised an all-inclusive government which contributed to the success of his government.
“President Akufo-Addo said he is the president and that he (Ofori-Atta) will remain and truly he has remained till now.
“As someone representing the party, even when people in the party express concerns about something, his position is that he wields the power. We know that when party people speak Alan Kyerematen listens, President Kufuor as well listens. But Nana Akufo-Addo when everyone speaks, says yentie obiaa (I won’t listen to anyone),” he stated in an interview on Neat FM.
The NPP recently announced that Nana Ohene Ntow and three other leading members of the NPP by the decision to endorse Alan Kyerematen’s independent bid had automatically forfeited their membership in the party.
But according to Nana Ohene Ntow, it is the autocratic tendencies of President Akufo-Addo including his support for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer of the party that has led to Alan Kyerematen leaving the NPP and their decision to join his campaign.
