National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has accused flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of lacking originality, and passing off other’s ideas as his own.
He cited two distinct NDC policies which he claims Dr Bawumia has “stolen“.
The NDC National Chairman was speaking in an interview on Ahotor FM on Tuesday May 7th.
“We haven’t even launched our manifesto but the Vice President has already started stealing ideas like the free tertiary education for Persons With Disabilities and the ICT training programmes we had captured in our 2020 manifesto. What happens is that, they have our 2020 manifesto from which they copied the things we want to do. Little do they know that we have reviewed the manifesto to suit the current economic hardship being experienced in the country.”
“Bawumia is not original. He has nothing to offer. All he does is to copy and paste from the NDC’s manifesto and portray as though it is coming from him,” Asiedu Nketia stated.
Touching on when the party will roll out it’s manifesto, the NDC National Chairman told the host, Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, that the party is putting final touches to it.
Referring to recent polls conducted by some research groups which puts the opposition party as frontrunners in the December elections, Mr Asiedu Nketiah pointed out that what needs to be done by the party is not to count their chickens before they hatch, but to be extra vigilant.
“We are aware of the opinion polls that predict a win for our flagbearer President John Dramani Mahama after some eligible voters were interviewed. We know the victory awaits us and it is a good news for us but we ought to be extra vigilant to do what we are supposed to do before we can start jubilating.” he stated
