Dr. Otchere-Ankrah To NPP: Listen To Your ‘Enemy’ Sometimes

Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, a Governance Lecturer at the Central University, has advised President Nana Akufo-Addo and his government to give a listening ear to opposing views from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The NDC and their 2020 Presidential candidate, former President John Mahama, have been censuring the leadership of President Nana Akufo-Addo.

President Mahama, embarking on a recent Thank You tour, told Ghanaians about how bad the President is doing and therefore called for a change of government, come 2024.

NDC National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi also believes Ghanaians are already tired of the Akufo-Addo administration and can’t wait to vote the government out of power.

“The alarming case of corruption under this government is such that Ghanaians cannot wait to exact act accountability by voting out the NPP after their eight year tenure in 2024.

“Anything short of that will spell doom for the public purse which will be subjected to further abuse should their mandates be renewed beyond 2024,” Sammy Gyamfi said during a press conference on Monday.

In a rebuttal, the General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party, John Boadu urged Ghanaians not to pay attention to the ”distraction” by the opposition party saying “we are really not worried about his distraction because our president is focused on delivering his mandate”.

“He (President Mahama) has no right to deceive the people of this country by twisting facts,” John Boadu stressed.

But to Dr. Otchere-Ankrah, the NPP should not always build defence against the NDC.

He advised the President and the NPP to sometimes listen to the NDC stressing the opposition will help the government to stay on the alert.

“Sometimes, it’s good to listen to your enemy supposedly or your opponent. It will help you to stay on the alert. It doesn’t look good for me. When I go to my hometown, sometimes I have to dodge before I can return from there. There is hardship and we have to fight it head on . . .the sword must cut both sides and we all mustmake sure that we build a nation that we so desire,” he said during Peace FM’s ”Kokrokoo” programme.
