Ashanti Regional Chairman of NPP, Mr Bernard Antwi Boasiako has indicated that the COVID 19 has brought about a paradigm shift in the running of the affairs of state different from the time John Mahama was the President.
‘’ The dynamics of leadership due to the COVID-19 pandemic has changed which makes the current situation unique and with the changed new changed situation the former President cannot fit the current government space ‘’ He noted.
Chairman Wontumi who was taking part in a political discussion programme on Wontumi TV and Radio on Monday said that, Nana Addo tenure which has coincided with the COVID 19 era has earned him an international recognition because of the way he has successfully managed the pandemic.
“His vision which has become his armour sends a strong signal that in modern day governance Nana Addo has earned a reputation as a unique leader and with his achievements over the last three years, there can’t be any basis to make a comparison s with John Mahama ‘’.
According to Chairman Wontumi the former President ‘s own admission that four years is not a period long enough to evaluate a leader’s performance makes any such thought baseless.
‘’Taking into consideration his own admission, in principle the former President did not even have to offer himself to contest Nana Addo in the December elections.”
Chairman Wontumi stressed that what John Mahama is currently doing is inconsistent with his own declaration that the Ghanaian leader needs more than four years to make any meaningful impact on on the lives of his people. . This smacks of hypocrisy.”He observed.
According to Chairman Wontumi,” if Nana Addo’s achievements in the past four years are taken into consideration , ironically, he has achieved more than the whole of the eight years administration by the NDC before Nana Addo took over.
He noted that, Nana Addo’s appointment as the Chairman of ECOWAS gives a further boost to his international rating.
‘’Automatic approval of his high international rating has given a fresh rating to towering political stature. He is now the Chairman of ECOWAS, a position which makes him the current leader of the whole of West Africa all because of his towering political stature .’’
The astute politician held the view that despite the harsh conditions the global pandemic has imposed on the economy on nations Nana Addo Dankwa has been able to chalk numerous successes including the massive infrastructural projects spread across all the 16 regions in the country.
This makes him truly a visionary leader who plans well ahead in anticipation that a disaster can strike the next day.
“ When John Mahama was in power , he gave as much as US$200 million contract to his brother Ibrahim Mahama to dredge the Odawna river in Accra using government’s earth moving equipment freely without paying anything to the state. This how the former dissipated stated funds.
Chairman Wontumi entreated those who are yet to avail themselves of virtually appraising themselves of governments achievements in all sectors of the economy to get closer to their TV sets every week day between the hours of 4 to and 6 pm.
In so doing they will have the opportunity to keep track of what obviously distances the NPP from the NDC in terms of the provision of social physical infrastructure that enhances national development.
‘’God has given victory to Nana Addo and the evidence becomes even clearer when one joins viewers across the world to do their own assessment through the medium of television and radio .”
