NPP’s reaction to Catholic Bishops typical ‘arrogance’ of power -Mahama
Ex-President John Dramani Mahama has reffered to governing party’s reaction to the new remarks by the Catholic Bishops Conference as typical pomposity and arrogance of power from the NPP.
On Monday, November 8, the Catholic Bishops Conference at a whole gathering of the Association in Wa, condemned government over its inability to ensure the public purse is protected, adding that the governing party’s promise to safeguard the national kitty is a mirage. The Bishops likewise wailed over what they depicted as a total absence of sympathy from the government towards Ghanaians.
Responding to this, the Director of Communications of the NPP, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, contended that the reactions from the Bishops needed focus and clearness; and along these lines asked them to be explicit and provides some clarity on what they intend to communicate.
In a sharp reaction, whilst tending to a durbar of party loyalists at Ashaiman, as a feature of his two days visit through the Greater Accra Region, John Mahama blamed the NPP for being unwelcoming to reactions.
“In case they are saying Ghana is difficult, do the things that will make things more reasonable for individuals of Ghana. However, that is the thing that we call the arrogance of power. They said when the divine beings need to obliterate you, they first make you distraught. Since this is frenzy. The Catholic Bishops have spoken; what is your business holding a question and answer session against them? Acknowledge analysis in with a sense of sincere resolve”, the Ex-Ghanaian Leader said.
“NPP’s reaction to the Catholic Bishops is a demonstration of pomposity and frenzy”, Mahama noted.
Describing the reactions against him during his regime, H.E Mahama said there were many public interviews by the Catholic Bishops Conference and other concerned gatherings that censured his system and arrangements as President.
As per him, he invited such criticism in with the best of intentions, subsequently fail to understand the reason why the NPP would egotistically respond to the Catholic Bishops Conference, which is just requesting responsibility.
“During my administration, I didn’t do a public interview to react to them. Whatever they said I took in sincerely and I went to remedial lengths”, the 2020 NDC flagbearer described.
Having communicated his nausea at the stance of the NPP, he asked the government to resolve the appropriate issues raised by the Catholic Bishops Conference and Ghanaians as opposed to answering to reactions.
The EX-President is right now on a two-day visit through the Greater Accra Region to interface with party leaders and allies of the NDC in the Region. The visit on Tuesday, took him to Dodowa, Tema, and Ashaiman.
The ongoing Thank You Tour by John Mahama is expected to continue on Wednesday, with an end commitment at the Kempinski Hotel, where he will be relied upon to widely speak about recent concerns in Ghana.
Wednesday tour wraps up his visit across Ghana to express gratitude to the Ghaianan populace for giving him over six million votes and 137 seats in the crucial 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.
