Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe has stated that members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) do not have any genuine motives to help assist in fighting the novel Coronavirus in the country.

To him, it is Pharisaic on the part of the NDC to deprecate government's measures put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19 when they were unable to even fight the outbreak of cholera during their tenure.

“Stop comparing Ebola to COVID-19 for they are two separate diseases, you were the same people who could not control cholera outbreak during your administration. Under what circumstance can you help us fight COVID-19?” he quizzed.

Abronye DC, as he is affectionately called, pontificated on UTV’s late news that government cannot work with the opposition party's recently announced reponse team, because the opposition party masterminded the possible widespread outbreak of the disease in Ghana.

“ . . As to whether we will work with NDC’s COVID-19 technical team, when you go to Nigeria their problem is Boko Haram, likewise Iran suffering from bombing each and every other day. Members of the NDC were those finding means to bring the disease into the country, especially when they called on government to evacuate Ghanaian students from China. How will government involve such people in curbing the outbreak?” he rhetorically asked.
