A Plus has caused a stir in the Ghanaian political arena with a statement reacting to an article with the headline “Mahama descends on NDC MPs.”
In a Facebook post he made on March 26, 2023, he indicated Akufo-Addo has made the NDC look blameless while noting that corruption is embedded in the DNA of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“Criminals even in opposition!! It is Akufo-Addo and his mafia gang that have made NDC attractive. That party has corruption embedded in its DNA,” he said.
He goes on to express his sympathy for the "innocent, hardworking, and loyal foolsoldiers and communicators" who are sacrificing to bring the party to power, but warns that their efforts will yield the same "sakawa governance" that the country is currently experiencing under President Akufo Addo and his "mafia gang".
“I feel sorry for the innocent, hardworking, and loyal foolsoldiers and communicators. All sacrifices you are making to bring the party to power will yield the same Akufo-Addo sakawa governance we are experiencing today,” he added.
A Plus further accused the NDC of being worse than the NPP (New Patriotic Party), the party currently in power, and suggests that the NPP is confident they will win the upcoming election because they know the NDC will take money.
“Your people are worse than those you criticize. Why do you think NPP is confident that they will break the 8? They know your people will take money!!” he shared.
