The Minority Whip in Parliament, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has said President Akufo-Addo has lost control as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces.
He says some comments coming from certain elements within the government suggests the President is no more in control of the security of the State.
This comes after the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Bryan Abbey Acheampong, had indicated that the NPP is not going to lose the upcoming elections since it is an election winning machine.
Whilst addressing a charged crowd at a campaign rally of the NPP at Nsawam in the Eastern Region, Mr. Acheampong said the NDC was never going to win the elections.
The politician cum businessman noted that the NPP is an election winning machine and winning the upcoming polls is a must.
“I have said that whether the NDC likes it not, they will never win the 2024 elections. They would not win. You can check their records. They would not win. The NPP would win the elections. The NPP exists to win elections,” he told the charged crowd.
The Minister who was recently under fire for his intention to purchase some four hotels belonging to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) shared that the NPP was going to employ the services of pastors, imams and traditionalists in its fold to secure victory in the upcoming polls.
“So, we would do whatever it takes to win the elections. We are a political party that has pastors, imams, and traditionalists so whatever means we would take to win the elections, we would do so. ‘Burn the sea if you don’t understand, we’ll win and continue with our good works,” he noted.
Reacting to him at a campaign visit of the NDC flag bearer to Adaklu Thursday, August 15, 2024, Kwame Agbodza, the Member of Parliament for the constituency, indicated that it is because President Akufo-Addo is no more in control of affairs that is giving persons like the Agric Minister to make certain pronouncements.
“You have been a Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces before and you brought honour and respect to the office of the Commander-in-Chief. The current Commander-in-Chief appears to lose control to the extent that miscreants in his government are threatening the peace and security of this government.
“I’m talking about my colleague in Parliament, Bryan Acheampong, threatening that the sea will burn because they are going to try to rig the election. I have a simple message for you my colleague, as you have been defeated in the hostile overtake of the hotels belonging to SSNIT, you will surely fail.
“If you attempt to use force to do anything, this is Adaklu, this is Adaklu, we can tell you, you dare not try anything on the life of any Ghanaian. You cannot threaten Ghanaians, your party will lose and you will be the first to run away. This is what we have said in Adaklu, the God we serve can tell you that you dare not,” he forewarned.
