Member
of Parliament for Bibiani-Ahwianso-Bekwai constituency, Kingsley
Aboagye-Gyedu, has called on President John Mahama to cede his office to
his Vice, Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur if he is overwhelmed by the
responsibilities given him by the Ghanaian citizenry.
Responding
to the President's call on his critics not to engage in radio talk to
"vent their frustration", the Parliamentarian advised the President to
be tolerant of opposing views regarding his administration. Addressing a
congregation at the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra on Sunday, the
President implored his critics to help him fix the economy and stop
ranting on radio.
He was of the view that “the quest to build a
desirous, prosperous and better Ghana is the responsibility" of all
Ghanaians including his critics. But speaking on Oman FM, Mr.
Aboagye-Gyedu expressed his displeasure with President Mahama's comments
and so admonished him to note that "he’s no longer in opposition. If
you are an opposition leader, then it’s your duty to address the
government and that’s what we’re doing. But if that’s what stings him,
then I think the seat is too hot for him. He cannot sit on it. He should
get up and let’s search for a different person. I think his Vice might
be much resourceful.”
“If you’re a President and we don’t
criticize you…how would you identify those who are embezzling funds?
Those who are committing crimes and those in government who seek the
downfall of the government?” he further questioned. |
