The
National Youth Organizer of the People's National Convention, Abu
Ramadan has called on the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to play
its role effectively in Ghana's politics or else turn the party into a
religious centre.
Abu Ramadan expressed disappointment in the NPP for its failure to serve as a check on the incumbent government.
Contributing to a panel discussion programme on Oman FM,
he reminded the NPP to note that it is a party in opposition and if its
members cannot play their role well, then "they should rather turn
their party into a church or else, they will be worse off than the PNC.”
According
to him, the NPP is expected to sit on the opposition bench and ensure
that government does not take decisions to the disadvantage of
Ghanaians.
He explained that the NPP is a party full of "rich"
gurus who until they feel the pinch of hardship Ghanaians are facing,
will gracefully slumped into their chairs and unably oppose government
when it makes the wrong decisions.
“Opposition in this country
currently is failing the ordinary Ghanaian…New Patriotic Party, the
largest opposition party, appears to be an aristocratic party; so,
they’re not really concerned with certain economic issues. They are rich
people in the party and so, if they are not hungry; they don’t see the
need to take aggressive steps,” to kick against the challenges
confronting the economy.
“NPP as a party has failed. They’re in
opposition but they don’t look worried. The party is good at fighting
themselves internally than with the government in power," he stated
emphatically.
He however advised the NPP to "join forces with
opposition parties to make sure that we remove this party" or else "the
NPP can as well forget its political fortunes."
