A
member of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Charles Owusu has
blamed Ex-Presidents Jerry John Rawlings and John Agyekum Kufour for the
alleged misdemeanor of the incumbent Head of State.
Charles
Owusu bemoaned the loud silence of the two Statesmen over President John
Dramani Mahama's comments regarding the people of Ashanti Region.
A
couple of days ago, President John Mahama was reported to have insulted
Ashantis, claiming that no matter what his government does for them;
they will always be ungrateful towards him.
He was also alleged
to have said that Ashantis will continue to act as ingrates even if the
government constructs gold-plated roads for them.
Following the
President's comments, several critics have lambasted his administration
and called on him to render an apology to the people of the Region.
But
government has refuted claims that the President made any such
disparaging remarks and strongly hold the position that the tape was
doctored.
Addressing the issue on Oman FM, Charles Owusu chided former Presidents Rawlings and Kufour for refusing to voice their opinions on the matter.
He
noted that these Statesmen have had their taste of governance and per
their experience should boldly come out to counsel President Mahama to
choose his words carefully.
“We should blame President Rawlings
and President Kufour…They are behind him. He has their backing, so he
won’t listen to anybody and that’s why the man talks with impunity,” he
added.
