Deputy
Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku,
believes the actions and in-actions of the Mayor of Accra, Alfred Oko
Vanderpuije, have the potency of wrecking the economy.
According to him, doom awaits the nation should the administration of the capital be left in the hands of the Accra Mayor.
Speaking
on Radio Gold on Monday regarding the public declaration by Mr. Oko
Vanderpuije that the Accra Hockey pitch has been renamed after the late
President Mills, Sammy Awuku recalling some past events undertaken by
Mr. Vanderpuije expressed no surprise about his conduct.
He
alluded to a similar thing that happened in the country when the Ohene
Djan Sports Stadium was reverted to Accra Sports Stadium by the Mayor
over reasons that Ohene Djan was not a member of the Ga State and
therefore it would not be appropriate to name the stadium after him.
Sammy
Awuku was therefore of a strong view that Mr. Vanderpuije is being
pampered by the nation after even noticing the mistakes he’s committed
in his capacity as the Accra Metropolitan Assembly Chief Executive.
“It’s
very selective and hypocritical on the part of the Chief of Staff and
the President because the same thing the man did with the hockey saga,
that was the same strategy he used for the Ohene Djan Stadium or Accra
Sports Stadium.
“I think that this man, this Oko Vanderpuiye man,
is dividing us with this tribal thing left, right, center; if we don’t
take care, our country will break down before our very eyes.” |
