In a shocking turn of events, Dr. Bawumia’s call for debate has been likened to a “complete political suicide” by Boakye Agyarko, a prominent figure in Ghanaian politics. This scathing critique comes on the heels of the NPP’s disastrous economic record, which has left Ghanaians reeling under the weight of skyrocketing exchange rates and crippling economic instability.
According to Boakye Agyarko, Dr. Bawumia’s decision to call for a debate was a gross disrespect to the business community, an insult to market women, and a reckless disregard for the suffering Ghanaians. The NPP’s economic policies have been nothing short of catastrophic, with the exchange rate plummeting from 4GHS-1$ to 16GHS-1$ within a mere 8 years. This staggering decline has left many Ghanaians struggling to make ends meet, with the cost of living soaring to unprecedented heights.
But what was the debate for, exactly? Boakye Agyarko reveals that when he reached out to advise Dr. Bawumia to back off on the debate crusade, Miracle Aboagye asked him if he was done telling Ghanaians his side of the story on the Ameri deal. It was at that moment that Boakye Agyarko realized there was doom awaiting the NPP, and it was just a matter of time.
The Ameri deal, a contentious issue that has been at the center of Ghana’s economic woes, has been a major point of contention for the NPP. Boakye Agyarko’s comments suggest that the party’s attempts to defend their economic record have been nothing short of desperate, with Dr. Bawumia’s call for debate being a last-ditch effort to salvage what’s left of the party’s reputation.
As the dust settles on this latest development, one thing is clear: the NPP’s days are numbered. With their economic record in tatters and their political credibility in free fall, it’s only a matter of time before the party faces the music. Boakye Agyarko’s words serve as a stark warning to the NPP: it’s time to face the consequences of your actions, and it’s time to start telling the truth about your economic mismanagement.
Dr. Bawumia’s call for debate has been exposed for what it is: a desperate attempt to cling to power in the face of overwhelming evidence of economic mismanagement. The NPP’s downfall is a cautionary tale of what happens when politics is prioritized over people, and it’s a stark reminder that the Ghanaian people will not be fooled by empty rhetoric and political grandstanding. The writing is on the wall, and it’s only a matter of time before the NPP faces the consequences of their actions. Alexander Afriyie
