The Trade and Industry Minister has taken a swipe at the biggest opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by describing their actions and utterances as akin to that of their forebears, the United Party (UP).
According to Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah, the NPP is attacking President Mahama's unparalleled achievements as far as infrastructural development is concerned because that is the same thing they did to the Nation's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
". . we know their traits and they are doing all they can to destroy President Mahama and his achievements because it is these same people who in 1966, together with the American CIA overthrew Kwame Nkrumah's government and destroyed over 300 industries he set up.
"Their sole aim was to tell the people of Ghana that Nkrumah had done nothing. And I tell you honestly that the NPP has the attributes of the UP tradition. They have only metamorphosed in name and not character," he told Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie on OKAY FM.
Spio Garbrah further traced the various transformations in name of the political tradition till the present one, NPP, and called on all Ghanaians to disregard all the negative and baseless assertions being made against the person and administration of President Mahama.
"They began by calling themselves the United Party (UP), then Progress Party (PP), later the Popular Front Party (PFP) and now the New Patriotic Party (NPP) so they have always changed in name but their character and members remain," he claimed.
Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah made this statement on the back of a promise by the Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo to build one factory in each district and also one dam in a village across the length and breadth of Ghana, should he be voted into power as President.
". . we would have been far ahead by this time, we assembled many things including radio sets, refrigerators, we had the Nsawan Cannery where we canned fruits and vegetables. We had a glass factory and a sugar factory . . . all these were run down by the UP tradition, now NPP, so we must be wary when we hear them talk about 'one district, one factory' because it is deceitful."
To him, the only hope to this country at this moment is President John Dramani Mahama because he is leading the way to revamp all the factories that were destroyed.
" . . he is the one who has been able to put life in the Komenda and Asutwari Sugar Factories after the forefathers of the NPP ruined them over forty years ago," he said.

look who is talking the ***barred word*** of NDC
What infrastructural development are you talking about? THE BIG BUILDING YOU LIVE IN or your dead presidential ambition? Which ones are you talking about about, the ***barred word*** rushed, unfinished and dirty Kwame Nkrumah Circle? I don't know if there is anyone even sincere and wise enough in NDC. All you people do is lie. "We did this in the Volta region, We did that here and there," when those don't even exist, LIER. Why can't anyone of you be patriotic at all for Ghana? I know you ARE A ***barred word***, SO I DON'T COUNT ON YOU.
Everybody knows them. They talk big but do little. I cannot believe that when Nkrumah was saying independence now, they were saying independence later, just because it did not come from them. When Nkrumah was doing the motorway, it was the same attitude. Building schools, it was the same attitude. Infact when it was proposed to start medical school in Ghana to train doctors, they opposed it. When Rawlings was taking UDS to the north, they opposed it so that is their nature.
Where was Spio Garbrah during Nkrumah's era? How old was he? Did he witness or was told what he is talking about? In which book did he read that information from? I rest my case.
It is time to say something so u can get some of the campaign money to chop Where from this weasel all these while
Why doesn't Spio just keep quiet and keep some dignity?
Human beings are indeed complicated.After overthrowing the CPP offshoot of PNP government headed by President Limann, a Northerner, you have the audacity to embroil the NPP, in the overthrow of Nkrumah's government.
Nkrumah this and that is destroying ghana seriously.We are in a modern age and who cares about the gold coast.It seems our leaders are so selfish and lazy that's why they using 's name for political advantage.At this age and time our leaders can't create jobs only to renovate factory nkrumahv did.Asey we will vote Lazy leaders out
He said this in his capacity as a vice President and rightly so, it does not require any qualification to do that. So, every government does that. However, when it comes to economic management, only those why exceptional expertise are required. I do not blame NDC for overhyping the mediocre development which is basic to all governments. What really sets one government apart, from the rest, is in the area of the management of the economy. They have tacitly admitted that they have scored no point in terms of the economy. They thus have no choice, than to renege on what President Mahama said above.
