General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu says he has reasons to believe that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) does not wish to see an end to the fight against the deadly COVID-19 in the country.
Cataloguing a litany of actions by the NDC to buttress his claims, John Boadu recalled that at the early stages of the global pandemic in China when Ghanaian students in Wuhan Province were agitating to be evacuated, the opposition party consistently impressed on government to do as the student's desired.
A suggestion, he believes if government had implemented could have had devastating consequences for the citizenry and the country's health system.
In an interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, the NPP Chief Scribe then alluded to the opposition party's pronouncements following the announcement of a $100m fund to fight the pandemic, the directive to observe social distance and government's implementation of a partial lockdown in certain areas in Accra, Kasoa and Kumasi.
“ . . when the President realised the virus will create a problem and therefore directed the Finance Minister to start the process of buying more PPE for the frontline health workers to prepare for the virus attack, the NDC came out to say that virus is not yet in the country and so why set up a fund to do that and concluded that it is a means to squander money.
“When the President on the 15th of March, 2020 gave a directive for Ghanaians to practice social distancing, the NDC through their General Secretary said that the reason why Akufo-Addo is doing that is to rig the 2020 election," he said.
Describing it as “wickedness”, the NPP Chief Scribe said immediately after the lockdown was lifted, the opposition NDC drafted a memo, claiming it came from him [John Boadu], instructing the NPP Regional Chairpersons to conduct Primaries.
“Have you seen their wickedness? They immediately sat down to draft a memo, claiming it came from me that I have instructed the regional chairpersons to conduct primaries. This is the kind of politicians we have in this country,” he slammed.
He justified his allegation with the point that the memo purporting to have come from him was circulated on the various social media platforms by the NDC's social media commentators.
“Common sense, they don’t have it. It is the same NDC social commentators circulating the fake statement purported to have come from me,” he chided.

It corona virus has taken over missing excavators, what about the airbus scandal and Gov official 1 and the bribery allegations recently made by a banker in the us that the NDC government and some appointees took bribe in their bid to be re-elected. He who lives in a glass house should not throw staones
And by lifting the restrictions, you are fighting it? Such cheap populism. Ako* gyimi* wei has become somebody because of politics. Corona will go and December will come. You will be booted out for ever
We are better off to exclude the NDC in its present form from any serious national business. A group of people who will agree with you on issues and at the eleventh hour make a U-turn and withdraw from the issues, and then tell you "we tricked you". Only children play such games and nation building is no child's play. If they "have games in their eyes", then the best place for them is the playground not at the business table.
npp haters critizism to the extent that they tag any other opinion that differs from theirs an NDC person....so intolerant eh...l have not seen this before...they will come out and defend everything even if you catch them stealing , they will come out to defend it...l have not seen a bunch of liers like this before in my life

THUMPS UP UNCLE JB.NDC IS THE WEST ENEMY TO GHANAIANS THAN CORONAVIRUS.
don't trust those evil incarnates their wish is to see a worse corona virus situation in Ghana so they do their evil propaganda with it. ndc is not a party to be trusted they are full of evil
Stop the useleees counter accusation, your propaganda is not going to work. It is eye catching how ghanaians were fed during lockdown. You are lucky because corona virus has taken over missing excavators and top officials deeply involved. If it's good for chinese it is equally good for ghanains. The only party that places election over public health due to corruption. I missed the days of kwabena agyapong - a very matured secretary. Watching this guy on myjoy station I tend to vomit with his infantile and idioootic justification on feeding
