A former Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has defended former President John Dramani Mahama’s description of President Akufo-Addo and his government as “super incompetent.”
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu believes that Mahama was charitable with his words, saying he [Kwakye Ofosu] would have described the governing party as “hopelessly incompetent.”
“All the borrowing they have done so far, show me what they have used it for apart from financing consumption. In terms of incompetent handling of Ghana’s economy…[former] President Mahama was charitable when he said they were super incompetent. If it were me, I would have said they are hopelessly incompetent,” he said.Former President John Mahama, while addressing members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Wa over the weekend at the party’s unity walk, took on the Akufo-Addo government describing it as “super incompetent.”
He sarcastically said the Akufo-Addo government might need a miracle from the controversial pastor, Daniel Obinim, to overcome its “super incompetence.”
Mahama has come under a wave of attack from members of the governing party.
For instance, the Deputy Information Minister, Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei, who did not take kindly to the remarks, said John Mahama was Africa’s “incompetent election observer.”
But speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Monday, Kwakye Ofosu said the governing party has woefully failed Ghanaians because it has nothing to show for the over one year it has been in office.
He said although the NDC increased the country’s debt stock to GHc87 billion within an eight-year period, the NPP government has in less than two years bloated the figure by about half of what the NDC government made within eight years.
“We added 87 billion to the public debt stock, they have added 40 billion in the space of one year three to four months, so do your analysis and see who is ballooning the debt now. If you borrow huge sums of money and you are unable to show us even one thing you used the money for, you have to be hopelessly incompetent,” Ofosu Kwakye argued.
Mahama would thrash Akufo-Addo
Kwakye Ofosu further said because of the NPP’s poor performance, Mahama would thrash President Akufo-Addo should elections be held tomorrow.
“In terms of concrete measurable additions to Ghana’s development, Mahama is far ahead” he noted.
Hamid fights back
But also speaking on the same programme, Minister of Communication, Mustapha Hamid, rejected Felix Kwakye Ofosu’s claim saying the Akufo-Addo government has excelled in all its endeavours.
Mustapha Hamid, Minister for Information
He said Akufo-Addo’s one year in government far outweighs the NDC’s eight years in government.
“His [Ofosu Kwakye’s] own analysis shows that one year on we did perform more than the target given us, and therefore if we were being marked, we would receive a correct mark.”
Hamid also said the NPP’s policies are the ones that are keeping Ghana going.
“Let’s cancel out all the things the NPP government has done for Ghana from President Kufuor’s time and that of President Akufo-Addo and see what will happen to Ghana. In other words, let’s cancel out school feeding programme, LEAP, Capitation grant, national health insurance, metro mass transit, free SHS, nursing allowance, book and research allowance and let’s see what the NDC-PNDC administration did for Ghana for all the 27 years they were in power,” he added.

WHO IS SUPER INCOMPETENT? NDC, DO YOU THINK GHANAIANS HAVE FORGOTTEN TOO SOON THE FOLLOWING: Create, loot and Share through inflated Contracts; NHIS -COLLAPSE; POOR GYEEDA PERFORMANCE;. Metro Bus Branding Corruption; Missing Guinea fowls; Collapse Sch feeding Programme; SSNITT Software Corruption; So called progressive Free SHS which was nothing than empty talk; WOYOME saga; Withdrawal of Nurses and Teachers Allowances; Cocobod Corruption; Brazil Saga; and THE MIGHTY 4 YEAR DUMSOR. WE CAN'T FORGET THESE EASILY. APUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU3!IF NDC IS THINKING OF COMING TO POWER THROUGH LIES AND PROPAGANDA ......THEN THEY SHOULD THINK 10 TIMES. GHANAIANS ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM THAT CHANCE TO COME AND MESS THE ECONOMY, INSULT EVERYBODY ON THE RADIO AND LOOT OUR RESOURCES TO BUY CARS AND PUT UP BUILDINGS IN EXPENSIVE PLACES, SEND OUR FAMILIES TO LIVE IN USA, CANADA.....AND HAVE THE EFFRONTERY TO TELL US THEY CAN GOVERN........APUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU3!
When I Incompetent, say John Mahama,When I say John Mahama, say Incompetent
That is why the former President referred to some of these people as "babies with sharp teeth" You Felix do you know who an incompetence person is? Please just mind your language, your family members are suffering for help people with masters,degree,HND comes to your house and see how you treat them. Direct family members oooooo not jaaalal..you only think about yourself in the family and be prepared to bury yourself when you die.you think you have reach, this is a nice opportunity to address you. continue to neglect your family and keep speaking as if you are the competent person in the world.
Now I understand the NDCs way of governance. As the US ambassador to Ghana said, Mahama's focus was on infrastructure whilst NPP govt's method is on social interventions. Infrastructure is good but social interventions are better. In every economy where the masses have no jobs, the best way to govern is to provide social interventions like free education, free maternal care, NHIS, metro mass transport, free meals in schools or capitation grant and reduction in utility bills. Once these have been made possible and the people are enjoying it, the poverty levels will reduce and then govt can concentrate on infrastructure and beautification. You don't buy a car or posh clothes when your family are struggling to have put food on the table. That's an insaneeeee way of caring for your family. If Mahama built roads, clinics and hospitals in Accra, Accra is not Ghana, its a tiny bit of Ghana. Lets look at the quantum of borrowing by the NDC/Mahama administration in their 8 years in power plus the booming oil revenue, yet Ghana was as poor as the church mouse when he was leaving power. Inflation was very high at over 35% now down to below 18%, debt to GDP was at 73% now down to 68.9%, foreign reserves cover was for only 3months, now doubled to 6months, nurse, tearcher and agric extension graduates from 2012 were all unemployed but today, all employed. Agric was growing at negative zero, industries growing at negative but today all growing over 8 percentage points. The famous dumdum that killed many and collapsed businesses which was due to NDC govt's inability to pay debt, have all become a thing of the past because the NPP govt rose to the occasion, paid up all debts and have renegotiated most the contracts which have resulted in dumso being a thing of the past. Ghana now are selling power to neighbours. So the records are clear and the NDC can tickle themselves and laugh. Ghanaians are the best judges come 2020.
Mahama should find another name to call the NPP, because the name incompetent has been taking by him already. Even his children and as he him self said his own party NDC knows that he is incompetent. So he mahama is mr incompetent and everybody knows this in Ghana and the world, so he should please find another name for the NPP. This one has already been taking by him.. haha
NPP NDC 1. NHIS = GYEEDA 2. Metro Bus = Bus Branding 3. LEAP = Guinea fowl 4. Sch feeding = SSNITT Software 5. Free SHS = WOYOME 6. Nursing allawa = Opuni Cocobod 7. Teacher allawa =Create lut n share
Well side mr Felix
BROTHER, WITH YOUR SIZE OF MOUTH AND THAT OF KOKU, ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT GOOD THINGS WILL BE COMING OUT OF IT BUT JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOU SPILL? DOES YOUR PARTY REALLY WANT TO COME BACK TO POWER? GHANA TODAY IS NO LONGER RAWLING'S GHANA OOO, YOOO !!!.
Do Ghanaians have to put any premium on what kwakye ofosu says?. Such persons occupied prez mahama's administration and is it surprising that the ndc administration woefully failed? The ndc must restrategize and bring in positive thinkers and not propagandists.
