Director of Communications for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Yaw Buaben Asamoah, has slammed Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe for his "if he (Akufo-Addo) doesn't take care, there'll be civil unrest" comment, saying the latter's remark is clearly borne out of bitterness.
According to him, since Nyaho-Tamakloe's defeat in his bid to be the Greater Accra Regional Chairman, he (Nyaho) has vowed to work against and speak ill of the current administration; a party he claims to be one of its founding members.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe’s outburst comes on the back of the recent documentary by investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, which exposed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng Adjei for alleged conflict of interest and corruption.
Civil Unrest, If.
The NPP stalwart viciously lambasted President Akufo-Addo over the spate of corruption allegations in his government.
Describing the President's posture towards allegations of corruption leveled against his appointees as worrying, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said President Akufo-Ado has the worst record in the history of Ghana.
The former Chairman of the Ghana Football Association warned that if care is not taken, citizens will rise up and revolt against the Akufo-Addo led administration.
"The level of corruption under Akufo Addo's government is the worst ever in the history of Ghana and if he doesn't take care, there'll be civil unrest under his leadership just like the revolution that happened in the North of Africa," he said..
On What Basis?
But in a sharp riposte, the NPP Communications Director who is also the MP for Adentan Constituency, speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, wondered the basis for Dr Nyho-Tamakloe's comments which he described as unfortunate.
“I believe that he is speaking out of envy and we don’t do politics out of envy. That is never done.
“On what basis is he talking about civil unrest when the Akufo-Addo government is cleaning the banking sector of corruption which the NDC left behind and couldn't have the temerity to tackle? And on what basis is he calling for civil war when the bauxite which the family of Mahama nearly took over has been stopped by the Supreme Court and given back to the state?”
“What is wrong with Nana Addo setting up the office of the Special Prosecutor to deal with the corruption cases involving government officials and the person in charge is not someone whom Nana Addo can manipulate? Is that the reason why he is calling for civil war in the country?”
“....If it is on the basis of the PPA issue which is why he is calling for civil unrest, why didn’t he advise Mahama to sack Dzifa Attivor but asked her to resign following the bus branding scandal? ....i guess Nyaho-Tamakloe did not see anything wrong with it...
“Why is he not calling for civil unrest against those who facilitated in the payment of illegal judgment debt paid to Woyome?” he inquired.
Family Ties
To the NPP Director of Communications, “Dr. Nyaho supported those corrupt practices under Mahama because the former President is his nephew and he knows what he stands to and is benefiting from him, thus his call for civil unrest under President Akufo-Addo”.

THE FIGHT IS STILL THE LORDS Akuffo Addo by HIS GRACE come 2020 will be retained. The NDC negatively tagged Nana Addo but the results was the humiliating defeat they suffered and it seem they haven't learnt.
Records now proof Mahama and NDC were not corrupt as this Nana NPP government it now clear that the most corrupt government ever in Ghana is this Nana NPP one
It appears the NPP has trained wild 'Alsatian dogs and releases them at anyone who dares criticize them. They have become the most intolerant party in Ghana- taking cue from their leader who though very short is the most vindictive president Ghana has ever had. This will not help the NPP in anyway. NPP, learn to be humble.
Always Mahama was corrupt, why is he still walking a free man. Criminals in government. We are tired of your politics of equalization. Mahama beba
Ghanaians will retain the NPP because of the good works they are doing. Things are not rosy in the country but there is always dark clouds before storm and clear skies. We have seen the good intentions of Nana Addo and he will be rewarded. He is a man with balls to tackle sensitive issues irrespective of the consequences. This is what we expect from our leaders.
HERE THEY GO AGAIN NPP. THEY WILL HATE THE TRUTH FOREVER AND WILL FIND IT CONVENIENT ATTACKING ANYONE WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH LIKE DR NYAHO NYAHO TAMAKLOE. BEFORE NPP WILL WAKE UP FROM BED WITH PRIDE THEN THEY ARE IN OPPOSITION AGAIN. WHAT LANDED THEM IN OPPOSITION IS HERE AGAIN. THEY WILL USE PEOPLE LIKE BAWUMIA TO ATTACK BUT JUST WAIT 2020 FAST APPROACHING.
NDC WILL REMAIN IN OPPOSITION LIKE SATAN DID REMAIN ON EARTH.
BUT WHY IS THIS DUDE SO BITTER? A WHOLE DOCTOR OF MEDICINE BEHAVING LIKE A JHS STUDENT? AABA!
Characters like Dr.Nyaho will caused NDC once again and that will be a history ever in Ghana. There was unrest when John Draimni Mahama took FORD expedition vehicle as a bribe from a contractor
NPP WILL BE REMOVED LIKE THE OPENING OF COKE BOTTLE? TOOOFFFEEEE
