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”.

Mahama gave a whole bauxite concession to your nephew and his brother apart from him evading the payment of legitimate tax and you did not consider that a corrupt practice. Ghanaians are not fullllls to fall for your cheap propaganda.
Civil unrest again in Gh? NO NO NOOOO!!!. NO BACKWARDS MOVE. AFTER THE SO REVOLT IN GH MORE HARM IS NOTED ALL AROUND. JAW JAW IS BETTER THAN ARMS, DR NYA.TEE.
Stuuupid man. that is why he was booted out for u but you are doing worse.
That was because Mahama wasn't corrupt, you liar, it is Akufo Addo that has planted his family and freinds all around to steal for him.
This man no get shame
Nyaho Tamakloe only sees wrong when it comes from the NPP. He is wearing blinkers like a race horse. What a shame?
Party serial callers and bloggers from both NPP and NDC can do all the propaganda they want but we the discerning citizens know better. Why are you castigating Dr Tamakloe for criticizing what we all know? So it is now a crime to remark about the wrongs going on in one's country of birth? The president himself at his swearing in asked us to be citizens and not spectators(never mind the speech was plagiarized so perhaps he did not understand or mean what he was saying!). That is exactly what Dr Nyahoe is doing and it is his right as a citizen. This government has come to be associated with two thing: one scandal after another and one clearance after the other! What do you take the citizens for! That we are fuuls? That we can't see corruption when it happens? That we have no say in how our country is governed? That we should merely groan and grunt about the unprecedented hardships we are going through as citizens? What the hell is going on in this country? And to add insult to injury this bufoon of a communication director of NPP is spewing out total garbage! Well just as NDC was kicked out so will NPP as that can only be the basis for his senseless comparisons. We need solutions and people can make comparisons on who was the worst offender! Commonwealth Visa scandal-all culprits cleared, Galamsay bribery-all cleared, Kelni DVG-no one found culpable, PDS-no culprit apprehended! What the hell is going on!
bcas JM use it and is been seen, U are stealing with nothing to show.
'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.' What does NYaho want Nana to do. Kill those who the allegations are against without investigations? Then his nephews (Mahamas) would have been DEAD now!
Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe, why were you discharged from the Ghana Armed Forces. Tell us and we know more about you
