The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has revealed he chose the AFCON match between Nigeria and South Africa over the campaign speech delivered by the flagbearer of the governing NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Nigeria played against South Africa in the semifinal clash of the ongoing African Cup of Nations tournament.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Okay FM, Mr Asiedu Nketiah stated, amongst other things, that he listened to recorded portions of the campaign speech by the NPP presidential candidate.
“I recorded it because Nigeria’s match was more important to me than what Bawumia had to say…The match was more entertaining than what Bawumia had to say, you know it is hard to listen to lies.
“You get infuriated listening to lies, so I recorded it, and I’ve listened to some portions,” he stated.
The New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr Bawumia, delivered a lecture on Wednesday dubbed “Ghana’s Next Chapter,” where he outlined his governance plans ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
However, the NDC National Chairman noted that his party will go all out to expose the rot in the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration, indicating that efforts to absolve Dr. Bawumia of the economic mess will not be countenanced.
“This is just a precursor; we are coming to issue a major response to his statement and expose him properly. Because if you allow falsehood to lead the nation without acting against it you are equally guilty of what is happening.

“Recently they forced through to approve the budget which we denounced, where were the people in the NPP now supporting Bawumia? Were they not in parliament? What did they do? He cannot come and deceive us at all,” he quizzed.
