The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said that Former President John Dramani Mahama has been exposed as he admits to a global economic meltdown that has swept across many parts of the world including Africa.
In a recent trip to Washington DC, Mr Mahama in an exclusive interview with Hayde Adams on his popular Straight Talk Africa on VOA News, admitted that indeed the global economy is in a recession.
“I think that it’s a period of adversity for the whole world because it’s triggering a kind of global recession” he said.
Prior to this interview, Mr Mahama has been on record to have accused the Akufo-Addo administration of mismanaging the economy, hence its challenges.
He severally rejected arguments by government’s functionaries to the effect that the twin catastrophic events of COVID-19 and the Russian/Ukrainian crisis cannot be blamed for the economic challenges facing Ghanaians.
Following his interview Straight Talk Africa , Mr Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah, a Deputy National Communications Officer of the governing NPP emphasized that “John Mahama, has been exposed big time. He blames President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia for the challenges we are going through but goes out there to speak the truth.”
“Clearly, as we have always emphasized and even the IMF Boss recently reiterated, our challenges are not home brewed but largely due to COVID-19 and the Russia/Ukraine war, a fact John Mahama has been rejecting all this while. His interview with the VOA is a testament to the fact that indeed the challenges we are facing are attributable to the deadly coronavirus pandemic and the never-ending Russian/Ukrainian conflict” Mr. Owusu-Bempah said in a in response to the interview in a write up.
