NPP Doing The Same Thing They Did To Nkrumah To John Mahama - Spio
The Trade and Industry Minister has taken a swipe
at the biggest opposition party, the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) by describing their actions and
utterances as akin to that of their forebears, the
United Party (UP).

According to Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah, the NPP is
attacking President Mahama's unparalleled
achievements as far as infrastructural development
is concerned because that is the same thing they
did to the Nation's first President, Dr Kwame
Nkrumah.

". . we know their traits and they are doing all
they can to destroy President Mahama and his
achievements because it is these same people who
in 1966, together with the American CIA overthrew
Kwame Nkrumah's government and destroyed over 300
industries he set up.

"Their sole aim was to tell the people of Ghana
that Nkrumah had done nothing. And I tell you
honestly that the NPP has the attributes of the UP
tradition. They have only metamorphosed in name
and not character," he told Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie
on OKAY FM.

Spio Garbrah further traced the various
transformations in name of the political tradition
till the present one, NPP, and called on all
Ghanaians to disregard all the negative and
baseless assertions being made against the person
and administration of President Mahama.

"They began by calling themselves the United Party
(UP), then Progress Party (PP), later the Popular
Front Party (PFP) and now the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) so they have always changed in name but
their character and members remain," he claimed.

Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah made this statement on the
back of a promise by the Presidential Candidate of
the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo to build one
factory in each district and also one dam in a
village across the length and breadth of Ghana,
should he be voted into power as President.

". . we would have been far ahead by this time, we
assembled many things including radio sets,
refrigerators, we had the Nsawan Cannery where we
canned fruits and vegetables. We had a glass
factory and a sugar factory . . . all these were
run down by the UP tradition, now NPP, so we must
be wary when we hear them talk about 'one
district, one factory' because it is deceitful."

To him, the only hope to this country at this
moment is President John Dramani Mahama because he
is leading the way to revamp all the factories
that were destroyed.

" . . he is the one who has been able to put life
in the Komenda and Asutwari Sugar Factories after
the forefathers of the NPP ruined them over forty
years ago," he said.
