Dr. Joseph Yamin, National Organizer of the opposition NDC, has slammed President Akufo-Addo for claiming he will hand over to an NPP government.
“President Akufo-Addo cannot determine who becomes the President of Ghana. If he thinks he’s a president and will determine who will be the president, tell him I say he’s lying,” he stated.
President Akufo-Addo has stated that when his term expires in January 2025, he would pass over to a successor from his party, the New Patriotic Party.
The President delivered these remarks during the NPP’s penultimate rally before the Kumawu By-Election, and he repeated them when the NPP chose Dr Bawumia as its flagbearer.
Dr. Yamin warned President Akufo-Addo that his incumbency would not work in the 2024 election.
“When the Ghanaian people talk, no matter what you will do, you will abide by it. If Rawlings, Kufuor, Mills, and John Mahama all couldn’t determine who will be the next president, what makes Akufo-Addo think he will determine it”, he quizzed.
In an interview with Kojo Marfo on Abusua Nkommo at Abusua965FM, Dr. Yamin noted that “if anybody within the government and the NPP thinks that the NDC will go into the 2024 election with the strategy of 2020, that person is lying to himself.”
He further pointed out that “everyone has one vote, and nobody should think that he’ll play any ways and means tactics. If they’re planning to steal, we will steal as well”.
Dr. Yamin went on to say that the 2024 election would be about voting, counting, and declaring, and that the NDC is completely prepared.
