The political climate in Ghana has been heating up as the ruling New Patriotic Party
(NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are beginning to throw jabs at each other ahead of the 2024 general elections.
A former Deputy Information Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu and Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia are arguing over the issue of job creation.
During a recent address to party supporters, Bawumia claimed that the current government had created 2.1 million jobs.
He further criticized the erstwhile Mahama
administration for creating unemployment under its regime.
“During the NDC administration, there were no jobs, they created unemployment instead of employment but these days there are jobs everywhere. I have been looking at the data lately and we have created 2.1 million jobs,” the Vice President said.
In reaction, Felix Kwakye Ofosu accused Dr. Bawumia of spreading “outrageous and ridiculous lies.”
In a tweet on Saturday, April 8, the spokesperson for Mr. Mahama’s campaign jabbed the Veep for what he described as a “joke after collapsing the country’s economy.”
“After his cowardly retreat into a rat hole following the destruction of our economy, Bawumia has emerged to tell outrageous and ridiculous lies to the effect that his hopeless goverment has created 2.1 million jobs. What a joke!” he tweeted.
