Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho says he disagrees with Pastor Mensa Otabil that ‘Ghana is hard’ under the Mahama-led administration.
According to him, Pastor Otabil’s assertion was “unfortunate” and of a political reason – even though Koku admits that Ghana has faced some challenges over the years.
“Challenges we know there are challenges, serious ones that we are trying to overcome and we (NDC) are not running away from that,” he said.
The founder and leader of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) who was recently adjudged the ‘Most Influential’ Ghanaian was quoted to have said – “There are moments in our lives when we need a word of encouragement from the word of God and as a pastor, I sense those moments because I believe that we are living in tough times in Ghana.”
“Sometimes, when you look at life in this country, you feel as if not only is life hard, but we want to make it impossible for us to live our life. I was telling my wife yesterday, I said: ‘We are not nice to ourselves. Ghana is not nice to itself, let’s treat ourselves well; just make life better for ourselves, but it looks like there is a deliberate effort to keep you down and subservient and to make you never lift up your head…” Dr Otabil lamented.
But speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed 'Ghana Montie', Koku Anyidoho questioned if Ghana has not experienced ‘hardship’ before during the NPP era.
“Sometimes you can’t understand Otabil. Is this the first time Ghana is facing hardship?” he quizzed.
“So between 2001 and 2008, Ghana wasn’t hard? We thank Otabil but the NDC will continue to transform lives and majority of Ghanaians will appreciate the work President Mahama is doing” he added
