Former President Mahama must eat humble pie - Nana Boakye

Mr Dennis Amfo-Sefah, the Tema West Constituency Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on former President John Dramani Mahama to eat a humble pie by saluting Ghana’s National Security for their prowess.

“We were all in this country when the former President gathered members of the Diplomatic Corps in Ghana and painted our National Security to them as being made up of unintelligent party rascals.

“Today, that same National Security that he bastardized is what has brought Ghana positive international headlines for quickly rescuing kidnapped Canadian girls in just a week.

Mr Amfo-Sefah, who is popularly called ‘Nana Boakye’ in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said the former President had come under the obligation to throw salute because the National Security proved him wrong.

“Mr Mahama has no choice but to eat the humble pie and reverse his unfortunate statements against these gallant men and women of our country,” Nana Boakye said.

According to him, if the former President, who is also the 2020 Flagbearer for the NDC did not salute National Security over the success, then it means the concerns that he raised about them with the diplomatic community were politically motivated.

Ghana’s National Security busted a kidnapping ring in Kumasi, responsible for the abduction of two Canadian women in Ghana for volunteer work.

Lauren Tilley and Bailey Chitty, stepped out of their Silver Spring apartment in Ahodwo last week when they were roughly shoved into a car and driven away by kidnappers.

The incident led to the Canadian Embassy in Ghana, updating travel advice to its citizens to be wary of criminality in Ghana.

However, a week later, the National Security apparatus rescued the victims and busted the kidnapping ring in Kumasi.

The feat is said to be a record in matters of kidnappings across the world.

According to Nana Boakye, National Security’s sterling performance rubbished claims that former President Mahama made earlier in the year that the apparatus was turned into a recruiting hub for NPP vigilantes.

The former President, following the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence, allegedly invited the Diplomatic Corps in Ghana to his office and showed them video footages of the National Security operatives saying they were goons of the NPP.

“Today, those same so-called NPP goons that we were made to believe that could not think for themselves are the ones who have brought us all glory; let Mr Mahama eat humble pie and acknowledge their professionalism now,” Nana Boakye said.
