Hon. Michael Teye Nyaunu, Member of Parliament for Lower Manya constituency in the Eastern Region has rated the performance late President John Evans Atta Mills 35% over 100, saying the late President failed to deal with corruption in his administration.
He said the NDC has failed to live up to expectation and is not worthy of a second term come December when the country goes to the polls.
He accused the party of not achieving anything meaningful having been in office for over three years.
Speaking to Okay FM’s morning show host, Kwame Nkrumah, on Friday, Mr. Teye Nyaunu said the late president failed to transform the lives of Ghanaians when he was alive...“ the NDC has a lot of promises they have to fulfill” because the party has not redeemed 90% of their campaign promises. “The NDC has simply failed the people and must act now.”
He chastised government for naming the Accra High Street after the deceased president saying, “Why was the Accra High Street named after him,” he asked. “The Accra High Street has been there all this while. Now they have named it after him, have you constructed a flyover by adding the name? If you deem it fit to name it after him, go and add value to the road.”
Mr. Teye Nyaunu admitted that the President, John Dramani Mahama, has a great deal of work to do if he really wants to retain power. He said there was little time.
“He has to work hard to win the confidence of the voters. People will not vote for President Mahama because they like him, it’s a matter of the policies that the NDC government has and will implement”, he said.
The NDC firebrand few months ago lost in his bid to seek re-election on the ticket of the party, as it was widely believed some power brokers within the presidency sponsored a candidate against him.
He has therefore resolved to contest as an independent candidate in the December general elections.
