Sir John blows up; Mahama is a business killer

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie has launched a blistering attack at the ruling NDC describing the party as an organisation made up of characters who have the tendency of killing private businesses.

The NPP General Secretary noted on Okay FM in Accra that since the NDC is built on the foundation of “greed and selfishness”, it lacked the requisite skills to nurture and expand businesses other people have toiled to set up.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie who is popularly known as Sir John thereby advised the Chief Executive Officer of rlg Communications, to be mindful of his relationship with President John Mahama.

“President Mahama and the NDC are business killers so Roland Agambire (rlg CEO) should be careful about his relationship with them,” Sir John cautioned.

"President Mahama contributed immensely to the collapse of the STX housing deal so rlg must be on-guard when dealing with such an individual,” he added.

In his estimation, it is the NPP that has a tradition of expanding private businesses and creating job opportunities for the citizenry to build upon.

“Clearly Ghanaians can compare thing for themselves. During the NPP era they were enough opportunities for people to enhance their businesses. So the bottom line is the NPP is better than the NDC when it comes to offering support to the private sector,” Sir John added.
