I’ll Retire Victor Smith - Gifty Twum Ampofo

Gifty Twum Ampofo, a Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region has indicated that, she will retire Mr Victor Smith from active politics in the upcoming polls since he had nothing to offer the constituents but was only desperate for the seat.

According to her, Anthony Gyimah’s candidature looked competitive to her than Victor Smith who the National Democratic Congress had forcibly imposed on the electorates in the constituency.

Madam Twum Ampofo, who made these known when speaking to DAILY GUIDE at a fun fair games organised for her constituents at Akyem – Tafo stressed that, Dr. Anthony Gyimah who withdrew from the contest under bizarre circumstances looked a tougher opponent than Victor Smith.

“As for Victor, I’ll give him compulsory retirement, because he’s no match for me. Gyimah looked unpredictable because he had stayed abroad for so many years and it will be difficult to predict what he was bringing on-board.”

According to her, the constituency had seen it all with Mr Victor Smith, who had been a Regional Minister for the incumbent government yet was unable to attract any meaningful development for the constituency.

Madam Gifty Twum – Ampofo who was optimistic of maintaining the seat for the NPP in the upcoming polls, called on Ghanaians to listen to Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, the NPP flagbearer and vote massively for him in the upcoming general elections to win and turn the fortunes of the collapsed country around.
