Read more and help yourself - Omane Boamoah to legon lecturer

A former Minister of Communications Dr Edward Omane Boamah has not taken lightly to criticisms by Dr Owusu Mensah of the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana.

The political scientist on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm said the former communications minister is not ripped politically to contest the highest office of the country on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Dr Iaac Owusu Mensah admonished the former Communications Minister to plan of contesting and becoming the country’s President in the future.

He remarked that the former Minister of Local Government Samuel Ofosu Ampofo will be the best candidate to lead the NDC in 2020.

‘If I look at the list and calibre of people in the NDC, people who have experience and public trust in NDC, Ofosu Ampofo should be one of the crucial candidate for them.

I don’t want to comment so much on Omane Boamah because I don’t think he is qualified. I am not talking about age, but intellectually he is not qualified to be a President of Ghana.

There are so many candidates in line who they can look at their advantages and disadvantages, but Omane Boamah has not gotten to that level,’ he pointed out.

But in response he advised the lecturer to read more and help himself rather than engage in skewed analysis debunking claims he was lacing his boots to run for presidency in 2020.

“ I am not interested in contesting for “President in 2020”. The reason is far from your procured and intellectually deficient submission. Read more…and help yourself”
