A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from Ketu South District, Novihoho Afaglo, has called on Ghanaians to reject Alan Kyerematen’s political tactics, describing them as ‘empty’

According to him, the 'Butterfly man' has nothing new to offer Ghanaians and the youth and therefore, they should not give in to the deceit and lies he is propagating.

Afaglo, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Marrer Ghana Limited, Susatgad Boat Building and Fishing Industry, said Alan Kyerematen is part of the mess that the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has created in the country but has now turned himself into a ‘night angel,’ trying to distance himself from the rot and corruption.

“If for seven years Alan couldn’t do something good and forward-looking for the youth of Ghana to change their fortunes with all the state machinery at his disposal, what new then can he do now that he is walking alone?” he quizzed in an interview.

The Keta South NDC member added that “even if he has lost touch with the support base of his former party, what then can he now offer Ghanaians and the youth now?”

Novihoho Afaglo said Alan should pinpoint one single initiative he implemented as the Minister of Trade and Industry which improved the lives of Ghanaians and the economy, apart from sending Ghana to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

He said Ghana is a mess through the contribution and advice he gave and “so if he now turns to try to profess solution to the mess he and his government created, Ghanaians must expose his lies and reject him because he is empty and has nothing new.”

Afaglo, further, called Ghanaians to reject the lies and propaganda being spewed by the NPP government and their sympathizers because they have nothing good to offer the country.

Background

It would be recalled that on September 25, 2023, Alan Kyerematen resigned from the New Patriotic Party and declared his intention to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election in Ghana.

This is not the first time Alan is quitting the party.

After the 2007 presidential primaries, where he contested against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, he raised issues with the process just as he has done now, and went ahead to resign.

Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
