According to him, the untold hardships that Ghanaians were going through currently indicate that President Mills and the NDC has totally failed Ghanaians.
Nana Ohene Ntow was speaking on Peace Fm, an Accra based radio station on Thursday, January 7th 2009.
He said the NDC government has performed poorly by not sticking to the “Better Ghana Agenda that was preached by President Mills during the 2008 elections.
“President Mills has not adhered to the “Better Ghana Agenda” promised by the NDC during the 2008 electioneering campaign,” noted Ohene Ntow.
He expressed his frank disappointment at the way and manner the NDC, led by President Mills was ruling the country.
Ohene Ntow observed that the NPP did extremely well when it was in power by stabilising the cedi and was always on top of crude oil problems.
He added that the Mills administration has not been able to buy crude for TOR which has led to the wild hunt and haphazard queuing for oil in all parts of the country.
Ohene Ntow held that the Mills’ administration promised Ghanaians of peace, but when they were voted into power, they seized vehicles belonging to opposition party officials.
“I cannot fathom how a government that preached peace could ever infringe upon the rights of opposition officials by seizing vehicles which belonged to them,” Ohene Ntow stressed.
He opined that what baffled him most was that the NDC promised to fight corruption, but was now promoting corruption in the sense that, the Mills’ administration was nominating people whose names were mentioned in the raging Mabey and Johnson Bribery Scandal as Ambassadors.
“I do not seem to understand why a government who promised of curbing corruption in the country is now nominating people whose names were mentioned in the Mabey and Johnson bribery scandal as ambassadors; this is highly unacceptable,“ Ohene Ntow reiterated.
