A failed Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mohammed Abdulai Mubarak (alias Ras Mubarak), says Communications Minister Haruna Iddrisu should show remorse before displaying his self righteous hypocrisy.
According to the NDC activist, Mr Iddrisu, as treacherous as he is, has no audacity to accuse former president Jerry John Rawlings of treating the NDC government unfairly.
The Communications Minister said on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana Thursday that with his constant public outbursts, Mr Rawlings was not being fair to president Mills and his government.
He noted that the ex-president should be grateful because it is in his own interest that his party is in power.
Responding to these statements, Ras Mubarak noted in a press statement that “if there’s anyone who is selfish and very greedy in the NDC, it is Haruna Iddrisu”.
He accused Iddrisu of claiming “on Joy FM he had received numerous complaints from all over the country - from party youths who are not too pleased because they have been snubbed by the President,” barely 48 hours after Mills had been sworn in.
Ras Mubarak accused the Minister for Communications for “preying on unsuspecting youth leaders in the various tertiary institutions across the country to protest against President Mills if he wasn’t made a minister”.
“Today he claims people are unduly putting pressure on the president, he said, questioning that “what was Haruna Iddrisu doing when he attempted to set the youths of the party against President Mills?"
Though he admired President Mills’ modest lifestyle and personal integrity, Ras warned that “the president cannot succeed with treacherous and callow characters like Haruna around the presidency”.
“They are the reason why the country is in its current state of faltering morale,” he charged.
He was disgusted at the New Patriotic Party (NPP’s) arrogance of thinking they can better run the country just over a year after being driven out of office by Ghanaian voters despite a widely held suspicion of plunder, mismanagement and indifference.
Ras Mubarak could only blame such arrogance of the opposition on the president whom he said “had a unique opportunity to cherry-pick ministerial material that would help him quickly bring succour to Ghanaians, but rather opted for tokenism - forty percent women appointment and a list of largely untested lads. The result is a vote of no confidence.”
However, he was confident that there are still very competent party members on the sidelines, naming “the likes of Kwamina Ahwoi, Spio-Garbrah and Tony Aidoo - people who are very loyal, competent and have a huge network of international contacts badly needed in government today”.
