The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says its Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama has been active in issues related to Covid-19 because he is concerned about the health of Ghanaians.
The NDC shot down claims of politicization of the pandemic situation, asserting that Mahama is “not just a critic”.
The Party said Mr Mahama had been very instrumental in making recommendations and donating Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to health workers in a bid to augment the government efforts to win the fight against the virus.
Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said this when the NDC COVID-19 Technical Team led by its Chair, Mr Prosper Bani, a former Chief of Staff on behalf of Mr Mahama, presented 40 sets of complete PPE to Keta Municipal Hospital to support the fight against COVID-19.

“The donations nationwide were indications that the former President was not just an armchair critic who is not contributing to the solution,” he noted, adding that, “he could have just decided to be an opposition leader who criticizes when there are shortfalls.”
“He chose to be a different Flagbearer especially having been a former President, he had seen it before. He managed the Ebola crisis and knows how difficult it is to oversee a crisis situation that’s why he thought that he would not only offer useful suggestions, some of which have been taken, some have not but beyond the useful suggestions he continues to make, he believes that he must also offer humanitarian support,” Mr Ablakwa said.
