Former Greater Accra Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Ade Coker, has dismissed the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s criticism of the Mahama administration’s first 120 days as politically motivated and irrelevant.
Speaking on ABC News GH, Coker emphasized that the NPP should not be taken seriously, noting, “After messing up the country for 8 years, a government has come in trying to salvage the country in 120 days. What did they achieve in their first 120 days? Absolutely nothing.”
He argued that instead of focusing on political squabbles, the nation should prioritize moving forward for the collective good.
Coker also slammed the NPP for their handling of the galamsey menace, saying, “They had 8 years to solve galamsey and only compounded it.”
He defended the current administration’s actions, stating, “It takes time; we are working on it. A lot of excavators have been seized, and we are beginning the process of amending and repealing relevant legislation.”
According to Coker, the NDC government’s fight against illegal mining is already showing results, but more time and sustained effort are needed to tackle the issue effectively.
The NDC’s response follows sharp criticism from the NPP’s minority in Parliament, who accused President Mahama of abandoning his reform agenda.
The ruling party quickly dismissed this critique as a “bitter pill” and a “diverting tactic,” with Coker insisting that the NDC’s focus remains on making Ghana a better place, rather than engaging in counterproductive political battles.
