Ghana\u2019s former Ambassador to the Netherlands, Dr Tony Aidoo says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was a problem for the NDC to handle in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

According to him, the then-vice presidential candidate of the NPP was the Achilles\u2019 heel of the NDC despite his flaws in some economic matters.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tony Aidoo in his first interview with TV3 after returning from his diplomatic assignment noted that the NDC had no one to match the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana economic analysis.<\/p>\n

He stressed that; the NDC\u2019s communication team must have people with \u201chistorical recall\u201d and \u201cadministrative memory\u201d to counter Dr Bawumia\u2019s in the next elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I missed was the inability of the NDC communication team to bring out the facts so as to challenge the comparative analysis that Dr Bawumia was making,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr Bawumia was the Achilles\u2019 heel of the NDC. Not only for the 2016 elections but he started way back in 2012,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tony Aidoo however noted that, Dr. Bawumia\u2019s flaws were that \u201cHe ignored the fact that for the most part of the Kufuor administration, the eight years was virtually carried by donor financial support. All the social interventions that Kufuor implemented were donor supported.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201d . . At the time our national debt was about 6.8 billion dollars. In effect, our debt-to-GDP ratio certainly dropped sharply so on what grounds can Bawumia compare that an economy that was virtually carried by donor financial support was managed better than an economy that did not have those support?\u201d he sought to know.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
