A move Fifi Kwetey sees as a clear indication of incompetence and lack of political will.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on <em><strong>The Point of View<\/strong> <\/em>on <em><strong>Channel One TV<\/strong><\/em>, Fifi Kwetey asserted that the credibility of the NDC\u2019s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, far surpasses that of Dr. Bawumia, highlighting the former\u2019s track record of achievements and commitment to delivering on promises, in stark contrast to the latter\u2019s unfulfilled pledges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it that takes courage, it takes principle. We\u2019re talking about the flagbearer of NPP, who actually is the head of the economic management team. Who has been at the heart of governance, who\u2019s still promising what we call heaven, when he\u2019s in power and capable of resolving the problem. Who\u2019s promising that when he comes, he will resolve e-levy, you\u2019re in power, resolve the e-levy. No, when I come, I\u2019m going to resolve the e-levy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe taxes, when I come, I\u2019m going to bring flat rate, oh really? You\u2019re in power, you have the capacity to do it now, you\u2019re in power you can do so many things. He\u2019s still promising heaven when he has the capacity to be able to do it now and initiate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it\u2019s not just about having been there on that part of Mahama, but it\u2019s simply, about the difference in character. It\u2019s about nobility, it\u2019s about honour. Mahama has it, whereas the flagbearer of NPP absolutely has none,\u201d he told host Bernard Avle.<\/p>\n<p>Fifi Kwetey emphasised that the upcoming election will be decided by the credibility of the presidential candidates, rather than the empty rhetoric being peddled by Dr. Bawumia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis election is not about ideas, it\u2019s going to be about values, principles, and track record anchored on credibility. This election is not about talk, anyone can talk,\u2026 talk is cheap, any crook, or liar can come up with ideas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real essence of leadership is the capacity to be able to have the principle to say things and mean them. To be able to say this is what we want to do and even if you don\u2019t achieve it, people do know that you actually meant it, not to deliberately lie to them and you don\u2019t even have what we call the humility to apologise when things go wrong.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014-<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>: <strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), lacks the credibility to lead Ghana as President.
