He pointed out that the NPP members believed they could win the 2024 elections by joking around with Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC communication officer.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cSomeone like me, I get up in the morning, adopt a strategy to save a whole political party from a whole mess, when the economy is bashing the whole government, I am saying this on records, the economy Ghanaians were saying they were hungry, and no one was listening to what we were saying,\u201d Ernest Owusu Bempah explained in an interview with Vim Lady&#8217;s. The entire NDC apparatus is following me, he continued. &#8220;I went to bring the Airbus Scandal, strategically I was in my room, and I brought the Airbus Scandal, I am just trying to tell you that strategy is very key, in politics.&#8221;<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cAs a political party, you need to be strategic, and then you will be doing campaign elections and you claim it is all about bantering Sammy Gyamfi on the radio and TV will win you an election, you will be making a terrible mistake,\u201d the NPP man continued. \u201cIs there only one person you think, and why do you think they are always thinking about me? Ernest Owusu Bempah, meanwhile, stated in a different interview that Ghanaians will regret choosing the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Ernest Owusu Bempah claims that under John Dramani Mahama, there will be severe economic hardship and dumsor.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAdditionally, he claimed that it is inevitable that John Mahama will irritate Ghanaians. The OSP concluded its investigation into the Airbus bribery scandal in August 2024, stating that there was no proof that John Mahama, who was known as &#8220;Government Official 1,&#8221; had accepted any bribes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: YawaNews <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog is managed by the content creator and not GhanaWeb, its affiliates, or employees.
