"Pastor Otabil is a propagandist" - says NDC Deputy General Secretary

"Otabil is part of the people creating the impression that nothing good is happening in Ghana, that’s why we’re worried. He’s part of the propaganda," says Anydho.

 

According to the Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) , Pastor Mensa Otabil's recent comments about Ghana's economy is creating an impression in the minds of the public that the Mahama-led administration has done nothing meaningful to improve the lives of Ghanaians.

Delivering a sermon on Sunday, May 15, the Man of God expressed his concern over the harsh economic condition currently existing in the country.

In a reaction to Pastor Mensa Otabil’s comments, Koku Anyidoho condemned the latter for always trying to run down the Mahama administration.

He said Pastor Otabil can also help improve the living condition of a section of Ghanaians by using his privileged position to help students who school in his university.

“If he says Ghana is hard then he should give a rebate and say that one academic year he’s not charging school fees, then we’ll know that he’s walking the talk; leadership by example, he should not charge school fees for a whole year to make life simpler for everybody. If Ghana is tough, the students who are attending Central University and paying exorbitant school fees are also suffering. So he should lead and decide that he’ll not charge school fees and then we’ll listen to him, for now, he should give us a break," Anyidoho told Kasapa FM.

He continued: "Otabil is part of the people creating the impression that nothing good is happening in Ghana, that’s why we’re worried. He’s part of the propaganda. If Ghana is not nice …..he should make life better for the students who attend his university.

“There was a recent report that said he (Otabil) is the most influential person in Ghana, so what is his problem? You have money…you’re very influential so what again? What opportunities again does he want that he has not gotten…then he should give free education in his university? Don’t we have relatives attending his university and don’t we here the stories of the exorbitant school fees he charges in his place, so why don’t he give them rebate.”
