Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of defunct UT Bank and UT Holdings, Captain Prince Kofi Amoabeng (rtd) has thrown his weight behind former President John Dramani Mahama ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Even though Mr. Amoabeng has always backed the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the past, he believes it is time to let the former president to take the helm of the nation once more.
The business tycoon stated in an interview with Kofi TV that his decision is grounded in his seven years of experience since the NPP came to power in 2016.
“I wasn’t NDC as such. In fact, my sister was the MP for our area and she was Deputy Minister for Education until the recent reshuffle and of course I have to support my sister. So people in the NDC think I am NPP but the thing about this is that my genuine friends are in the NDC even though I didn’t support them in the past
“I think we made a wrong experiment and next time I have to make the right choice. So now knowing Mahama and knowing what the NPP has done, I think I have to go fully behind NDC and Mahama to see what he can do for us in his second coming.”
Mr. Amoabeng’s claim supports previous remarks he made about his dissatisfaction with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The businessman emphasized that the NPP has shown they are no better than the other party when it comes to running the country during an interview on StarrFM.
The retired Captain explained that Ghanaians had high hopes in the NPP but they have disappointed the nation.
“I think one thing most Ghanaians say and I agree with them is that we had high hopes for the NPP. Because we thought at the time that the NDC had disappointed us and of course it is easy to narrate all the problems that we were going through at the time.
“But certainly, the NPP has shown that they are not a better alternative and it is even worse. They will say it is because they took my bank, but forget it,” Mr. Amoateng stated.
