Ofori Amponsah endorses Dr Bawumia
In an exclusive interview with media personality Berla Mundi on The Day Show, Ofori Amponsah noted that the country was experiencing economic challenges like any other and that Ghanaians should not give up.
"No one particular person can fix it until this whole country, we come together to fix it. It is not fixable."
Speaking about the cedi's depreciation relative to the dollar, he noted that if National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama were to come to power, the dollar might be GH16, and it might depreciate further to GH25.
Ofori Amponsah noted that another president would come to power, and the situation might worsen in the next 10 years. He noted that Ghanaians have to come together and do an introspection to figure out what is plaguing the economy.
"They (NPP) actually introduced a lot of interventionist programmes more than the other side (NDC). I am purely NPP I will tell you."
Ofori Amponsah noted that doing a song for Bawumia should not startled Ghanaians since he had always been for the party.
