Nana Akomea and Dr Abbey are at loggerheads over Bawumia's recent campaign on Mahama'sIMF support. 



Nana Akomea, the chairman of the State Transport Corporation (STC), has spoken out againstMetro TV's Good Morning Ghana show host, Dr Randy Abbey, over the recent announcement by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia that the International Monetary Fund ). IMF) get money.

Nana Akomea, the former National CommunicationsDirector of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is not happy withthe release of a video of Dr Bawumia criticizing John Dramani Mahama for choosing the IMF bailout, Friday, May 19, 2023. In the said video, Bawumia said the Mahama administration has chosen the IMF bailout because it spends a lot and borrows a lot. 

Akomea, a former Member of Parliament and Federal Minister, accused the organizers of Good Morning Ghana of lack of interest. Hesaid they always reflect the past statements of current government officials and not those of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). 

"What
 is the point of this video? …he is very rude. Why don't you show what John Mahama said before we went to the IMF? "I have a complaint with you and your production team that you are showing a one-sided movie.You said that you are going down in the past... if you godown in the past, you should reflect what people on both sides have said. "...if you want to be fair and impartial, you should show what the NDC said in 2015 when they went to the IMF," he said. 

Randy Abbey on his part, said that Nana Akomea's commentthat his team was creating negative things was in his opinion "irrelevant". Heexplained that the reason for reading the video is to show and why Dr. Bawumia helps the Mahamama employees for today. 

"...
 what is the balance you say. These are issues when he is not an economist. His critic (from Bawumia) for economists. "Today, he is in charge and we are back to the same place, even if it is worse, that is why I am saying what he said," he said.
