Former General Secretary of the NPP Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie has attributed the current economic challenges to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in the election petition, that said President Mahama indeed, won the 2012 presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Mr. Owusu Afriyie affectionately called Sir John, said in an interview on the Point Blank<\/strong> segment on Eyewitness News<\/strong> \u00a0by affirming John Mahama winner of the 2012 election, the Supreme Court endorsed an “incompetent” government.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”xa9O3eQfrVJCKbm6QbOJ2p5lRTNtUFKg”]The NPP\u00a0 challenged the results of the 2012 elections<\/strong><\/span><\/a> at the Supreme Court alleging the results were rigged in favour John Dramani Mahama but the Court ruled in favour of the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey knew that it was not for them at the end and the conclusion of the matter they saw the judgment that was bequeathed to this country and we are all suffering as a result of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The economic challenges have compelled government to resort to the International Monetary Fund to seek support to turn the economy around.<\/p>\n

Other pressure groups, including Occupy Ghana have also taken to the streets<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to protest against government’s handling of the economy.<\/p>\n

He insisted the NPP is not playing politics with the economic situation but insisted that \u201cIf you prophesy that the country is going to be in ruins you are also in it and I am happy we are all {in it} together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NPP on Wednesday organized thousands of people to demonstrate<\/strong><\/span><\/a> against government\u2019s inability to manage the economic crises and also solve the energy crises which is collapsing more and more business.<\/p>\n

The demonstration has been downplayed by some members of government and the Power Minister also described it as a “fit exercise.”<\/p>\n

But President John Mahama has said he feels challenged<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to do more to stabilize the power crisis.<\/p>\n

But Sir John said the NDC government will pay dearly during the\u00a02016 elections for the way it has managed the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians are fed up,\u201d he said and \u201cwill show them the exit if they don\u2019t listen\u201d He said.<\/p>\n
