Koku Anyidoho, Founder and Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of the Atta Mills Institute (AMI), has weighed in on remarks made by former President John Dramani Mahama that have ignited controversy across Ghana.
Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), reportedly commented that Gas-referring to the people of the Greater Accra Region-are primarily concerned with traditional foods like kenkey and fish, suggesting they do not require digitalization to enhance their livelihoods.
Anyidoho on X, did not mince words in his response, highlighting the serious implications of Mahama's statement. "JM has caused serious problems for himself via his extremely derogatory comments about Gas spending all their lives thinking of kenkey and fish," he stated, emphasizing the insensitivity of such remarks.
He further questioned the validity of claims made by some analysts that Mahama is poised to win Greater Accra by an overwhelming 80%. "How can anyone think that such statements would resonate positively with the people?" Anyidoho challenged.
