Dumsor Timetable Osafo Maafos Blame On NAPO Is A Ploy To Scuttle His Running Mate Chances Bernard Mornah

Former Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah says the comment by Mr. Yaw Osafo-Maafo that the Energy Minister is the only person to order for the publication of a “dumsor” timetable is an attempt to derail the Minister’s chance to become Running Mate to the NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Bernard Mornah, the Akyem mafia in the NPP is against the Energy Minister because he blocked their shady deals and for that, they plot to ruin his chances of ascending the party’s hierarchy.  

“Why would Osafo-Maafo say this at this material point in time? I think it is meant to scuttle the chances of the Energy Minister in the Running Mate agenda because they don’t like him”, he said to Berla Mundi on TV3.

He continued; “Clearly the likes of Osafo-Maafo want to shift the blame on Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh just because he is in contention in the NPP Running Mate agenda. For me, there is a higher authority and that higher authority is not Matthew Opoku Prempeh” to bring out the timetable.

Mr. Mornah’s response comes on the heels of the Senior Advisor to the President, Yaw Osafo-Maafo’s call on the Energy Minister to publish a load-shedding timetable and a similar demand from the Executive Director of IES, Nana Amoasi who says the Minister needs to be removed from office.

Mr. Mornah described the calls as not being in good faith but rather a political agenda solely against the Energy Minister.
