The outgoing National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Freddie Blay, has given the strongest indications that the party will, in no way, apologize to Ghanaians for seeking an economic bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
According to him, the party is not in the position to offer any such apology to the Ghanaian people, as demanded by the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr. Blay gave this indication while speaking in an interview at the party’s National Delegates Conference to elect national officers held at the Accra Sports Stadium in the Greater Accra Region.
He was categorical that the party will not apologize for the decision it took to seek an economic bailout from the IMF.
He questioned whether the NDC, led by former President John Dramani Mahama, ever apologized for plunging the country into total darkness (Dumsor).
Mr. Blay stressed that it will never happen.
Under the current NPP administration, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was hovering around five to six percent, he said.
This, he noted, never happened under the administration of the NDC.
