Dela Edem, a member of John Dramani Mahama’s communication team, stated that criticism concerning the presidential jet is hypocritical. He said this during an appearance on Adom FM.
Edem argued that the New Patriotic Party NPP cannot fairly criticise the issue. He based this on his view of eight years of failed governance by the NPP.
He suggested the NPP’s timing and reasoning for their criticism were politically motivated. Edem implied that their past performance overshadowed their right to question current spending.
The comments were made in response to ongoing public discussions about the presidential jet. Details of the specific criticisms were not fully elaborated in his statement.
Edem indicated that the opposition's focus on this issue distracts from broader governance concerns. He called for a more balanced assessment of public resources.
