The Trade and Industry Minister has taken a swipe at the biggest opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by describing their actions and utterances as akin to that of their forebears, the United Party (UP).
According to Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah, the NPP is attacking President Mahama's unparalleled achievements as far as infrastructural development is concerned because that is the same thing they did to the Nation's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
". . we know their traits and they are doing all they can to destroy President Mahama and his achievements because it is these same people who in 1966, together with the American CIA overthrew Kwame Nkrumah's government and destroyed over 300 industries he set up.
"Their sole aim was to tell the people of Ghana that Nkrumah had done nothing. And I tell you honestly that the NPP has the attributes of the UP tradition. They have only metamorphosed in name and not character," he told Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie on OKAY FM.
Spio Garbrah further traced the various transformations in name of the political tradition till the present one, NPP, and called on all Ghanaians to disregard all the negative and baseless assertions being made against the person and administration of President Mahama.
"They began by calling themselves the United Party (UP), then Progress Party (PP), later the Popular Front Party (PFP) and now the New Patriotic Party (NPP) so they have always changed in name but their character and members remain," he claimed.
Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah made this statement on the back of a promise by the Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo to build one factory in each district and also one dam in a village across the length and breadth of Ghana, should he be voted into power as President.
". . we would have been far ahead by this time, we assembled many things including radio sets, refrigerators, we had the Nsawan Cannery where we canned fruits and vegetables. We had a glass factory and a sugar factory . . . all these were run down by the UP tradition, now NPP, so we must be wary when we hear them talk about 'one district, one factory' because it is deceitful."
To him, the only hope to this country at this moment is President John Dramani Mahama because he is leading the way to revamp all the factories that were destroyed.
" . . he is the one who has been able to put life in the Komenda and Asutwari Sugar Factories after the forefathers of the NPP ruined them over forty years ago," he said.

Spio Gabrah or whatever you call yourself, I am from Asutsuare and I am telling you on record that, the Asutsuare Sugar factory was destroyed by you own NDC headed by Mr. Mike Gizo. I was there when it was sold and cut into pieces and sold to scrab dealers. Please don't throw dust into the eyes of the public.
Listen to him. You are all there and Ghana is ROTTEN to the bone, and what do you say? What did NPP do to Nkrumah? Was NPP in existence during Nkrumah's time? The wind of CHANGE is blowing and NDC is confused. CHANGE IS COMING!
And he wants to be the next flag bearer of the NDC ..... JM SIFOM ... we are tired of propaganda
I LISTENED TO SPIO GARBRAH SPEAK ON OKAY FM THIS MORNING AND I WAS SURPRISED AND SAD AT HIS SUBMISSIONS. I THOUGHT (OR HAVE HEARD THAT) HE IS A BRILLIANT MAN BUT HIS SUBMISSIONS WERE AT BEST PEDESTRIAN PROPAGANDA WHICH SHOULD BE SPEWED BY AN UNEDUCATED SERIAL CALLER. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF WHETHER IT IS SURPRISING THAT GHANA IS WHERE IT IS IF PEOPLE LIKE SPIO-GARBRAH COULD LOOSE THEIR "WISDOM" BECAUSE OF POLITICS. LEADERSHIP IN GHANA SEEMS TO HAVE GONE TO THE DOGS, NO WONDER AS A COUNTRY WE ARE GOING NO WHERE. GHANA IS IN TROUBLE!!!
I held you in high esteem as someone capable of steering the affairs of this country but highly disappointed after listening to you this morning
VOTE OUT THESE DEAD GOA.T NDC THUG.S, THIEVE.S, LIAR.S OUT IN 2016, TO SAVE GHANA FROM DOOM, GLOOM AND DESTRUCTION.
I thought He was a team A player why is he playing for team B
