Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has said Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia must resign over the poor state of the Ghanaian economy.
According to him, Mr. Bawumia has failed to deliver on the numerous promises and assurances he gave Ghanaians when the New Patriotic Party was in opposition.
Government has come under intense public backlash over the performance of the Cedi against the dollar and the rising cost of petroleum products.
The President has conceded things are difficult in Ghana.
But the Vice President insists Ghanaians are better off under the NPP government because things would have been worse under an NDC government.
“If you look at the data you will realise that whilst they (NDC) were borrowing, the debt to GDP ratio was increasing, jumping and ballooning. But while we are borrowing the debt to GDP is declining. So they should take a closer look at the data and come back again.
“This was confirmed last week by Standard and Poor, a global rating agency which has upgraded Ghana’s ratings, sovereign credit rating from B minus to B with a stable outlook. And, this is the first upgrade that Ghana has received in 10 years. In fact, we should recall that the NPP under President John Agyekum Kufuor left office with Ghana’s rating at B plus. After 8 years of the NDC’s economic management, our ratings went from B plus to B minus. This is after 8 years! After only 20 months of new NPP government under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we have been upgraded from B minus to B,” he noted at the national policy summit in Tamale."
Commenting on the performance of the Vice President so far, Dr. Tamakloe told Bola Ray on Starr Chat Wednesday that the President has performed below expectation.
“In any civilised society, the first person to have jumped out of the boat is Bawumia….he should go.
“He made us believe that the money was there and things were going to change when we take over. I had a lot of hope in him but now I’m totally disappointed in him. Unless things turn around by the end of the year, then I can believe him again”.

Dr Nyaho Tamakloe, I think you should stick to your area of expertise and leave the turf of economics because you don't fit at all. This is an economy that was just recently upgraded. An economy that has been experiencing a disinflation over the last 18 months and currently in a single digit. Debt to GDP ratio currently stands at 65% from 72%, budget deficit has reduced from 9.5% of GDP to 4.6% with the Bank of Ghana projecting 2.8% at the close of the year and a depreciation of a little over 7% against the dollar since 2017, inspite of a resurgent US economy giving rise to a stronger dollar. So on what basis do you describe the economy as poor? I used to respect you but your association with JDM is turning you into one of his propaganda twerps. Please pay attention to what is happening to you wae.
Dr,Expire food Bawumia
A bent tree can not be straightened at once. Yes things are not running the way they should, there is more hope for a brighter future. This administration must be careful of personalities with presidential ambitions, they are the cause of our woes.
This man is BS.
It is only 1d0ts who see economies growing at 8.3% as poor but praised and supported the one that grew at 3.4%. Nyaho's uncontrolled jealousy, vendetta and sheer hatred for this administration will gradually eat him up, and eventually send him to his grave.Those three Drs (Nyaho, Charles & Arthur) teamed up with Afoko to destroy the NPP, yet they failed woefully. While the other two "Judases" appear to be hibernating, this one is still making noise. He lost it before starting.
