It’s as if it is written that history will be made in the forthcoming election, where Ghana will head to the polls to make decision-based on the works of the government and not on personal affiliation, ethnicity and general gravitation of sympathy towards a party. One of such moves which is beginning to shake the fundamental of the political atmosphere of this country is the one made by Ghanaian millionaire, HRH Oscar Yao Doe.
A few days ago, HRH Doe went on social media to make his intention to lean towards the NDC for election 2020 and beyond know, his decision sparked a certain level of debate on national scale owing to the fact that he is a known supporter and financial backbone of the current President, His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo. He has been loyal to the Akufo’s campaign and overall drive to become the President of Ghana since 2007, which he achieved in 2016, however, HRH Doe disagreed with certain decision made by the President and his associates that have led to the collapse of many companies in the country and turned the financial sector into a total smoke without fire or any urge to boost the economy of the country.
Has rendered the many workers jobless and general outcry for an improvement in the financial sector. After making his first announcement, and adding that his will reveal his stand probably in January 2020, a lot of people questioned his loyalty to President Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP, However, HRH Doe has come out again to make his point clear that, he is not making the switch to seek favours from the NDC but rather, he wants to see changes, balanced atmosphere in the business sector, hence not for political appointment.
Nevertheless, he has also added that the only post he will agree to is the advisory position, and not be a member of parliament of more. He ended by showing his appreciation to everyone that has holistically supported his decision for the switch.
