Prince Kofi Amoabeng, founder of defunct UT Bank and UT Holdings
Businessman and founder of the defunct UT Bank and UT Holdings, Prince Kofi Amoabeng, has endorsed John Dramani Mahama’s presidential candidacy in the upcoming December 2024 polls.
Despite having aligned himself with the New Patriotic Party in the past, Mr. Amoabeng’s latest support for the National Democratic Congress standard-bearer is [John Mahama] This is the second time he has spoken publicly.
In an interview with KOFI TV, the business mogul explained his current position and cited his observations of the governing NPP during his last seven years in office as the basis for his reasons.
“I was not the NDC per se. My sister is the Member of Parliament for our region and until the recent reshuffle she was the Deputy Minister of Education. Of course I have to support my sister. Hmm. So the NDC people think I’m in the NPP, but the important thing about this is that my true friends are in the NDC, even if I haven’t supported them in the past. That’s what Kofi Amoabeng said.
He stressed that the governing NPP has been disappointing, adding that he believes the country needs change as it has failed to live up to the expectations of the people since taking office in 2017. .
“I think we made the wrong experiment, so next time we have to make the right choice. So now knowing Mahama and knowing what the NPP has been doing, I want to support the NDC and Mahama. I think we need to fully support him and see what he can do for us at his second coming,” he said.
In early January this year, Prince Kofi Amoabeng proposed that John Mahama be given a second chance to become Ghana’s president, citing the mismanagement and economic ruin that the Akufo Addo Bawumia government had imposed on Ghanaians.
