A former aide to deputy chief of staff under the Atta Mills regime Halidu Haruna has criticized National Democratic Congress (NDC) stalwart Samuel Koku Anyidoho for his incessant public attacks on President John Dramani Mahama.
Halidu Haruna, who worked at the presidency under Mills, said Anyidoho’s actions have confirmed suspicions that he may have worked against Mahama while he was Vice President.
“But to the extent that you go public with it, it confirms that indeed you were doing something wrong against him while he was vice president,” Halidu Haruna said in a phone interview on Metro TV’s Good Afternoon Ghana.
Haruna contrasted Anyidoho’s situation with that of other individuals who worked closely with Mills but have since found favor under Mahama’s leadership.
“Dr. Valerie Sawyer was very close with Professor Mills… Nii Lantey Vanderpuye was very close. In fact, Nii Lantey was much more closer than any of us… The question is, are they not working under John Mahama? They are working under John Mahama,” he told Annie Afua Ampofo.
Halidu Haruna expressed disappointment that Anyidoho did not take a more measured approach to resolving his issues with Mahama.
“I was so saddened by the fact that my senior brother, Koku Anyidoho, did not take his time and allow posterity to judge. But he decided to take the decision on his own, and he went too far.”
