Reports coming in allege that the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor, Dr Johnson Asiama, is reportedly nurturing a presidential ambition.
The information was shared by Blakk Rasta, a Ghanaian reggae artiste and media personality, on his show The Black Pot.
Blakk Rasta alleged that Dr Johnson Asiama is also nurturing a presidential ambition to succeed President John Mahama.
According to Blakk Rasta, there is an intense power play happening between Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama.
According to the reports, the Intense power play between the Finance Minister and BoG Boss is threatening GoldBod operations, which is led by Sammy Gyamfi.
Blakk Rasta highlighted that Ato Forson and Dr Asiama, who are supposed to work hand in hand, are rather fighting each other because the two have presidential ambitions.
He alleged that the two giants are trying to do whatever they can to put something aside for the rainy day.
Speaking on The Black Pot, Blakk Rasta narrated, “Ato Forson is still forcing, but his forcing is based on GoldBod; then there is also Dr Johnson, the governor of the Bank of Ghana. The two are supposed to work hand in hand. Ato Forson and Johnson Asiamah with Goldbod in the middle. They are both supposed to push GoldBod left, right, and centre, rock it nicely on the very, very turbulent waters to be able to arrive safely.
But it looks like the two of them have a conflict, and this is exclusive”.
Blakk Rasta further alleged, “These are the two giants. And they are fighting. Why are they fighting? Maybe they are disagreeing, and it’s all about GoldBod information reaching me has it that the two allegedly have presidential ambitions; Ato Forson is eyeing the presidency. Dr Johnson is also eyeing the presidency, and as it stands, they both are trying to do whatever they can to put something aside, and when I say something aside, understand for the rainy day.
What is the rainy day? Their personal ambition to succeed the president, and that is rocking GoldBod badly. Sammy Gyamfi has become the sacrifice. He is sitting on GoldBod, and two giant elephants under an umbrella are fighting. This man here has so much experience. He is 10 years older than Ato Forson. He has so much experience in banking. This is what he wants, and we are hearing that some of them may even be compromised with the IMF and the World Bank; as to what that means, I don’t know.
My brother they say when two elephants are fighting it is the grass that suffers do they really have personal ambitions to succeed the president what is the president saying is he going to crack the whip Or he’s going to look Ato Forson and say oh forcing you are still forcing so stay ah Dr. Johnson you two you have a lot of experience okay you two stay and then weaken GoldBod”.
Black Rasta further revealed that attempts to speak to GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi about the power play between Dr Forson and Dr Asiamah have proved futile.
He further narrated, “Who really is the problem? Is it John Asiamah, or is it Ato Forson, or is it both? Ghana first in everything we do; all egos must be put aside, personal ambitions must be put aside, until the Titanic crosses the oceans and beds properly, or else we are going to mess up the country, and at the end of the day we would have had the bed in hand.
Let it go running after one in the wild. I placed a call to Sammy Gyamfi to ask him about this. He didn’t answer. I sent him a message and told him that I wanted to talk to him about this. He still did not answer. It meant that he was not interested in speaking about this. But whatever it is, my brother is Ghana first”.
He further disclosed that President Mahama is aware of the intense power play between the Finance Minister and BoG Boss.
“I hear the president is aware of this. He has called the two parties or the three parties. He has spoken to them. But it looks like it’s happening. It’s still underground, and it’s affecting GoldBod. It is affecting GoldBod. It is affecting Gold. As for Sammy Gyamfi, he’s doing his very best.
He’s the poster kid of the president. He has no presidential ambitions, at least not now. He’s looking at leaving a strong legacy. But the two giants, if we are not careful, they will sink the Titanic”, he added.
Meanwhile, the Council of Elders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has directed a ban on all party members engaging in early presidential campaigns to succeed President John Mahama and focus on the Reset Agenda.
According to the NDC Council of Elders, the directive follows a meeting between them and President John Dramani Mahama.
The NDC Council of Elders noted that they have observed the premature presidential campaigns and related political activities by some individuals and groups within the party, adding that the party’s current focus should be supporting the government to deliver on its mandate and improve the lives of Ghanaians.
The Council stressed that the focus should be on the President Mahama Reset Agenda, highlighting that the time for internal contests will come.
