H. E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Must Take the blame for Wasteful and Worthless Presidential Tour of the Central Region

*For Immediate Release

From: Central Region NDCTo:

All Media HousesDate : October 20, 2021

The Central Regional NDC has taken notice of a two-day profligate and wasteful Presidential visit by HE. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo which started from Monday, 18th October, 2021 and ended on 19th October, 2021.

Whiles we appreciate the President of the Republic for the visit to our Region, we believe his coming has been a bewildered, spontaneous and reactive one needlessly occasioned by the rousing welcome which greeted John Dramani Mahama during his “Thank You Your” of the Region on Friday, 15th October 2021.

The politically expedient tour which has brought humiliation to the President is incontrovertible in the last minute negotiation by Hon. Alan Kyeremateng with K.T Investment Company Ltd, a Chinese lubricant factory at Gomoa Akotsi in order to rebrand and classify it under 1D1F initiative to score undeserving and unmerited political points in the Gomoa East District. This act of sheer deception and bad faith must not be countenanced by a leader who must demonstrate candour and high levels of integrity as expected of his office.Obviously, Nana Addo’s government substandard performance so far has reflected in the cold reception the good people of Central Region accorded him.

This is an ample testament to why he could not muster the courage to speak on infrastructure after President Mahama threw a challenge to him on project accountability debate.It is the height of embarrassment that whiles President John Mahama could tout his achievements in the form of transformational project he delivered during his media engagement with Cape Fm which was synchronized across the region, President Akuffo Addo though in his second term is still inspecting and cutting sod for piecemeal projects.

We are not surprised to hear from the President that Komenda Sugar Factory will work again whiles he could not go there to assess the state of dilapidation. He has soon forgotten he came to tell us he has given approval for strategic investor to take over the factory, since 4th June, 2020 and now we are being told that, the so-called strategic investor, Park Agrotech Ghana Limited could not fulfill the conditions hence, the government is discontinuing with the arrangement. It is incontestable that President Akuffo Addo have deliberately refused to access the $24.5 million meant for the production of sugarcane because they have no intention to operationalize the factory.Where is the commitment of President Akuffo Addo if indeed he mean well for the people of Central Region?.

It’s also shocking to note that, HE Nana Akufo Addo could look into the face of the people of Central Region as a whole and Cape Coast in particular to state that he didn’t promise us a harbour. We want to know whether HE. Nana Akuffo Addo is running a parallel administration with his Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia or they belong to the same administration? Stemming from the fact that on 22nd August 2020, HE. Dr. Bawumia promised orally “The Central Regional capital of Cape Coast will for the first time see the construction of a harbour and an airport”.

It was a clear promise from the governing New Patriotic Party to the people of Central Region that should they be given the mandate to run the affairs of the country for another four- year term that infrastructure will be given to the region. Again, we refer HE. Nana Akufo Addo to the NPP’s 2020 Manifesto, which captures this famous deceitful promise in page 160, part 4 line 6. Though, we are dismayed about this blatant denial of sacrosanct promise, it is indisputable that deception has become the hallmark of HE. Nana Addo/Bawumia’s government. We want to assure him and his NPP party that they will pay dearly for deceiving us in the next general elections.Again, in Assin South President Akufo Addo did sod-cutting for the construction of the Nyankomasi Ahenkro – Assin Jakai road.

It is a matter of fact that this particular road has been captured on their infrastructure delivery tracker as having been constructed. Also, Hon Ntim Fourduor, MP for Assin South Constituency, has on a number of occasions said on national platforms that he has constructed this same stretch of road and touts it as part of his achievements. So why the sod cutting again? The most bizzare spectacle was Presidential convoy of over 45 Toyota Land Cruisers which came with the HE. Akuffo Addo to commission a CHPS Compound, a Community Police Station, Community Centre, a school library, and a decorated Traffic Light intersection which was first initiated by the former Member of Parliament, Hon. Mike Hammah.

The unforgettable blunder was the renaming and recommissioning of the Winneba roundabout now reconciliation roundabout, with a statue of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and J.B. Danquah exchanging pleasantries, which obviously indicates the President’s lack of appreciation of Ghana’s history. The question is when did Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and J.B. Danquah met in our history in Winneba to warrant the naming of the so-called “reconciliation roundabout”. This reveals their treachery and hoodwinking attitude of the Nana Addo led NPP. The truth of the matter is, like his numerous failed promises he has made over the years and across the country, the people in the area, and for that matter Assin South Disstrict do not believe the president’s promise to construct the road. This in our view is an insult to the conscience and sensitivity of the good people of Central Region as we expected government to have demonstrated integrity in delivering its appetizing campaign promises.

It suffices to add that a non performing and incompetent President is the one who comes to important regional capital like Cape Coast to inspect engineering laboratories and workshops being constructed by the Ministry of Education despite unsustainable debt hole his government has plunged the country into and it resultant unbearable economic hardships on suffering Ghanaians through imposition of needless taxes.

It is clear the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government is bereft of developmental projects as urine has evaded the proverbial chicken and must take the blame for the wasteful and worthless Presidential tour of the Central Region.Signed Lawrence Kwesi Ghartey DRCO.

Flashback: I’ll build Ghana from bottom-up – Akufo-Addo

Flashback: I’ll build Ghana from bottom-up – Akufo-Addo

Ahead of the 2016 presidential elections, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo, promised electorates that he was going to adopt a bottom-up approach in his government when elected.

He noted that his plan was going to ensure that the national cake was distributed fairly. He again promised that no one will be left behind under his rule.

Read the full story originally published on August 31, 2016, on Ghanaweb

The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says the policies and programmes outlined by him so far are indicative of the fact that a future NPP government will employ the “bottom-up” approach to national development.

The bottom-up approach, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, means that local actors will participate in decision-making, and in the selection of the priorities to be pursued in their communities. This, he noted, will achieve balanced national development, creating wealth and prosperity for all Ghanaians, without discrimination.

Pre. Nana Ado

“We are going to build our country from the bottom-up. That is why we’re talking ‘1-District-1-Factory’, ‘1-Village-1-Dam’. We’re building Ghana from the bottom-up, so that we can get everybody involved,” Akufo-Addo said at a mammoth rally in the Bunkpurugu constituency, in the Northern region.

At the same rally, the party’s vice presidential candidate, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, also unveiled the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), which seeks to draw US$275 million per year from the nation’s capital expenditure budget, out of which each of the 275 constituencies will receive the equivalent of US$1 million each per year, to tackle issues relating to infrastructural development and poverty eradication in rural and deprived communities across the country.

With thousands defying the rain to listen to Nana Akufo-Addo’s message of hope, the NPP flagbearer assured residents of Bunkpurugu and its environs of addressing the concerns put forward by the Paramount Chief, Alhaji Naba Abuba Nasimong.

The Bunkpurugu Chief, in his interaction with Nana Akufo-Addo, stated that their concerns were the construction of the deplorable roads leading to and within Bunkpurugu; the conversion of an inadequate clinic into a district hospital to serve more effectively the health needs of the peoples of the Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo district; and a refurbishment of the rundown secondary schools in the area. He stressed that the needs outlined were for the improvement of the living conditions of his people and not for his own benefit.

The NPP flagbearer assured residents that “I commit myself that if God favours me in December, we’re going to do to all these things to bring up Bunkpurugu”.

With this year’s election being his third attempt at the Presidency, Nana Akufo-Addo appealed for the support of residents, stating that “I want your support so we can go into Jubilee House and bring prosperity to all parts of Ghana.

“Ghana is not a poor country. We are not a poor people. It is poor government that has brought us to where we are. We are looking to come to office to put in place policies that will bring about the revival of our nation, and, for that, we need your support so that in December this year, all of us will say to John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic, goodbye.”

Nana Akufo-Addo also visited the Nalerigu/Gambaga constituency, where he appealed for the support of the Nayiri, the great and highly respected King of Mamprugu, Naa Bohogu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga II, and also urged residents to elect Hajia Alima Mahama as their Member of Parliament, so as to help bring into fruition the NPP’s programme of development for the constituency.

Pre. Nana Ado

The NPP flagbearer’s final stop was at midnight, in the Walewale constituency, where he addressed residents of Kparigu, assuring them that his government will help establish a watermelon processing factory in the district, which, will amongst others, help create jobs and bring prosperity to the district.

“I am not one to make promises I know I cannot keep, all in the name of getting votes. I have too much love and respect for Ghanaians to make promises which I cannot fulfill. I will never do that,” he reassured.

CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, BAD MESSAGE, BAD PRECEDENCE SONA 2021

Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu has slammed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for not telling Ghanaians the country’s current debt stock in his first State of the Nation’s Address (SoNA) of his second term delivered on Tuesday, 9 March 2021 before parliament.

President Akufo-Addo, while delivering the address, described his government as “good managers of the economy and we are good protectors of the public purse”, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reacting to the address, Mr Iddrisu wondered why the state of the country’s debt was left out of the President’s address.

The Minority leader said;

1. No mention was made on the total National Debt as was the case in 2017.

2. No mention was made of the controversial LGBTQ.

3. No clear cut blue print on how to combat Corruption and galamsey.

4. No mention was made on the Killing of innocent unarmed civilians by the police and military during the Dec 7th Elections and Collation.

5. No mention was made on the current Power outages and government plans to avert that.

6. No mention was made on the progress of investigations into the Murder of Ahmed Suale and the Media will be quite.

7. No mention on the condition of work (salaries) of workers in general because there hasn’t been salary adjustments this year January as happens every year maybe the budget will capture that.

8. No mention on the closure of Radio Stations

9. No mention of Daniel Yao Domelovo and his great exploits at the Auditor General Department and how he Akuffo Addo contributed to the sacking of the Auditor General.

10. No mention on the general state of insecurity especially when women cannot go and buy tomatoes from Burkina Faso again

Empty State of the Nation’s Address No Vision, No Hope. Sad day for Ghana an Democracy.

Akuffo Addo Closes LGBT Offices…

The office of Lesbians Gays Bisexuals Transgender Queer LGBTQ in Ghana located at Tesano has been ordered shut down by president Nana addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Dikoder.com reports.

A combined team of heavily armed police accompanied by also armed plain cloth National Security officials reportedly stormed the LGBTQ building and ordered all operations and activities ceased immediately with occupants to vacate premises.

The closure was confirmed by Moses Foh Amoaning who is the Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values.

Mr. Foh-Amoaning had earlier called on the government to close down the newly opened LGBT office in Tesano.

According to him, his coalition is made up of the Christian Council and the Catholic Bishops Conference, the Muslim community as well as the traditional rulers, making it a tripartite coalition fighting this LGBT agenda in Ghana which could turn its heat on Akufo-Addo should he fail to heed.

Giving the background of the LGBTQ movement, Lawyer Foh-Amoaning said that its formation started in New York City and extended to California and has since spread throughout the world now coming to Ghana.

This latest move will not be pleasing to the European Union which played a key role in the opening of the office. The EU in Ghana said it fully supports gay rights and called on Ghanaians to respect all human rights.
