The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has accused President John Dramani of being insensitive to the plight of Ghanaians.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, he wonders why the President should make claims that all is well in Ghana, in the midst of rising cost of living and high unemployment levels.
“The President claims all is moving on smoothly in Ghana, the reason why he is seeking a renewal of his mandate in office. President Mahama, clearly, does not feel your pain and suffering. He is impervious to the hardships Ghanaians are going through on a daily basis, in their efforts to make ends meet. I doubt he is living in Ghana with us, because if he was, he wouldn’t be making such comments,”
The NPP flagbearer made this known on Wednesday, October 19, 2016, in Kramoase, in the Atwima Kwanwoma constituency, at the beginning of his four-day tour of the Ashanti Region.
He urged Ghanaians not to lose hope as the NPP is coming into office to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians.
“We have an opportunity this year to rid our nation of the suffering and hardship the Ghanaian is going through under the leadership of President Mahama. When we vote in a competent government in December, I assure you that Ghana will be put on the path of progress and prosperity once again. That is the task before us in Ghana in this year’s election,” he said.
He added that the ‘1-District-1-Factory’ and ‘1-Village-1-Dam’ policies, the diversification of the country’s agriculture, the effective implementation of the Free SHS policy, the setting up of an Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), among others are some of the policies that will improve the lives of Ghanaians.
Nana Akufo-Addo told the party supporters gathered at Kramoase “to repose your confidence in me, believing that all I have just said to you, I am coming to implement them”. He continued: “What I am telling you is nothing but the truth. I have too much respect for Ghanaians to lie to them and say things I know I cannot do.”
