Despite harsh criticism from members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and certain civil society organizations over what they regarded as non-performance and incompetence, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated he is the best Ghanaians may ever have.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), which had been in power for more than three decades, was criticized by the President for neglecting various regions of the nation when he made this statement.
While on a speaking tour of the Upper West and Savanna areas this week, Nana Akufo Addo expressed his curiosity over why the Yapei-Kusawgu District was still underdeveloped despite consistently supporting the opposition NDC.
“One of the things that surprise me and I have to confess, we have to speak the truth to each other; that Yapei – Kusawgu since 1992, I have known two people who have been Members of Parliament, the first one was my very good friend Amadu Seidu, when he left, the elder brother who is an excellent young man who is a minister for Natural Resources and MP for Damango, Abu Jinapor his elder brother John then took over the MP for Yapei – Kusawgu”, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo told Chiefs and people of Yapei – Kusawgu.
“What this tells me is that the 8 elections conducted in Ghana since 1992 have always gone to the National Democratic Congress and yet when I come here, I hear all of these demands. The young man who for a long time was Deputy Minister of power, 17 communities in his district still have not been connected to electricity grid”, he added.
Insisting that he is the greatest that Ghanaians can have, President Akufo-Addo assured the Chiefs and attendees of the event that he will pay attention to their cries.
“But Yagbonwura, you are lucky, you have me as the President of Ghana. I’m going to do it for you. In the same way, no secondary school, no Senior Technical School, in the whole of Kusawgu area, ahhh, eiiiiiii”, he wondered.
“Yagbonwura I’m not here in a campaign, but I think I have said enough for you and your people Kusawgu to think about your vote in 2024”, he added.
