President Akufo Addo
Deputy Minority Leader Emmanuel Armah Kofi-Buah has launched a scathing attack on the Akufo-Addo administration, citing its dismal record on the economy, debt, and unemployment.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament after President Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address, Kofi-Buah described the government’s performance as “abysmal” and accused it of reckless borrowing and mismanagement of state funds.
“The people of Ghana have already given their verdict on the true state of the country, and that verdict was very, very clear: economic hardship, huge debt, high youth unemployment, hopelessness, and more,” he said.
Kofi-Buah further criticized the president, saying, “Mr President, you will be remembered as the first president who was cushioned by the IMF when you began, and you are still being cushioned at the end of your term. You left something very important in your account – you left out an account of your promise to God to build a cathedral. But, Mr President, I will leave that between you and your God.”
He also mocked the outgoing president, saying, “Let me remind His Excellency that his tenure in office will remain a timely reminder of how not to govern a country.”
In contrast, Kofi-Buah expressed confidence in the incoming leadership of President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, assuring Ghanaians that “hope is on the way” and promising a brighter future for the country.
“But let me also be quick to assure the good people of Ghana that hope is on its way. With President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, we can once again have a brighter future, emerging from this glare of despair,” he concluded.
