President Akufo-Addo
Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has sharply criticized President Akufo-Addo’s governance approach, suggesting that an apology to Ghanaians might be necessary due to perceived failures in addressing people’s needs, leading to widespread suffering.
Vanderpuye’s remarks came in response to President Akufo-Addo’s call for Ghanaians to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer in the upcoming December elections, arguing that such a decision would endanger progress made under his leadership.
In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Vanderpuye expressed his belief that history would remember President Akufo-Addo’s tenure as disappointing, potentially labeling him as the worst president in the country’s history.
He suggested that President Akufo-Addo consider apologizing to the millions who voted for him and feel let down. Vanderpuye accused the president of presiding over economic collapse and asserted that Ghana’s current economic state is the worst in its history.
The criticism reflects broader dissatisfaction with the administration’s performance, particularly regarding economic challenges and alleged corruption. It contrasts sharply with President Akufo-Addo’s plea for continued support, highlighting the political divide ahead of the elections.
As political discourse intensifies, such exchanges underscore the importance of public accountability and the electorate’s role in shaping Ghana’s future.
