Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and the Member of Parliament(MP) for Suame Constituency, Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah- Bonsu says Ghanaians should not crucify President Akufo-Addo for comments he made concerning the bad nature of roads at Kwabre in the Ashanti region.
He says the president might have been taken out of context by some section of Ghanaians.
President Akufo-Addo in an interview with Kumasi based Otec FM said he is not threatened by calls for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to be voted out of office in the 2024 election.
He said such threats do not frighten him.
His comment was in response to a question posed by host of the programme regarding what he made of threats by the people of Kwabre against the NPP in the 2024 election due to poor road infrastructure in the area.
Reacting to the threats President Akufo-Addo replied, "no problem. I am saying people make those kinds of threats; me they don’t frighten me.”
But speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that the President in his answer to the questioned posed to him by the Journalist did not seek to disrespect residents of Kwabre or Ghanaians in general.
According to him the President wanted to make it clear that he has a duty and owe it a duty to Ghanaians to provide for them basic infrastructure and that if they had bad road network, he the President will ensure that the problem is attended to.
But some members of the Ghanaian public seem to take the President's response out of context and are cunningly trying to court some disaffection for him and the New Patriotic Party.
"I will, however, plead with Ghanaians not to crucify the President for the misrepresentation of his answer by a section of the Ghanaian public, but rather consider the actual meaning of the answer provided."
"The President and the New Patriotic Party for that matter cherish the concern and plight of Ghanaians in these economic hardships and that the President will do everything within his power to address these challenges," he added.

Kyei, what you are doing amounts to a mere window dressing. The man spoke in Twi/ English. If you think the people don't understand the English language what about their local dialect? In 2020 when akuffo Addo was campaigning for his second term, if the people of kwabre had complained about their road will Akuffo Addo give same cheeky response by saying they can vote for the NDC, that is their problem not his? Of kufour was speaking that way will the NPP be that attractive for Akuffo Addo to ride on to power? Akuffo Addo's action should tell you that he ***barred word*** about a future NPP after his exit.
Listen to another black face ***barred word*** speaking from the ***barred word***
