Akuffo Addo doesn't listen to former President Kuffuor. He has no regard for him. Mean while Akuffo Addo has no clue as to how to govern and lack leadership abilities. He's destroying Ghana and the NPP. Very wicked man together with his akyem group including their village chief. He obviously has nothing to show for all the loans and other monies he spent. Very disgraceful and shameful old man. We thought he had integrity. he simply doesn't care as he said in Kumasi that it makes no difference for him if npp or ndc wins. Wicked ***barred word*** old man foool. Now criminals like Akuley of Ghana First and more are confidently walking about freely because their equal and chief is in power.
Well said, however as the only NPP former president of Ghana we are surprised that with all your experience and international appeal the current NPP government is struggling both internally and externally unless they don't take your advice or you are sitting and watching. Currently all is not well with the NPP. The ordinary NPP supporter looks dejected, disappointed, neglected and forgotten. As to how come the vibrant and attractive NPP you left behind is becoming a pale shadow of itself is mind boggling. The fact remains that it was your pro poor policies the current NPP leadership used to win the 2016 elections . Mention can be made of the national health insurance program, school feeding program, metro mass transport, livelihood empowerment against poverty ( LEAP), micro finance and small loans centrer( MASLOC), free mass cocoa spraying exercise, free medical care for pregnant women, construction of 2 brand new stadia in Tamale and Sekondi, the millennium challenge account leading to the construction of the N1/ walker ***barred word*** highway, free uniform for basic school pupils in deprived communities, Ghana @ 50 jubilee parks in all regional capitals, percentage of district assemblies common fund set aside for people with disabilities , your ability to link up with world giants i.e. George ***barred word*** ( USA), Angela Merkel ( Germany), Tony Blair (Britain), Shinzo Abe ( Japan) , Queen Elizabeth ( UK), Jachque Chirac ( France) etc. Those in authority should get closer to former president kufour for tutorials if not the NPP will be suprised with the outcome of the 2024 elections. People who don't know and still will not ask are those who suffer. John Mahama can be said to be an orphan because there is no former NDC president currently alive for him to fall on for advice. Fortunately for the NPP they have a former president in kufour to fall on for advice, ignoring him on matters of national interest can be detrimental to the fortunes of the NPP. Hope those who have ears are listening. There should be a big difference between the one who's father is still alive and an orphan . Currently the orphan and the one with a parent are all the same. Infact the orphan looks more comfortable from the look of things. P
