Anybody who defends Akufo Addo’s gov’t can defend the devil — NDC chairman

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NDC, Augustus Andrew Nana Akwasi says persons who support the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) can defend the devil.

He called Akufo-Addo the worst president Ghana has had since independence, adding that even NPP communicators can’t defend him.

“Anybody who can defend the government now can defend the devil,” Nana Akwasi said.

His remarks reflect deteriorating economic conditions. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says he has trust in God to change Ghana’s circumstances.

He vows to restore the economy’s strong growth rates from the three years before COVID-19.

“Above all, I continue to have an abiding faith in God to help turn the fortunes of our nation around, accompanied by appropriate policy, determination, and hard work on our part, and I urge all of you gathered here to have that same belief that the fortunes of Ghana under the Presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will be restored. The Battle is the Lord’s!!” he said.

He said the country’s economic problems aren’t hopeless. He vows to restore the economy’s strong growth rates from the three years before COVID-19.

“The Akufo-Addo government has not thrown its hands up in despair at this development. We are determined to bring relief to the Ghanaian people, and return the economy back to the high rates of growth that characterized the management of our economy in the three (3) years preceding the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020,” he said.

“Every policy initiative, whether it is the Free Senior High School policy, the programme for Planting for Food and Jobs, or the One-District-One-Factory initiative, has been implemented with the well-being of the Ghanaian at heart,” Nana Addo added.
