Founder and Leader of #TheNewForce Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, has provided a nuanced perspective on President Akufo-Addo’s performance, attributing certain challenges to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview on Asempa FM, Cheddar contended that the current administration could have performed better but for the COVID-19 pandemic that struck in 2020, and the Russia-Ukraine war which affected Ghana’s economy.
“Looking at Akufo-Addo it’s not like we are saying the economy under his tenure is bad. But I also think he’s a president that’s really good at promotion. He’s really promoted Ghana but it’s just that certain things did not go well during his regime,” he said.
Cheddar further commended the government on its initiatives like ‘The Year of Return’ and ‘Beyond the Return’ which he said has helped in promoting the country.
“During his time, there was COVID, there was the lockdown, the wars but when you look at the Beyond the Return project, it brought the diaspora into the country. December is a good year for Ghana since the NPP came to power,” he stated.
