Member of Parliament (MP) for Odododiodioo, Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, has predicted Ghanaians will choose former President John Mahama in the upcoming December elections to erase what he terms the ‘horrifying’ legacy of President Akufo-Addo.
President Akufo-Addo, on Tuesday, May 7, cautioned Ghanaians against voting for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer in the upcoming December elections, fearing it might jeopardize the strides made during his tenure and threaten the nation’s trajectory.
Addressing supporters at a mini rally in Doboro, Greater Accra, after a visit to Blue Skies Limited, President Akufo-Addo endorsed Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the ideal presidential candidate.
However, in an interview on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda Amadu, MP Vanderpuye contended that Ghanaians are ready for change, suggesting President Akufo-Addo should apologize to disappointed citizens for leading the country into significant hardships.
Mr Vanderpuye further asserted that President Akufo-Addo’s tenure would be marked as the worst in the nation’s history, citing alleged corruption and economic decline.
“If I were Nana Addo, the best thing I would do as a person is to apologise to the millions of Ghanaians who voted for me and whom I have hugely disappointed. Nana Addo will go into history as the worst president ever in the fourth republic of this country.
“He is the most corrupt president in our history. He is the one who has collapsed our economy. Ghana’s economy today is worse than at any time in our history. Is that the legacy he is talking about? Of course, John Mahama will come and correct all.
“The youth of this country are looking for somebody who will come and change that legacy that he has left of joblessness, youth unemployment, hopelessness…So Ghanaians will vote for a change so that somebody will come to erase this horrifying and very disgraceful legacy from our history,” he stated.
