Former deputy Information and Education minister in the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama Administration and member of parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwah has said that Akufo Addo should be investigated by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and if possible put behind bars because he has said lots of lies to Ghanaians.
The MP made this statement on Monday, June 16th, 2020 during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) weekly press briefing on the topic: ‘NPP 2016 manifesto into perspective.’ The NDC is currently informing Ghanaians on the unfufilled promises made by the Akufo Addo led government.
In a presentation, the MP said:
“You see, Akufo Addo must be called by the IGP for some questioning and answers just like how National security called Bernard Mornah. He has lied, he continues to lie and he might be lying soon too.”
“He promised one student, one chocolate, Accra will be the cleanest city in Africa, providing bank account for every Ghanaian in this country? Has all these seen the light of the day? Too much lies from an old man. That’s uncalled for.”
The NDC also claimed that the NPP are reducing their promises because they have realized it is not achievable, but the NDC have all records of the promises.
Okudjeto continued: “Their total promises made is 631. Total promises the Vice president Dr. Bawumia alone made was 388. Smuggled promises by the Vice president was 8, deceptive promises were 8. In all they have been able to achieve only 235. We score them 14%,” the MP added.
The MP satarically said that these were what the NPP government had rather achieved.
1. Bringing back Teacher licensure exams
2. PDS scandal
3.The death of Ahmed Suale, and Investigative Journalist.
4. Double track in Free senior high schools
5. Galamsey
6. The loss of the Takoradi Girls
7. Ghana dropping on the press freedom index
8. Australia Visa scandal Among others
Okudzeto ended by saying that it was important the good people of Ghana, realized they were been taken back to hell and that their only rescue was to bring back former president and now presidential candidate of the NDC , John Dramani Mahama.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, later in the day in Meet the Press at the ministry of information also rubbished what the NDC had said and also presented facts on the achievement of government indicating more details of government’s achievements in the last three and half years could be seen or captured on delivery.gov.gh.
As elections approaches, we hope readers won’t put their votes in automatic mode. Vote wisely and for a government that you think will make this country better for all of us, not politicians who will educate their children abroad and scream they can give you the best, na lie!
