A member of the Communications team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chris Dugan, has asserted that President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo and his appointees are gradually dragging Ghana into the abyss.
He said the poor economic management of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) testifies to where exactly the country is heading.
Mr. Dugan described President Akufo-Addo as a “mediocre” leader whose lack of ideas, his “mediocre” appointees have tapped into, is creating a “total mess” for the country.
“As we sit here and you own a dollar which is equivalent to GHC10; is that not a mess? As we sit here. Parliament approved a loan worth 750million dollars but the bank that stood in as a mediator to ensure the money is secured, runs away; is that not a mess?
“Me?, I don’t know where you lived but if you are coming from the direction of Nsawam to Kwame Circle and there’s an increment in the fare, and you get to Accra and want to buy from a shop where the price of an item you asked is GHC2 but decided to go and return only to be told it is no more GHC2 but GHC3; is that not mess? If this is not a mess, what is it?”
In his view, what is going on has gotten out of hand for the NPP government because they have ran out of ideas for solving the mess they have already created.
“And this mediocre President and his mediocre appointees have no solutions, they have ran out of ideas unless we change them. So it was a good call former President John Mahama made to the sitting president to do a reshuffle but some of us [Mr. Mahama followers] knew Akufo-Addo was not going to listen because after all he doesn’t have [replacements].
“The President has taken his appointees like ‘work and pay’ people, it is like ‘work and pay’ so he can’t change them,” Chris Dugan said while speaking on the Anopa Bofo morning show, on Angel 102.9FM and Angel TV on Wednesday, August 24, 2022.
He reiterated that the president’s abysmal performance is nothing to write home about because, he had succeeded in turning deaf ear to advice upon several calls to reshuffle his ministers.
“If you have a president who comes to tell us that the abysmal performance of his appointees that we have all seen clearly, are performing well, then you should know where we are heading to, we are already in an abyss,” he added.
