It would be a mistake to have Akufo-Addo as Ghana’s president – Kofi Adams

The country would be disadvantaged if Ghanaians
make a mistake to elect Nana Akufo-Addo as
president in the November polls, NDC National
Organiser Kofi Adams cautions.


His warning is rooted in his claims that the NPP
presidential candidate has disintegrated otherwise
a “formidable” party he inherited from former
President Kufuor.

“The party has clearly been disintegrated
through the action, initiative and direction of
Dr. Nana Akufo-Addo.

“The NPP today is a party everybody within it
fears to speak his mind knowing too well that the
anything that would be visited on him would either
be an acid bath, or killed in the night when he is
expected to be resting. That is the type of
leadership that he is offering,” he observed.

Kofi Adams was reacting to a statement by Nana
Akufo-Addo in France on Saturday that whilst some
neighbouring countries have made giant strides in
the last 5 years, Ghana, however, within the same
time frame, and under the leadership of President
Mahama, is going backwards.

“Cote d’Ivoire, five or six years ago was
coming from civil war. The election in 2010 led to
100,000 displaced people, 3,000 people were killed
as a result of the election between Laurent Gbagbo
and Alassane Ouattara. In five years, because of
good, strong leadership, Cote d’Ivoire is today
the number one investment destination in Africa.
They are growing at 9% a year and we are growing
at 3.9%. Last year, Cote d’Ivoire earned over
$12 billion in exports of its agricultural
products. In the same time, we earned $2
billion,” he said.

But Kofi Adams told TV3’s News@10, Sunday
evening that “Something really is wrong on the
side of Dr. Nana Akufo-Addo because every other
day he speaks, he gives credence that …this man
no longer knows what is happening in Ghana and
what is happening around him so he just get out
there, he is given information and he puts it out,
without checking.”

He maintained that President John Mahama has since
assumption into office been investing in various
sectors of the economy which he said would
culminate into a total development of the
country.

He said Akufo-Addo’s analogy “tells you
clearly that Ghana must not make a mistake of
having Nana Akufo-Addo the leader of this country
otherwise, we will be seriously disadvantaged.”

He further stated, “a country that has not
suffered war and has seen a certain consistent
growth would not have the same space to grow as
higher percentage like one that has suffered a
decline because of war, so there is opportunity to
invest in many other areas that were doing well
previously which has just gone in…France that he
was speaking at has not collapsed because its
growing at one percent or 1.5%. So you must ask
yourself nine percent over what?”
