Akufo-Addo’s Government Misapplying Scarce Resources For Their Own Interest-Mahama

The Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken on the government for the current economic crisis Ghanaians are going through.

According to him, the Akufo-Addo lead New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has failed to address the pressing issues confronting the citizenry and accused President and his appointees of misapplying the limited resources for their parochial comfort and that of their cronies.

The former President in a Facebook live on Wednesday urged Ghanaians to vote against the NPP during the 2024 general elections.

“President Akufo-Addo and his administration have failed to address the pressing economic challenges they have exerted on the people of our country – misapplying our precious scarce resources and overspending on their comfort and largesse instead of building the critical infrastructure this country needs for job creation and development.”

He also added that the Akufo-Addo-led government has failed to fulfil its promises made to Ghanaians in the run up to the 2020 elections.

“Their promises during their campaigns are yet to be fulfilled, leaving the ordinary Ghanaian burdened with the consequences of their incompetence, cluelessness, and shameless arrogance.”

Meanwhile, Mr Mahama has admonished Ghanaians not to accept what he describes as unprecedented corruption under the current government as the norm.

According to him, the canker hinders the progress of the country and job opportunities for the unemployed Ghanaian youth.

“Today, some Ghanaians glorify and make excuses for corruption because the NPP has allowed it to permeate every facet of our society. This must never be accepted as the norm. It hinders progress on many fronts, denying our youth opportunities that should have come their way if state resources were meaningfully applied.”
