What’s Akufo-Addo’s legacy that Mahama will destroy? – NDC queries
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has raised questions about the legacy of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's administration, asserting that his tenure has failed to produce significant standalone achievements.
The party contends that projects highlighted by the president as his legacy are predominantly initiatives started by former President John Dramani Mahama while in office.
Mr Godwin Ako Gunn, Deputy National Communications Officer of the NDC, challenged assertions made by President Nana Akufo-Addo during his recent campaign in the Eastern Region, urging Ghanaians to vote for Dr Bawumia to protect his legacy.
"What is Nana Akufo-Addo's legacy to be destroyed by former President John Dramani when voted for in the 2024 general elections," he queried.
"Is it the toilet projects on the government tracker or what?" he stressed.
Mr Gunn questioned the rationale behind protecting a legacy that, according to the NDC, largely comprises projects initiated by the previous administration.
Speaking on Accra 100.5 FM's Ghana Yensom morning show hosted by Otafrigya Kaayire Kwesi Apea-Apreku, Mr Gunn emphasised that voting for former President Mahama would not destroy any legacy, as claimed by the president, but rather maintain continuity in ongoing projects.
Mr Gunn pointed to the NPP's project tracker, which documented various initiatives started under Mahama's administration and continued under the current government.
He highlighted the prevalence of projects initiated by the previous administration in the government's project tracker, suggesting that President Nana Addo's administration lacked standalone achievements.
Mr Gunn further criticised the inclusion of projects by non-governmental organisations and faith-based organisations in the government's portfolio, implying a lack of original initiatives.
The Deputy National Communication Officer of the NDC contended that President Nana Addo's administration failed to establish a distinct legacy, apart from what he termed "toilet projects".
Mr Gunn derided the prominence of such projects in the government's tracker, suggesting that they do not adequately represent the legacy of a sitting president.
Mr Gunn dismissed claims of a substantial legacy during President Nana Akufo-Addo's tenure, arguing that his administration primarily relied on the continuation of projects initiated by his predecessor.
He emphasised the importance of discerning genuine achievements from inherited projects and criticised the administration's focus on what he deemed insignificant endeavours
