Akufo-Addo is one of the best presidents ever in Ghana – Assafuah

Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah said that President Akufo-Addo has been one of the best presidents in Ghana.

He cited a number of initiatives including the soon-to-be-rolled-out free dialysis plan as one of the things to indicate that Mr Akufo-Addo is one of the best presidents.

“President Akufo-Addo has proven to be one of the presidents in Ghana, we have DRIP machines helping the various districts, this is a president who has made sure that from First December we are going to have Kidney dialysis for free,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, November 16.

He was reacting to a comment made by a Professor at the University of Ghana, Ransford Gyampo who had stated that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cannot do anything meaningful to change the lives of Ghanaians from now to December 7 when the elections are held.

In Prof Gyampo’s view, the Akufo-Addo administration has checked out of office after the two terms in office therefore, he will not spend energy criticising the government again.

Rather, he said, he would channel his energy into assessing the campaigns of the various presidential aspirants.

“I am not criticising the government again, the Akufo-Addo government has checked out, its ministers have chickened out in their minds,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, November 16

“I can’t continue to criticise a government that has checked out. If you are expecting Akufo-Addo to do anything then you don’t know what is happening so I will focus more on the campaign of Dr Bawumia, Mahama, Alan Kyerematen and the rest.  I am not expecting Akufo-Addo to do anything meaningful  from Now to December 7.”

He further criticised President Akufo-Addo for squandering the goodwill he enjoyed.
