Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the 2020 running mate of NDC flagbearer John Mahama, has criticized President Akufo-Addo for his remarks on the lack of development in Ekumfi, Central Region.
In a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Professor Opoku-Agyemang accused the president of a consistent pattern of attributing his failures to those who did not vote for him.
President Akufo-Addo stated that he excluded Ekumfi from national development initiatives because the constituents voted against the NPP’s parliamentary candidate, Ato Cudjoe, in the 2020 elections.
This revelation was made during a meeting with traditional leaders from Ekumfi at the Jubilee House, drawing widespread condemnation from the public and political analysts.
The opposition NDC has described the comments as unpresidential, and highlighting the vindictive nature of the president.
In her post, the former Education Minister urged Ghanaians to vote against the NPP in the upcoming December polls, emphasizing the need to prioritize local area developments.
Below is the full post by Professor Opoku-Agyemang
Mr. President, please do something, say something different before you go.
But come to think of it, our president has been consistent in blaming his failures and woes on those who he claims do not vote for him.
No one has forgotten his response to Torgbui Adzonu-Gaga Amenya Fiti V, the Paramount Chief from Aflao, about the need to complete one of our e-blocks to pre-empt unnecessary stress.
Many remember a similar reaction in response to the displaced and traumatized people of the flooded areas in the Volta Region.
He simply repeated same to the usurpers from Ekumfi as described by the family of our late President, who were granted audience on a matter that is clearly none of their business.
The paradox is very tangible; the people of the Ashanti Region constantly complaining of neglect. Does his party not gain the majority of their votes from the region? Maybe they don’t vote and in the consistency expressed, are deserving of his neglect.
