…Condemns President and Veep For Failed Promises
In a scathing critique aimed at President Akufo-Addo, Nana Atta Boamah, a founding father of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) based in the United States, has lambasted the Ghanaian leader for what he perceives as a failure to provide the necessary leadership to the people of Ghana.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 30th anniversary celebration of the NPP’s New Jersey chapter, Nana Atta Boamah expressed his disappointment with the current state of affairs in Ghana, holding the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government responsible for the perceived shortcomings. Boamah did not hold back in his criticism, citing the government’s alleged failure to deliver on its promises to the Ghanaian populace.
He warned Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to stay away from the upcoming 2024 election or risk facing rejection.
The founding father also took aim at President Akufo-Addo’s governance record, particularly highlighting what he described as a lack of accountability within the administration over the past seven and a half years.
Furthermore, Boamah criticized former senior minister Osafo Marfo and other party officials for what he saw as a hijacking of the NPP, urging them to step back and reflect on their actions.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with the dominance of the president’s ethnic group, the Akyems, within the government, Boamah emphasized that the NPP should not be controlled by any specific group.
Notably, Boamah’s remarks align with a growing chorus of senior NPP members who have openly criticized President Akufo-Addo’s governance style.
Kwaku Ansah Asare, a former Director of the Ghana School of Law and founding member of the party, recently voiced concerns over the president’s handling of national affairs, suggesting that calls for a constitutional review have intensified due to perceived shortcomings in leadership.
As dissent within the NPP ranks continues to surface, Nana Atta Boamah’s bold statements serve as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the party and the government as they navigate the road ahead.
In the midst of these criticisms, voices like Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe, who had cautioned voters prior to the 2016 elections about President Akufo-Addo’s suitability for office, now feel vindicated in their reservations.
