Founding President of IMANI-Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has lost his cool over a recent comment by former President Akufo-Addo to the effect that, the current John Mahama administration, is not performing.
Days ago, the former president at an New Patriotic Party (NPP) event, lamented how the John Mahama administration has given Ghanaians a raw deal.
According to Akufo-Addo, his government joined with that of former President John Kufuor, performed better and that by 2028, the electorates will come to the realization and vote the NPP back into power.
“The work the NPP governments during my period and that of President Kufuor we should not forget, they were enormous it is that legacy we are going to ride on to reclaim political power in 2028. You are witnessing what is happening under this government. Things are bad. So, after electing our leader and we unit, rally behind him, and we tell Ghanaians the truth in 2028, by God’s grace we shall win.” , he told a gathering of NPP supporters in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
But in the view of the IMANI boss, the former President got it all wrong comparing what happened under his watch and what is being witnessed now.
Cudjoe, expressed shock at the sheer audacity and attempts by Akufo-Addo even compare his “ugly government” to his successor.
He was amazed that at the time his vice president, Dr Mahamdu Bawumia, is begging Ghanaians to forgive their misgovernance, the former president, who the buck stops with, is giving a totally different account.
“WT Yesu!!!! Lord have mercy!!! Anokwa!! Compared to where your legendary destructive economic and very very ugly governance you left us, for which your own Vice-President just admitted and begged for forgiveness? You should be wearing sack cloths and walking every week from your village to the fraudulent Cathedral site pond to baptize against all you did against us. Don’t remind us okay? You must be on some high grade”, he said with a laughing emoji.
Cudjoe has been a fierce critic of the Akufo-Addo administration speaking strongly against among others, it handling of the economic crises, and the exclusion of the people of SALL in the Oti Region in the 2020 parliamentary election.
He had complained about the two, after he and many others, were given weird “hair cut” in the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).
