Alexander Akwasi Acquah, the Member of Parliament for Akim Oda, has labelled the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as a “April Fool government”.
According to the Akim Oda MP, the NDC government has failed to deliver on its promises made to Ghanaians during the campaign season in 2024.
Alexander Akwasi Acquah claimed that Ghanaians are going through hardship, so they have forgotten that today is April 1st, April Fool’s Day.
He added that nobody is playing pranks due to the hardships.
Speaking to UTV, Alexander Akwasi Acquah stated, “Today is April 1st, April Fool’s Day, yet nobody is playing pranks. People have forgotten the day because of the hardships this government has put Ghanaians through”.
“All the promises made to our teachers and nurses, and other major pledges, have not been fulfilled.
People are struggling, and the government has done nothing to ease their burden.”
“The mother of all April Fool jokes is the one this government has pulled on our cocoa farmers. It’s unacceptable,” he added.
Meanwhile, Senyo Hosi, a Finance and economic policy analyst, has said 2026 is the defining year for the ND led John Mahama government.
According to Senyo Hosi, the real state of the Mahama government will be evaluated after this year.
Senyo Hosi further told President John Dramani Mahama that his honeymoon period in government is over.
According to Senyo Hosi, the Mahama government must focus on substantive issues that affect our people, like production and employment for our youth.
He detailed that the Ghanaians will soon stop discussing the sins of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as they start to demand accountability from the Mahama government.
Senyo Hosi is quoted to have said, “People now are going to stop discussing what Nana Addo was like. People are now going to hold this government accountable for their own aspirations as human beings, as Ghanaians and their expectations of governance.
Real lives are at stake, and real questions will start being asked. Nana Addo is fast becoming history in people’s expectations and people’s problems about governance. People have accountability issues. Are you really delivering accountability beyond the press conferences and saying…Who has become accountable after over a whole year in office?
We were having conversations with the transport minister about the efficiency of procurement, about you still doing single sourcing. People are seeing these things and will start judging you on its own merit”.
He added, This is the defining year for John Mahama; the real state of his government will be evaluated after this year. Next year is campaign mode, and there will be a lot of disruption, but this is an indication that your honeymoon is over, so please get focused on the substantive issues that affect our people. Production, employment for our youth, we are looking clearly about accountability”.
