A netizen has fired shots at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following remarks made by Dr Bryan Acheampong about the economy under Akufo-Addo.
Dr Bryan Acheampong has jabbed former Vice President and flagbearer for the NPP in the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to Dr Bryan Acheampong, former president Akufo-Addo told Ghanaians he was bringing on board Dr Bawumia to come and look after Ghana’s economy.
He cited that the dollar was given to Bawumia a 4 cedis, but when the NPP was leaving office in 2025, Bawumia had moved the dollar from 4 cedis to 17 cedis, blaming Ghana’s economic woes under Akufo-Addo on the former vice president.
Speaking to NPP delegates at Kwadaso, Dr Bryan Acheampong stated, “ Akufo-Addo told us that he was bringing a gentleman who would come and look after Ghana’s economy for him to bring peace to Ghanaians.
We took the dollar from 4 cedis, when they voted us out, the dollar was at 17 cedis. You were given a homematch: take the economy and run it and win elections for yourself, but you moved the dollar from GHS 4 to GHS 17. People were queuing up at the Ministry of Finance, pressuring the government for their money”.
He further added, “We were told fertiliser will rescue us, when we lost in Subin, do they grow maize over there that our votes should go down? In Kwadaso, how much maize is grown here? At the circle where we lost over 20,000 votes, do we grow maize there?
All of us here know the things that happened that we lost the elections, and we cannot repeat the same candidate because it will not work well for us”.
Reacting to Bryan Acheampong’s comment, the netizen noted that the NPP knew things were terrible, but kept defending because of party colours.
He wrote, “You’ll think it’s an opposition party saying this, but it’s their own people, hm.
So they knew things were terrible, but kept defending because of party colours. It’s sad. Have a great day”, he added.
In related news, a Ghanaian man in a viral video has said that the former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo must apologise to Ghanaians, not Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The man asserted that Dr Bawumia has begged Ghanaians, but they are not going to accept his apology, as the Ghanaian people need Akufo-Addo’s apology.
According to the man, Akufo-Addo promised the Ghanaians after taking e-levy that he was not going to the IMF, but ended up at the IMF.
He also cited the Domestic Dept Exchange Programme (DDEP) haircuts under Akufo-Addo and the $97 million spent on the National Cathedral hole.
The unidentified man also blamed Akufo-Addo for changing Ghana’s laws, which prohibited mining in forest reserves, as the cause of the galamsey menace in the country.
Speaking in a viral video, the man stated, “The former vice president, Dr Bawumia, has begged Ghanaians, but we are not going to accept his apology. We need the former president, Akufo-Addo himself, who was the one who told us that when Ghanaians pay e-levy, they were not going to the IMF.
However, he collected the e-levy and still took Ghana to the IMF, and he also changed the laws to mine in forest reserves, which has destroyed our water bodies and lands. After doing all that, he also gave us a haircut, with many Ghanaians dying as a result of the haircut”.
He further added, “He also used our money, of over $100 million, to dig a hole claiming he was building a Cathedral. When Ghanaians told him to change the finance minister, Akufo-Addo hit his chest and boldly backed him, so when he does hit his chest and begs Ghanaians, then the NPP should forget about coming back to power because Ghanaians are angry”.
