NDC created an 'economic mess' but want Ghanaians to trust them today - Nana Addo jabs

President Nana Akufo-Addo Dankwa says Ghanaians want a progressive leader, and not one who will lead the country back into days of economic mismanagement, and  'dumsor'.

Speaking at Krobo Odumase on Monday, 23rd November 2020, as part of his 2-day tour of the Eastern Region, President Akufo-Addo suggested that the opposition NDC had an abysmal track record in manning the affairs of the country.

The president opined that, the erstwhile Mahama led government led the country into an economic recession, yet are touting themselves as trustworthy.

“Political leaders who created an economic mess, with the worst statistics of modern times, are telling us today that they are leader we can trust? Trust, to do what? To take our economy back into dumsor?” To take our economy back into recession? To take our economy back into hyper-inflation?”

“Is that what we need? Is that the leadership of the country that we need?” the President asked, to which massive crowd at Odumase retorted “No.”

According to the President, Ghanaians “are looking for different leadership. We are looking for leadership that is going to bring progress and prosperity to Ghana, and not backwardness and false claims.”

To the gathering at the venue for the interaction, President recounted several of the policies implemented by his Government over the last four (4) years, which include Free SHS, Planting for Food and Jobs, 1-District-1-Factory, 1-Village-1-Dam, amongst others.

“If the work is satisfactory, if you find the work has been satisfactory, what I am asking you, Mahya Krobo, to do is to give me the opportunity to do my work, and give me four more years for Nana,” he added.

His period in office, President Akufo-Addo reiterated, has also dismantled the propaganda of the National Democratic Congress that the NPP has a negative agenda against Krobos.
