The Member of Parliament for Effiduase/Asokore constituency in the Ashanti Region, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie says the brouhaha surrounding President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s recent travels should be ceased.
According to him, if the president’s move around does not benefit the country – “I don’t think the president will just wake up in the morning and call his pilot that I want to travel around with state officials. Who does that?”
President Nana Addo has come under heavy criticisms from the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] that he travels “too much” after barely six months in office.
Recently, the minority in parliament recenlty raised a concern of the president constantly travelling outside the country without notifying them.
But Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie on Adom FM noted that the concerns are totally ‘needless’ since there are more benefits from the president’s travels.
He argued that, former President John Dramani Mahama during his tenure travelled more than any other president in history – “and it was for a purpose despite the name callings.”
“Why must we criticize a working president because he is travelling?” he questioned.

Criticism is not all that bad because it can help keep representatives in check.
I BELIEVE THIS DR AYEW GUY MIGRATED FROM THE MOON. IS NANA ADDO THE ONLY PRESIDENT WHO HAD BEEN CRITICIZED FOR TRAVELING ABROAD A LOT? WHAT DID THE NPP SAY ABOUT PROF MILLS AND JDM. AND SAME WENT TO PRESIDENT KUFFOUR WHEN NDC ALSO CRITICIZED HIM FOR TRAVELING A LOT? MY FRIEND , IF YOU WANT HEARD COME OUT PROPERLY AND THIS KINDERGARTEN ASSERTION. CHEAP TALK I BEG.
Incompetent opposition NDC.
It is only the bitter losers that will lament this way on the Prez. working visits. So far I heard the G20 or EU have given us 100 Million Euros do you people think that, if it was not that working hard president we would have gotten that monies from the EU ?? Let us get serious.
It is only losers that will make bad comments about the a working visits of the incorruptible, working president Nana Addo. Nana toasoo saaaa
No one has any problem with that. We just think he is doing too much
What the president is doing that he is on a medical check up but is feigning that he is on a working travels. Like buhari, he needs medical attention, and is hiding from Ghanaians.
Oh so NPP fears criticism wow, first they said they hate the word incompetent now everybody should keep quite because Addo who promise to protect the public purse has now turn to a WORLD TAVELLER. Hahahaha eba nna eyor. You were so so loud and noisy forming all sorts of pressure groups and militant mercenaries all in the name of opposition. God please come quick before they start killing critics of the sleeping an junketing President Ndadaa Akronfo Addo
