Former Deputy General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has asked the Akufo-Addo administration to partly admit its actions have led to the economic challenges Ghanaians are facing.
According to Nana Obiri Boahen, although the National Democratic Congress is not an option when it comes to the development of the nation, the governing New Patriotic Party under the leadership of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has to share the blame when it comes to the difficulties that the citizenry are going through.
He cited that he expected the railway network in Ghana to be effective after 7 years of President Akufo-Addo's reign but if the railway sector is still challenged, then the government cannot absolve itself.
"We have not lived up to expectation but don't compare the NDC to us. Because, in 2016, the expectation, the anxiety, the willingness of Ghanaians who trooped to the polling stations; we have indeed done well but we haven't met everything Ghanaians want," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show.
He further scolded the government for blaming almost everything on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia/Ukraine war and asked them to tell Ghanaians the truth.
"Please, you can't do that. You are dealing with Ghanaians; you are dealing with Ghanaians! When something doesn't go well, you say it," he admonished.
Nana Obiri Boahen however strongly believed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the right presidential material to improve the lives of Ghanaians, so pleaded with the NPP delegates to elect him as flagbearer of the party.

PETERS, YOU HAVE RIGHLY HIT THE NAIL, WE NEED HONEST OPINIONS LIKE THESE TO HELP OUR GREAT PARTY TO GROW. TRUTH MUST BE TOLD ALWAYS, THEN WE CAN MAKE AN AMENDS I HAVE REALLY ADMIRED OBIRIR BOAHENE TODAY FOR HIS CANDID SUBMISSIONS. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED AS A PARTY
If there is/was any single politician the people of Ghana had so much trust and confidence in, it was Akuffo Addo. Unfortunately, he has squandered a golden opportunity to have made history not only for himself but his immediate family. The Asantehene at a meeting with Akuffo Addo during the early days of his regime told him (Akuffo Addo), " at your age you don't need anything apart from a good name, use your position as the president to make history for yourself". No, the man heard the Asantehene alright but did not listen. Bet me John Mahama never thought of coming back to active politics. However, after his abysmal performance at the polls in 2016 having been in power for 8 years, he sat back at home and watched what was happening in the NPP government and said, if what i (John Mahama) is seeing is anything to go by, then i was a saint. This is what is motivating him (John Mahama) to want to come back, but for the P-one-nic errors of this government, John Mahama is definitely not the alternative. Am NPP but truth be told, Akuffo Addo has not lived up to expectation at all, at all. He has given a lot of "ammunition" to the NDC to fire in 2024, they may even be able to fire all before December 7, 2024
