Veteran Ghanaian broadcaster King Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, better known by his stage name KKD, has voiced dissatisfaction with the manner in which President Akufo-Addo is leading Ghana and emphasized the need for him to reform.
The media sonsultant claims that now is the moment for Ghanaians to speak up against the NPP government’s awful policies and poor leadership, particularly given how badly the country’s economy is doing.
He claimed that Akufo-Addo made a lot of promises before the 2016 elections that led to the loss of the John Mahama government and appealed to the conscience of the electorates for their mandate to serve the country but has since broken his pledges.
Speaking on Mugabe Maase’s Inside Politics program on Power FM/TV XYZ, KKD referred to an interview Akufo-Addo, the then opposition leader, gave to Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM prior to the 2016 general elections in which he described the problems facing Ghana and proposed workable solutions that he has failed to address while in office.
The NPP presidential candidate then attacked the Mahama government in that interview and accused him and his appointees of being inept, citing unemployment and the growing cost of living in Ghana as the reasons he was seeking votes from Ghanaians to serve them.
“Even now, things are hard and it looks like there are no leaders in the country,” he said in Akan while charging Ghanaians to try him. “Today as we speak, some Ghanaians have relocated to Ivory Coast to find jobs and this is because jobs are scarce in our country.”
After watching the video clip which was aired on the programme, KKD said, “I don’t know whether our president at the time was speaking about how he had planned to govern us.”
He said the issues Akufo-Addo raised are prevalent under his watch as the president of the country, adding “they were lies.”
