Akwasi Addai Odike, the founder and leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), does not believe that President Nana Akufo-Addo will keep his commitment to end galamsey.
Mr. Odike asserted that President Akufo-Addo has demonstrated his lack of effectiveness in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi TV’s Face-to-Face program.
“Do we call this man [Akufo-Addo] a president? He is not in charge. I saw Aisha Huang at the airport when she was about to be deported on TV. And now the President claims he is unsure whether the lady was deported. It tells us that the President is not in charge of the affairs of this country. The country is on autopilot. When you wake up, thank your God that you are alive because we do not have a leader.”
“Akufo-Addo coming out to support the Attorney-General for the prosecution of Aisha Huang means nothing. Let’s see how it unfolds. We are only going to have her back at the galamsey site. I can tell you on authority now that Aisha Huang is living comfortably. She is not in the grip of the police. She is at the BNI headquarters, living a very good life.”
“From all indications of his presidency so far, he is incompetent. The chiefs are no better, they are also accomplices to galamsey,” he added.
