Prof Naana Opoku-Agyemang replies Pres.Akufo-Addo over Ekumfi comment

Former running-mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Prof.Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang taking a swipe at President Akufo-Addo for his comment about Ekumfi in the Central Region.

President Akufo-Addo addressing an issue of underdevelopment raised by some elders of Ekumfi during a visit, revealed that he deliberately unattended to the concerns of the people of Ekumfi because they voted against NPP’s Member of Parliament in 2020.

This comment has received sharp criticism from many Ghanaians including Prof.Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.

Responding to the President in a post on Facebook, she stated “Mr. President, please do something, say something different before you go.”

“But come to think of it, our president has been consistent in blaming his failures and woes on those who he claims do not vote for him.”

No one has forgotten his response to Torgbui Adzonu-Gaga Amenya Fiti V, the Paramount Chief from Aflao, about the need to complete one of our e-blocks to pre-empt unnecessary stress.

Many remember a similar reaction in a response to the displaced and traumatized people of the flooded areas in the Volta Region.

He simply repeated same to the usurpers from Ekumfi as described by the family of our late President, who were granted audience on a matter that is clearly none of their business.

The paradox is very tangible; the people of Ashanti Region constantly complaining of neglect.
Does his party not gain majority of their votes from the region? Maybe they don’t vote and in the consistency expressed, are deserving of his neglect.
This reaction makes one wonder where the “massive votes” actually come from.

Many of us await the response of our president to his ‘stronghold’. Maybe he will repeat his response to Torgbui Adzonu-Gaga Amenya Fiti V. Or to the good people of Kwabre, again. But, let’s wait.

Maybe we will hear a response different from the one he directed to the people of Kwabre that it’s none of his business if they vote for the NDC. I believe the good people from Kwabre have heard the president whose party they swear to have consistently voted for, loud and clear.

Indeed he went on to explain to the good people of Kwabre that he is not expected to hold their thumbs down the ballot papers.

The NDC welcomes the votes of all people in the country, regardless.

We are happy to collaborate with everyone who desires to restore our country onto itself by joining all our efforts in building the Ghana we all want, led by our experienced, respectful and humble, flag bearer, HE John Dramani Mahama, whose record speaks for itself.
