General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of reducing the presidency to a family and friends affair to the extent of appointing ex-girlfriends to high positions.
Speaking on 3FM’s Sunrise show, Johnson Asiedu Nketia cited a Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana to sort of buttress his claims.
“There is a current Deputy Governor of Bank of Ghana, that fair lady, ask her history with Nana Addo, that is his ex-girlfriend. This is a fact, put the blame on me, and let people sue me for telling them this,” the NDC General Secretary alleged.
Asiedu Nketia insisted that a substantial number of President Akufo-Addo’s appointees are members of his family.
“We have one-third of Akufo-Addo’s family being government appointees. A woman was made ambassador because her major qualification is having a child with Nana Addo. This is a fact,” Asiedu Nketiah claimed.
According to the NDC General Secretary, President Akufo-Addo has resorted to doing the very thing he accused the Mahama-led administration of doing when the NPP was in opposition.
“They talked about nepotism, cronyism and so on. They said Mahama was appointing too many of his family members in government and they thought that everything there in terms of contracts and others were monopolized by people close to him.”
Asiedu Nketia further stated that the NPP government keeps shooting itself in the foot, which is evident in decisions being made by government.
“If you are in government and you want to compromise the neutrality of the institutions that are supposed to restrain your government by putting your favourite people there, in the end, you will be misled into thinking that you are helping yourself because you are rather damaging yourself and that is what is happening now.”
The NDC General Secretary accused the NPP government of pretending to fight corruption when all it does is to compromise institutions that fight crime.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah claimed although the NPP government has initiated some good policies, it has performed poorly in implementing them.
“They chose free education and then implemented it wrongly, they chose a policy of protecting the environment and implemented it wrongly, and they chose Fulani fight and implemented it wrongly.’
He further stated that the drive for a Ghana beyond aid will not see the light of day if government continues to borrow.

A general secretary of a party paa nie kai i blame the media for all the problem we face in this country. we give airtime for people like this whiles we leave developmental issues in the country
Is this man normal at all. I sometimes pity NDC for picking people like Asiedu Nketiah and Koku Ayidoho tother with kofi portophy and kofi adams to lead them. No wonder they lost miserably. All these persons have mental problems. From their utterances you could clearly see that there is something wong with their mental faculty especially kofi adams, koku ayidoho and asiedu nketiah. There was a time my 5 year old boy ask me whether these people are not suffering from a particular mental sickness which needs professional examination. I ask him why and he told me that some of the utterances are shallow and that he as a 5 year old boy will not make such an utterance. Infact I was shocked. If a boy of 5 has such thoughts about Asiedu Nketiah and Co them God save Ghana.
What does his ex job got to do with anything, its very important to have a strong opposition in any system. Go look at the true meaning of that word. its important they hold the rulling government feet to fire, it seems like sometimes supporters of either party takes it personal when the other side critisizes the other, if one takes emotions out of it and look at it from a practical stand point of view he has every right to call out the government if he sees it fit. Politicians everywhere rewards those who helped them get in power thus i dont think he is saying anything out of norm. Do i know if its factually true NO, looking at it from a stand point of reasoning alone do i think its true yes all politicians do that reward families
But is this news in Ghana haha? This are the same people said The incorruptible savior prez Nehemiah Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo CAN NEVER BE A PREZ OF THIS LAND but he is and doing far far better within 1.5 years than their 8 years so out of pain n JEALOUSY they will come out with all ssilly talks
