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.

asiedu nkate3[nkatia] ""OB3TWA NII"" YOU MUST GROW-UP
Lets pray this UNnnnnwwwwise oldman. He is somebody's grandfatheroooo. How can an oldman at his age say this if he is correct.You were in power for 8 years, the legacy you left was dooomsuu. Tell Ghanaians what you can do for Ghanaians and stop this UUUSSELESSS propaganda. When you were selling blocks for Bui you boasted without being ashamed that you supplied quality blocks.
I hope people remember one NDC tactic, Gizelle Yahzi and President Kufour? They have started again. Asiedu never mentioned any names of the supposed girlfriends. And I am not sure a girlfriend is a family member. Even though Asiedu and his NDC never introduced a single initiative during their time, he is criticizing somebody who has brought something up for people to think about. And within one year, he expects every initiated to be implemented to the fullest. I am pleading with fellow Ghanaians to be wary of these NDC doomsayers and their negative attitudes.
onukpa ***barred word***
ASIEDU GONGON......ENTI DI333N.
NDC and negative propaganda is so alarming and heart breaking. What is that general secretary talking about? At least, the NPP has introduced policies. What did you introduce as policies?
These see antic led you guys to Opposition and still haven't learned any lessons. Please check Kwesi Botheway's report.
HYPOCRISY AT IT'S BEST. COMMENTATORS SHOULD TRY NOT TO BE USED BECAUSE YOU WERE THE SAME PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT MAHAMA'S BROTHER AND ALL THAT.... GO AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF THE AMOUNT OF YOUTH HE KEEPS HELPING. IBRAHIM IS A BLESSING TO THE YOUTH AND A WHOLE LOT CAN TESTIFY TO THAT... AKUFFO ADDO IS JUST USING HIS MIND BUH WE WON'T BE SWAYED NO MORE. GHANA STAND UP
His ex girlfriend and so what, instead of you and your incompetenttt party (NDC) to give us different options to NPP programs and policies so that they can make best of choice , you hear talking about ex-girlfriend, why don’t you also talk about your ex-job which was palm wine tapping. Ghanaians want to see the NDC engage the NPP in terms of policies, programs and ideas , Asiedu Nketia and Koku are always talking about irrelevant things to Ghanaians, Ex girlfriends don’t put food on Ghanaians tables, improve our lives and develop the country, NDC must think, change their old system of politics, but with these people in place, am afraid NDC will always play second fiddle to the NPP , knowledge, policies and ideas.
This old lizard is just a foooòl !!
