Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, has called on opposition parties to support the good initiatives by President Nana Akufo-Addo and his government.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah urged the parties, particularly the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), to stop predicting doom for the government.
He urged detractors of the Nana Addo government to make constructive criticisms and help the government to achieve its objectives instead of praying for its downfall.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem because it is in the peace of Jerusalem that you’ll also find peace (quoting from Jeremiah 29:7", Hon. Oppong Nkrumah said, reminding the opposition parties that the failure of the government will have adverse effects on the entire nation with the parties not excluded.
“Let’s help him. Let’s support him. We should pray for him. Let’s support his government for its success will benefit all of us," he stated.
He further advised government appointees to remain focused on their tasks and effectively execute their duties.
“This is not a time for you to do something to disgrace His Excellency. This is not an opportunity to perpetrate violence or do something to bring disgrace to the government because you think you haven’t got something.”
Also commenting on the President's State of the Nation Address on Tuesday, PNC's former National Youth Organizer Abu Ramadan called on the parties to assist President Akufo-Addo in order to improve the economy.
He urged the nation to embrace the vision of the President, saying "it's a country we’re building and whoever lives in the country will benefit from the good governance, good policies and good initiatives of the government of the day. So, they should support the President…In the NDC era, for every position in government where they found it difficult to appoint people; in this government there are 10 or 12 people competent to fit in every position.”

i just remembered when the npp said they will make the country ungovernable for the mahama-led admin. all of a sudden we have a messiah in akuffo addo so we should support. such annoying posture. cheap politicians
What do you expect when you promise stuff that the economy at this stage cannot support.its not magic its ffing borrowing to look good.very soon am going to see the son Edward Akuffo-Addo with a begging bowl.The World definitely gone to the dogs surely. IMF is for beggars
Let's Stop Predicting Doom For Akufo-Addo's Govt . . . - Oppong Nkrumah Tells Opposition Parties..... did you ever stop predicting doom for Ghana when JDM was president ??? when you were at Multimedia.... did you actually qualify to lead the people of Ofoase Ayirebi ??? we know those who hail from that area who were supposed to be MPs.. Coming from a radio presenter turned politician ... well ...I ( section of Ghanaians) wish you and Nana I (and of course a section of Ghanaians) wish Akuffu-Addo a DOUBLE PORTION (x2) of all that you and him (Akufu Addo) wished for JDM during his term in office... I feel its fair... IF Ghana was and is a failed state, we beg you, FIX it... afterall you said the same to Pof. JEA Mills(May his gentle soul rest in peace) Ghana Ay3 D3d3333d3 T3 Se Milk and Hona... honi... honiii... honey....
Nana Addo's scriptwriters say Ghana is a failed state not the opposition. remove the BEAM first and see clearly
did you forget to take your mental drugs
Hahahahahaha kojo you are funny papa. ndc haven't retaliate by burning markets and cutting electricity cables creating darkness all over and you start crying like a baby left in the room. Hahahaha your akuffo addo would smell it papa. Every thing that you and your illiterates party supporters did to the previous government would be measured equally to you so get prepared. If you can tell Ghanaians that your party would make another party's government ungovernable what do you think for your self? just wait and see. This is the beginning.
I am shocked at the things am reading and i ask "was it not the same ppl that withdrew from anything the previous administration did and predicted doom for them even to the point when the good professor Mills finally gave up the ghost?" Where was Kojo then? You would hear him on radio back lashing the government so i think its just a matter of reaping what you sown in the past years. Currently there are more spectators in Ghana than ever in the history of the nation so the government should be ready to convince the ppl to get on board and help out. Kojo should tell his government that if they keep on down playing and blaming the previous administration all the time then they will have more ppl wishing them doom. They must credit ppl where its due and wake up to the call.
I don't even understand why Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is wasting his time to even talk. They said Nana Addo will never be president and he is now. So you think they wishing he will fail will matter. He who Jah bless... President Mahamah surrounded himself with babies with sharp teeth offering bad advise. Where was the experienced politician like Tony Aidoo? They can wish all they want, the truth is YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW ( all religions believe that)
We all know that national patapaa party (npp) is not a responsible party. It is a completely a lawless party. So l was surprised when akuffo addo hypocritically said 'npp is a party of rule of law'. Is it taking over public institutions by your miscreant and hooligan party members that is the rule of law? Or destruction of public property the rule of law? Is the self-acclaimed president akuffo addo's condoning and conniving with this irresponsible and dastardly act the rule of law? Or killing people you have defeated in an election that is the rule of law? Akuffo addo and kennedy agyapong are criminals. Akuffo addo illegally brought foreign terrorists to come and trained npp foot soldiers to do what they are doing now. They thought they would lose the election and cause mayhem but those trained criminals became disappointed and frustrated when President Mahama with his spirit of humility accepted defeat and therefore decided to test the potent of their concealed mischief on innocent Ghanaians to annihilate them. Patapaa akuffo addo should know that Ghanaians have rejected him 3 times because they knew he was voilent and irresponsible man but it's just because of the economic hardship and his consistent plead to Ghanaians to consider him the chance to be president that led to his emergence. Even as it stands now l can tell you that despite Mahama's defeat, Ghanaians still have sympathy for Mahama than you akuffo addo. You are just being put on probation by Ghanaians. Therefore you should know that Ghanaians are going to vote you out to your village now that you, akuffo addo and ken agyapong have started your drug addict behaviour which was the reason why Ghanaians rejected akuffo addo 3 times. In fact it has Confirmed and vindicated Ghanaians for rejecting you 3 times. And for that matter this will reinforce Ghanaians to be resolved to reject you the 4th time to avoid patapaa(akuffo addo) at 88 in the presidency.
Get ready for the spectators to dictate the airwaves. you were in this country when everything by Mahama was evil. Is it because he was a northerner, we now have a southern president so he needs support. wanton hypocrisy which will lead to your failing government with nothing to show in 50 days already.... lest i forget dollar is hitting 4.6. and that is "competence" the so called has nothing to offer.
