NDC Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu, John Jinapor says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo is playing the role of a serial caller than a president in his style of communication.
Mr. Jinapor, who finds the president’s mode of communication as “unfortunate”, noted that “he [Nana Addo] must be advised to behave like a president”.
The former deputy Minister for Power in the Mahama-led government comment comes after the president responded to remarks from some National Democratic Congress MPs that his flagship free Senior High School policy will collapse in five years, saying it will be "sustained."
Former President John Mahama, who’s set to run for president again, has questioned the full implementation of the program when the constitution says it should be done progressively.
In addition, some NDC communicators and MPs have predicted the collapse of the program.
However, President Akufo-Addo on Saturday said "free SHS is here to stay," adding that the NDC has a record of scrapping pro-poor policies.
“I know, and I am sure I am not the only one who has heard, the people who are mounting political platforms, speaking on television and radio, and putting up posts on social media, hoping and praying for this policy to collapse,” he said at the 60th Anniversary Celebrations of the Kumasi Academy, in Kumasi.
He continued, “We know those who have a record for scrapping pro-poor policies – nursing and teacher trainees will bear testimony. I wish to assure them that Free SHS will be sustained, that Free SHS is here to stay. The overwhelming majority of Ghanaians support the choice that I have made in implementing Free SHS”.
Speaking on Neat FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’, Mr. John Jinapor said “The President is rushing with his policies. He should be diplomatic in his choice of words and comport himself as a president. He should talk like an elected president. He [President Nana Addo] should move away from his political campaign time and act like a president. The NDC has no intention of collapsing any policies”.

Its the ndc campaign trick of hit hard and turn round to complain when there is a response to their propaganda.The ex president should have known better.The majority of Ghanaians appreciate Free SHS. your propaganda will stay with your naysayers supportors. stop being childish
Jinapor, ***barred word***!!!.
NDC= Nothing Decent for the Country. The greatest weapon of the devil is fear. Fear has gripped the NDC, looking at the policies the NPP is rolling out. You had all the years at your disposal. What did we see? Answer Yourself John Jinapor.
Really John? Your former boss used to tell us that our criticisms of his administration was ***barred word***. Even then you considered him a president. Every Ghanaian is a witness to how badly you turned the NHIS into a "cash and carry" with all the huge arrears. We are witnesses to how you scrapped off the free maternal care. How the NDC took off the nursing and teacher trainee allowances. Nana Addo should have been the one to tell you these glorified twerps that your pessimistically motivated criticism is ***barred word*** if not ***barred word***. KWA..SIA..FO)
When will the special prosecutor start jailing these mammals? This December will be the last xmas for these mammals.they will rot in jail soon
So other presidents are free to talk anyhow but Nana Addo should not? What kind of n0ns&nse is this? You mount platforms a run down the man's policies, including calling some of them fraudulent (419), and that is fine, but when he responds, then that is inappropriate. Stuuuupppp11iidddd!
