A National Democratic Congress flagbearer aspirant, Alban Bagbin, has taken a swipe at President Akufo-Addo over what he believes is a demonstration of ineffective leadership in governance.
Bagbin, who is also the Member of Parliament for Nadowli-Kaleo constituency said he is surprised at the administrative style of Akufo-Addo particularly his appointment of 110 ministers and deputy ministers, despite criticizing the previous government heavily for appointing 84 ministers and deputy ministers.“I don’t think that this is the Nana Addo I knew that he could ever think of appointing 110 ministers and deputy ministers after criticizing 84 ministers and deputy ministers that it was on the high side,” he said.
Providing his assessment of President Akufo-Addo’s performance as president over the past 18 months, Bagbin, who serves as the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament said Akufo-Addo has lost grip over his appointees.
“But I will say again, I think he has been torpedoed and pushed to do that and that it looks like he is losing grips over his people. He is not in firm control actually. I don’t think he is in firm control,” he said.
Alban Bagbin however said Akufo-Addo should be given more time to ‘redeem himself’.
He said Akufo-Addo had failed to deliver on his campaign promises, describing government’s flagship programme, Free Senior High School (SHS) as a disaster.
“In spite of the mistakes that his government is making and sometimes the surprises that he is giving to Ghanaians because they are not practicing what they preach, we should give him time,” he said.

@Bagbin & Kofi. If Nana Addo was in control, Bagbin might have been in prison by now for fake Ambulances he ordered when he was Health minister. What about double salary that Bagbin took all those years. Time will tell.
How could he be? Which competent govt. will appoint David Asante as the MD for Ghana Publishing Company Limited!? We are jokers! What is pedigree? Just because he is a member of the NPP? That's sad. What experience does he have in publishing and printing? He is just there and messing things up. He is only killing the coffers of the company. So, Mr President, you could settle on any of the lecturers of publishing or experienced publishers in Ghana? But David Asante? Awww! What a sad country we find ourselves in!
Bagbin should wait until he is made to cough out the DOUBLE SALARY he has collected for many years, then he will know that the president is in control. All these characters are aspiring to lead Ghana. DISGUSTING!
YOU SEE, BECAUSE OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION, HE HAS STARTED TO DESCEND INTO THE GABBAGE BIN JUST AS HIS FRIENDS IN THE DISGRACED NDC. HE WILL LIVE TO REGRET
You complained about Mahama the same way. I think you should concentrate on how to win your party's presidential candidature before you come to Akufo-Addo. Mahama should be your target presently. Or you are afraid of him? I think you are putting the cart before the horse.
NDC moles are in control... we will fish them out and sack all of them....
NANA AKUFO ADDO IS NOT AN ACHIEVER. DON'T BLAME HIM FOR HIS INEFFICIENCIES AND DEFICIENCIES.
