Musician/Comedian A Plus has come to the defence of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP government over the Ghc 20m Ghana @ 60 celebrations which has Ghanaians pretty unhappy.
A Plus, in a post on social media, argues that in light of the excesses of the previous administration, those NDC supporters crying foul are simply being hypocritical.
He lists previous excesses perpetrated by the former NPP government and the NDC, to thus somewhat justify this excess.
He wrote:
Waaaay back in 2007, ten years ago, we spent over 70 million dollars on Ghana at 50. Today his excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has budgeted, not spent oooo, budgeted 4.5 million dollars, Less than what the NDC spent on flying supporters to the world cup in Brazil. Less than what the Ghana football association present for the just ended Afcon where they won Obaapa tin tomatoes. He even stated that the commitee is looking for sponsorship from corporate Ghana. Which means that the money is not coming from the taxpayer. The money will come from companies who want to sponsor. Before we are told what this sponsorship money (if it actually comes) will be used for and whether it will benefit the country or not, our “chobo brigade,” aka Wonkyɛndi United who can spend 14 million dollars on a vice president’s house are complaining. What is wrong with these people koraa? Bɔi….

Pathetic. We do not have to blindly support issues because it is your government, Note the GH @50 was another NPP Government for which all kinds of issues came up. Note, the rhetorical position and sayings of the NPP is what is leading to questions. You are beginning to sound as for us we are saints so whatever we do is fine but even if the NDC did same it is wrong. It will be good to be objective in our responses if Ghana is to go forward. A Plus to you My advice to NDC do not be in a hurry to respond to any issues focus on constructive opposition and praise where it is due but criticise where there are excesses. I am happy the ex President commended the potential appointment of the Special Prosecutor during his interactions with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance and also invited them to come do business in Ghana, That is statemanship looking at the wider picture of the country. All the noise on cars, NDC should keep quiet, the police should be left to do a professional job without any interference and the whole truth will come out
Which I'm certain the corporate bodies will be more than happy to oblige,taking into account the 500,000 gift Nana rejected, we give thanks to God for Nana Addo's life and all the good people around him, and also the masses who will benefit from Ghana going forward (Joel 2:28) God bless us all
This write up won't make sense to ndc fanatics because to them,celebrating Ghana is not their priority but hoarding governments cars and spending money on Brazil is good. God will punish them for their evil thoughts.
Its strange how you can defend anything this government does.I am sure you will be featured on the anniversary bill, calmly waiting for your cut abi? You came out with Aben be bom scripting in lyrics, all the things in your opinion was wrong with the former governments spending's, here you are justifying 20 million dollars. I thought you said our economy was not doing well? how can the private sector then, be in the position to support the government? A PLUS come again. Ghana must work again!
I HONESTLY DECIDED TO READ HIS POST WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICE, BUT GENUINELY SPEAKING, HE DID NOT MAKE A SINGLE SENSE TO ME, HE SAID NOTHING LOGICAL AND REASONABLE. WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME AND SPACE. GOOD DAY
Granted that the money for the celebration wont come from the govt but the private sector or sponsors so to speak; are are not sick in our head to organise 20million to spend in a day whiles common health care for at hospitals is a fiasco. aaaabah! Is by force to celebrate your sixtieth birth day if you do not have the means. What is the motivation to squander that money in music,drink, dance and common matching only to finish and come back to zero. So anyone sees nothing wrong with the sponsors concept since it will eat back as recipe for corruption within a matter of time when these same sponsors will go to govt for favours. Lastly, if the private companies could raise this kind of money internally, then why suffer as a country or its a matter of misplaced priorities. There is God oooooooooooooo
When fame misses its road and makes people like you to be given attention to talk like an illiterate that you are. Do you make sense to yourself when you talk? Does it mean because someone did it n it was wrong it makes sense when you do it? Ch1ldish talk
Aplus, i was very furious at first when i heard abt the 20m thing but i am slightly convinced abt ur write up.
No comment hahaha
Though he is sometimes vulgar, I think this guy is able to put across his opinion strongly and convincingly than most of the NPP communicators.
