Government has chastised the flagbearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo Addo, who many a Ghanaian see as the agent of change needed to liberate  Ghana as a man who only talks but refuses to offer alternative solutions to what he defines as the problem the bedeviling the nation.

The government communicators, immediately after the “Real State of the Nation” address by Nana Akufo Addo took to social media to criticize the NPP flagearer for not proffering solutions but joining the bandwagon who only criticize.

Flagstaff sources told this paper that “government get worried when those who are supposed to know better talk like serial callers and refuse to give any alternatives. This is a man that wants to be given the chance to rule Ghana but even now in opposition, you can’t the people hope on what the future holds for them except to say that Ghana, under an Akufo Addo government will be back on its feet. The question is, is the country limping? No, because, the evidence is there for all to see”.

For instance, NDC communicators in the Votlta region said the NPP misled the public about their projects, and that “after a quick cross check at the Department of Urban Roads indicated the following: Hohoe Traffic Light to market road:  Completed in 2015, Hohoe Hospital Road:  Awarded in 2015 and is under construction, Hohoe Post Office to Obama Junction and through to Education: Completed in 2012, Hohoe to Kitikpa road: Awarded in 2005 and completed in 2010, Hohoe EP Secondary road:  Awarded in 2005 and completed in 2010”.

More so, Kofi Adams in an earlier interview with Citi News sought to discredit the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) “Real State of the Nation” address which rubbished the achievements of the NDC government.

The NDC Organizer maintained that government is on track with such interventions.

“Even the school feeding that the NPP wanted us to credit them for bringing, did have situations where rotten tomatoes and food were being fed the kids, does that mean that because of that the intervention was a total failure? No,” he said.

Kofi Adams explained that “positive programmes initiated by governments once they are run by human beings, may encounter such challenges, but when a responsible government is in place, it will override such challenges and move on to success.”

“…That is what measures how good a government is. And like this government, there have been interventions that it has introduced, it has suffered challenges, it has been able to rewrite them and you can see that the projects and programmes are on a very positive pedestal to higher heights,” he added.

Nana Akufo Addo, during the address on Monday among other things, downplayed the NDC’s social intervention programmes including the administration’s approach to the Free SHS policy.
