The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed concerns regarding the legacy of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, claiming that there have been no noteworthy stand-alone accomplishments during his term.
The party argues that the projects the president has emphasised as part of his legacy are primarily ones that former President John Dramani Mahama initiated while in government.
In order to preserve President Nana Akufo-Addo’s legacy, Dr. Bawumia should be elected by Ghanaians, according to Mr. Godwin Ako Gunn, Deputy National Communications Officer of the NDC, who refuted statements made by the former president during his most recent campaign in the Eastern Region.
When voted for in the general elections of 2024, he asked, “What is Nana Akufo-Addo’s legacy to be destroyed by former President John Dramani?”
“Is it the toilet projects on the government tracker or what?” he stressed.
Mr Gunn questioned the rationale behind protecting a legacy that, according to the NDC, largely comprises projects initiated by the previous administration.
Speaking on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ghana Yensom morning show hosted by Otafrigya Kaayire Kwesi Apea-Apreku, Mr Gunn emphasised that voting for former President Mahama would not destroy any legacy, as claimed by the president, but rather maintain continuity in ongoing projects.
Mr. Gunn referred the audience to the NPP’s project tracker, which listed the numerous projects that were initiated during Mahama’s presidency and are still ongoing under the current administration.
He implied that President Nana Addo’s administration lacked stand-alone accomplishments by pointing out how many projects in the government’s project tracker were started by the previous administration.
Mr Gunn further criticised the inclusion of projects by non-governmental organisations and faith-based organisations in the government’s portfolio, implying a lack of original initiatives.
The Deputy National Communication Officer of the NDC contended that President Nana Addo’s administration failed to establish a distinct legacy, apart from what he termed “toilet projects”.
Mr. Gunn mocked the prominence of these projects in the government tracker, implying that they do not truly capture the essence of a president’s legacy.
Mr Gunn dismissed claims of a substantial legacy during President Nana Akufo-Addo’s tenure, arguing that his administration primarily relied on the continuation of projects initiated by his predecessor.
He emphasised the importance of discerning genuine achievements from inherited projects and criticised the administration’s focus on what he deemed insignificant endeavours
