Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, has criticized President Akufo-Addo for statements that he believes are causing public anger and division.
Pratt’s criticism comes after Akufo-Addo’s comments at a campaign event for the NPP candidate in the Ejisu by-election. Akufo-Addo suggested that only NPP MPs could effectively push for development in their areas during his time in office.
Yet, Kwesi Pratt voiced his discontent, articulating:
“When I was coming this morning, I listened to my friend and brother, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and I am sad because if you do that, you are getting people angry.”
,“Nana Akufo-Addo went to Ejisu to campaign for the NPP candidate, and he was saying that he gives approval for all the roads in the country before they can be constructed. What does that mean? So, does that mean that in all the places where there are no good roads, he hasn’t given approval for the roads to be constructed? What a statement!”
“Besides that,he said he is an NPP president, and Nana Akufo-Addo is today telling us that he is an NPP president, so if you want development in your constituency, vote for an NPP person because an NPP member is the one who can go to the president to talk about development.”
“I am sad because I thought that as a president, he was leading us all, but he has become a president for a political party.”
