The Eastern Regional Secretariat for opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party have held a press conference entitled “Eastern Efie Nyɛ” Series to access the abysmal performance of Prez Akufo-Addo led NPP Gov’t getting to the 4yrs in office.
Addressing the press, the regional communication officer for NDC, Mr. William Darlas Ampomah said, the eastern region is the home of the sitting Prez who doubles as the Flagbearrer for New Patriotic Party (NPP). The expectations were that, the region will witness unprecedented development if no other region did.
“Unfortunately the situation the eastern region can be summarized as “home no good” ( Efie Nyɛ). Indeed we the people of the eastern region are disappointed in Nana Addo and his gov’t came to power on the basis of lofty promises, such as one village one dam, 1million dollars per constituency, putting money in our pockets among others all hoax” he noted.
“When they assure us that “yɛte sika so n’so ɛkom de yen” little did we know in less than 4yrs he was going to borrow over GH₵130bn used the money to seek the welfare of his close family members and friends to the neglect of the Eastern Region and Ghana as whole” he did explained.
We all know the monumental projects and programmes Prez John Mahama delivered in nationwide. He built hospitals, roads, port expansion, community day Senior High Schools etc when added a little over GH₵50bn to the national debt. So today we ask what has Prez Akufo-Addo used the GH₵130bn for?. Nana where is the money?. ( Nana sika no wɔ hen)?.
He further stated, specifically in today’s Eastern Efie Nnyɛ Series we seek to make 3 major observations.
- Nana Addo and NPP have woefully failed the eastern region, Efie Nnyɛ and has only delivered or partially delivered just a partly 14.28% that’s 3 out of 21 promises. The promises they made to the people of the eastern region prior to the 2016 elections.
- Even for the abysmal 14.28% of promises they delivered it deployment was discriminatory and selectively targeted to benefit a few in the eastern region because major part of the region have been neglected.
- On account of these we submit that Prez John Mahama has superior record of achievement in the eastern region. He distributed development equitably within in the eastern region not just for the few and can be trusted as not Nana Addo.
