You Are Jeopardizing NPP’s Chances In 2024 – Amoako Baah Tells Akuffo-Addo

A staunch member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, has condemned President Akufo-Addo for his recent utterances directed at the people of Kwabre East in the Ashanti Region.

The people of Kwabre East had threatened to vote out NPP in the 2024 elections because their roads were not fixed.

In response, President Akufo-Addo said he was not threatened by their calls to vote against the NPP.

“No problem. I am saying people make those kinds of threats; me, they don’t frighten me.”

“If you decide to vote for the NDC in the general election, it is your choice, and that is not my problem. No one will force you to vote for someone,” he stated in an interview in Kumasi on October 17.

But this has infuriated  Dr. Amoako Baah, who believes President Akufo-Addo should not have given that response.

According to him, President Akufo-Addo is exhibiting such a “reckless attitude” because he is not contesting for the 2024 election.

He said such utterances would ruin the chances of the NPP in the 2024 elections.

“This is not the first time the president has spoken this way, and it is precisely because he is not running for re-election…What he is doing is endangering the fortunes of the NPP in 2024 as if he has no stake in it, so he is saying anything. He said it several times; it is not good,” Dr Amoako Baah said on Joy News on October 17.

He stressed that before becoming a president, Akufo-Addo was calling for votes and for Ghanaians to try his governance, and “this same person is the one talking like this now; it is not appropriate.”

It would also be recalled that President Akufo-Addo, in October last year, asked the Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area to “complete” the abandoned E-block community day senior high school in the area himself if he is frustrated about the delay.
