A member of the communications team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Gabriella Tetteh, has slammed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the difficult economic conditions in the country.
According to Tetteh, the President has no vision of how to manage the country and only became President to fulfil a lifelong dream.
Gabriella, a younger sister of former Foreign Affairs Minister and Awutu Senya West Member of Parliament, Hannah Tetteh, espoused her views during an appearance on Gh Today on GhOne TV.
She said: “A gallon of diesel is now over Ghc 70. Have you seen how traffic has reduced all of a sudden? Everybody has measured their level, if you know you can’t pay Ghc 16 per litre for fuel anymore, you park your car and find other means of transport.
“All because you [Akufo-Addo] have no vision of how to manage this economy, and then you go and stand somewhere and say you didn’t tell people to vote for him. When he was doing the ‘so me hwe’ in 2012 all over the place, he’s now saying he never told people to vote for him. He has nothing to lose. All he wanted was the showmanship and to show that he too has been there. After that there is no legacy for him, nothing, even free SHS has become comatose, nothing under him works.” Tetteh bristled on the show.
She added that to arrest the economy, we have to address the import-export imbalance.
However, Tetteh scoffed at the NPP’s notion that they’re doing that by pointing to local companies like Ekumfi Juice.
“You come and tell me one district one factory, then you come and show me Ekumfi Juice. Ekumfi Juice is competing with Kalypo, another made-in-Ghana product. You want to transform this country from import-dependent, look for something that is going to compete with Don Simon and Ceres. They are the ones taking the dollars. Not Ekumfi Juice which is competing with Kalypo. We have the men, we have the men, it was rubbish, they have nothing,” Tetteh fired.
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo continues to insist that the NPP does indeed have the men and that they are the only party that can solve Ghana’s economic challenges.
