Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that it would be in the best interests of Ghanaians for President Nana Akufo-Addo to resign if he is unable to lead theaaffairs of the country.
According to him, the country has experienced harsh economic conditions, lawlessness, grand scheme corruption, and untold hardship under President Akufo-Addo’s leadership, so there is nothing to show.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe spoke at a press conference organized by ex-military officers on the topic “The State of Ghana Today,” highlighting the disturbing occurrences of perceived corruption among political figures, their unexplained accumulation of wealth, tribalism, nepotism, and a narrow focus on self-interest, particularly within the current administration of President Akufo-Addo.
“In the old age of ours, We don’t sleep soundly at night. Ghana has been riddled with perceived corruption of political public office holders amassing unexplained wealth, tribalism, nepotism, and parochialism in their interests, especially under this regime under President Akufo-Addo.
“How do ministers hoard stashes of cash in foreign and local currencies in their homes, acquire properties in prime areas of Accra and other parts of the country, drive the most luxurious cars, live extravagantly, and expect our youth, who remain largely without meaningful employment, to be satisfied?”
“These are critical warning signs that are going to destroy the security of the state. We need to pay critical attention to this. The Akufo-Addo I knew and had numerous dialogues and demonstrations with is not the Akufo-Addo who is now president.
“If you can’t do the work, resign. Just resign and go away,” Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe insisted.
