Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko
Founding member of political think tank, Danquah Institute, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has admitted that there is stifling hardship in the country.
He, however, said that the country is heading in the right direction under the stewardship of President Akufo-Addo.
Otchere-Darko contends that Nana Addo is putting measures in place that will elevate the country from its current difficulties.
In a Facebook post, he said: “There is hardship, there is unemployment, and, it is fair to say that the majority of our people continue to struggle to make ends meet.”
“The typical woes of a developing economy that had been recklessly managed. But, it must also be made clear that there is a clear sense of direction on – not only where the Akufo-Addo government wants to go – but also where it is taking Ghana.”
Gabby, as he is affectionately called, is a stalwart of the ruling New Patriotic Party and a cousin of President Akufo-Addo.
He also said, “And, where Govt is taking the nation is the right way and must be made to succeed. I pray for two things: that Govt will find a workable balance between pursuing the big vision goal and responding to the necessary electoral cycle relief expectations, on the other hand. Again, that the people will have the information and the patience to keep faith with the NPP. If we do not help the NPP to succeed then I don’t know… Ghana’s destiny is tied practically to the NPP succeeding. If in doubt just observe that the Ghanaian actually holds the NPP to a higher standard than the NDC. Trust me!”.
