I Have Regretted Voting For Nana Akufo Addo

If you are president of a country, who cares about the welfare of the common people, once, you realize the majority of the people saying, “I have regretted voting for Akufo Addo,” that’s where you need to ask yourself “where did it all go wrong?”

According to the president, Nana Akufo Addo, the impact of the coronavirus on Ghana is very severe. To make life easier for the common people, he provided free water, food, and electricity to Ghanaians.

I am yet to find out if the entire Ghana nation, including the urban and the rural areas, benefitted from his “sympathy” and how much those free provisions cost the state.

Again, the president, Nana Akufo Addo said, due to the free provision of water, food, and electricity, Ghana is in financial difficulty, therefore, the passing of the E-Levy is necessary to fill the gap of the debt created by the free provisions.

Let us ask the president, Ghana has cocoa, diamond, gold, bauxite, oil, and other precious metals that have ready markets in the developed world.

That is the reality, if the NDC hadn't lost the election, the truth wouldn't have been known today. Think twice Ghanaians, for the future of our country and the children's welfare

When our resources are purchased, where does the money go? Despite all these resources, if he couldn't develop the country after five years, how convincing that the E-Levy he wants to impose on Ghanaians will do the transformation?

Another interesting point is according to Nana Akufo Addo, we need multiple taxations to address our issues because Ghana can't continue depending on foreign grants and loans.

However, at the end of March 2020, the debt stock was Ghc 234.9billion, while external debt accounted for Ghc 124.79billion and as of today, the debt has sharply increased to over 300 billion. How did this foreign debt occur without depending on foreign loans?

Where is the money and what are they used for? I wonder if the president thinks about what he speaks and the people he tells because practically, he has failed to do what he says which has become today's political and economic disaster.

If the president without shame, will continue to tell Ghanaians that because of the provision of free water, food, and electricity, therefore, E-Levy is necessary to fill the fiscal debt, where is the $100 million World Bank made it available to assist Ghana during the coronavirus pandemic?

Apart from the COVID-19 support from the International Monetary Fund to Ghana, the European Union also gave Ghana over 80 million Euros, where is the money?

The disgraceful politics being practiced in Ghana and the financial crime taking place daily, if that’s what takes place in developed countries, will Ghanaian politicians go there for holidays and medical checkups?

Why many African leaders don’t reason at all? Why are they not aware that their actions as politicians determine the future of Ghana and the people, especially the children?

Now it’s common to hear in Ghana that “I have regretted voting for Akufo Addo,” indeed, I don’t blame them because this government appears to be the worst in the political history of Ghana, yet still, because of greed, tribalism, hypocrisy, and hate, many wouldn’t simply admit this truth.

However, whether they accept the truth or ignore it, there is nothing they can do at this crucial moment to change the mind of Ghanaians who have regretted voting for Akufo Addo, which reflects on the entire party.
