Akufo-Addo’s gov’t had it flaws but it’s not the worst in the history of Ghana – Assin South MP

Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South and former Deputy Education Minister, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has refuted the claims that President Akufo-Addo’s government is the worst in the history of the fourth republic.

According to him, although the past government had its flaws, it is inaccurate to state that it was the worst government.

“President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia’s government is definitely not the worst government. It is a very good government. Every administration has its flaws, but that does not diminish the monumental achievements and legacies of this government,” Rev. John Ntim Fordjour said in an interview with GHOne TV.

In making his point, the former Deputy Education Minister cited the Free Senior High School policy of the Akufo-Addo government.

He argued that it is a legacy programme that has opened doors for all Ghanaian children to go to school.

“For the first time, every Ghanaian child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to access secondary education for free. This monumental policy has become a shining light in sub-Saharan Africa, inspiring other countries to follow suit. It bridges the gap between the rich and the poor, offering equal opportunities for success,” he explained.

Rev. John Ntim Fordjour further admitted that while there will always be areas that could have been handled better by the past government, its achievements in education, infrastructure, and other sectors speak for themselves.
