Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart and political strategist, has said that Ghanaians cannot in any way blame President Akufo-Addo and his government for all the struggles they are going through.
The Akufo-Addo-led government has ascribed the economic hardship Ghana is facing to the negative effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on economies worldwide and, more recently, to the global economic turbulence caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
However, the political stalwart said that, despite the economic challenges, Ghanaians are optimistic in anticipating how the structures and mechanisms that the government and state machinery will institute will work to alleviate their hardships.
Otchere-Darko also said that although, under Ghana’s current constitutional arrangements, every government collapses after eight years at most, the New Patriotic Party is capable of “breaking the eight” come 2024.
