Ghanaians Blast Akufo-Addo For Choosing To Build Award House After Failing to Build the 88 Hospitals He Promised Before Elections

It seems like just yesterday, we were in the year 2016, and candidate Akufo-Addo was enjoying massive goodwill from the entire Ghanaian population owing to an abysmal performance by the John Mahama-led administration.

Fast forward to 2021, and President Akufo-Addo, despite the fulfilment of his free SHS promise, is struggling to convince the average Ghanaian that he has done better than his predecessor.

However, even the fact that the President appears not to be doing better than his predecessor is not as worrying as the fact that he appears to be completely out of touch with the reality of his people.

In the midst of the coronavirus-induced hardship bedeviling his people, the President has imposed more taxes, apparently in a bid to recoup losses incurred in providing unnecessary freebies last year in a bid to be re-elected.

As dumsor appears to have reared its ugly head again, and Ghanaians are lamenting what appears to be a gloomy future ahead, President Akufo-Addo, as a matter of priority, has cut sod for the construction of a house where awards will be handed in the name of the country to people whose actual contribution to national development remains questionable.

Several Ghanaians have expressed their disappointment in the President’s sense of priority via Twitter.

See some tweets below;

Your greedy President is about to waste state money on some useless Ghana Award house meanwhile Mahama 80% complete projects are left to rot. Hospitals and schools are left to rot meanwhile we need them

The President and his government is very useless pic.twitter.com/U3bQccnPCX

Last year you promised to build 88 hospitals and it still remains a promise; you’ve started none. Yet you’ve ‘cut the sod for the commencement of the “Ghana Award House”’? This is a misplaced priority! https://t.co/DKm3N7jE5s
