Akufo-Addo is not a listening president, has never been one - Nana Ohene Ntow

A former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Ohene Ntow, has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of being unresponsive to the concerns and demands of the public and his own party members.

According to him, the president is not a person with a listening ear.

Nana Ohene Ntow, who is now a member of the Movement for Change, an apolitical group formed by Alan Kyerematen, said that he has a personal experience working with Akufo-Addo.

“I don't think Akufo-Addo is a listening president and I have my own personal experience. In my capacity as the General Secretary when he was a candidate, I worked with him and I've been observing him and his responses to major public opinion issues,” he stated.

He said that Akufo-Addo does not listen to members of parliament from the NPP and he has ignored several calls for a cabinet reshuffle.

“... To the extent that he doesn't listen to his members of parliament from the NPP. How many times have people called for a reshuffle and he didn’t, that is not a listening president. Take the case of Ken Ofori-Atta as the Minister of Finance, the MPs who form part of his government asked that he be changed but he [Akufo-Addo] didn't mind them,” he added.

Nana Ohene Ntow was speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM.

Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
