Koku Anyidoho chides NDC for claiming credit for Akufo-Addo’s DRIP project

Former deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has lambasted the leadership of the NDC for seeking to take credit for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s recently launched District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP).

His criticism comes after Ahmed Ibrahim, the Deputy Minority Whip who doubles as the NDC Member of Parliament for Banda, stated in an interview on Okay FM that the project was actually the brainchild of former President John Mahama in 2016.

“This DRIP project was something that President Mahama launched in July 2016. President Mahama’s problem was that he dissolved the Ministry of Information and combined it with the Ministry of Communication. So, there were a lot of things that he did but were not communicated. He launched the projects in July 2016,” Ibrahim said.

Koku Anyidoho, who did not agree with the MP, took to X on August 2, 2024, to vent his frustration with the NDC.

In one of his X posts, he stated, “Desperation is NOT good ooo!!! Listen to how this JM puppet attempts to steal the DRIP Initiative for his boss but ends up indicting the policy of merging the Information & Communications Ministries.

“This is a BIG indictment on JM that’s why he must have a DEBATE with DMB.”

He added, “What is happening to my NDC? This is shocking!!! They are now saying that the DRIP Initiative was started by JM. In one breath, the NPP Govt is doing nothing; in another breath, all the NPP projects are JM’s projects. Soon, they will say JM created the world. Haba!”

The programme is designed to empower the metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) with the resources and equipment necessary to rehabilitate and maintain roads within their respective jurisdictions.
