Akufo-Addo’s reliance on family, friends has brought Ghana this far – Hopeson Adorye

Director of Special Duties for the Movement for Change, Hopeson Adorye, has blamed Ghana’s economic struggles on President Akufo-Addo’s reliance on “family and friends.”

In a July 17, 2024, interview on Oyerepa TV, Adorye expressed his dissatisfaction with the nation’s current state, arguing that the president’s close relatives, who occupy key government positions, are responsible for the country’s challenges.

Despite President Akufo-Addo’s initial promises and determination to transform Ghana, Adorye contended that the president allowed himself to be misled by his family members, resulting in poor governance and decision-making.

“You can see that everybody is expressing disappointment with the government, so let us be concerned about the person who will change the narrative,” Mr Adorye said.

As a former member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Adorye admitted he was once part of the administration but emphasized that his trust in Akufo-Addo’s leadership was misplaced due to the undue influence of certain family members.

Adorye highlighted Ken Ofori-Atta, a former finance minister; Asante Bediatuo, the secretary to the president; and Gabby Otchere-Darko, the president’s cousin, as key figures contributing to the country’s difficulties.

He accused these individuals of blocking progress and prioritizing their own interests.

“Someone will accuse me of being part, and of course, yes, I was. But Akufo-Addo, I trusted, had the will and the zeal to change this country, but he allowed his family members to mislead him.

“If you have Ken Ofori-Atta and Akufo-Addo tell you to pay Paa Kwesi Nduom and he says he won’t pay, how can you progress?

“His family members around him have disappointed him. I am telling you; I swear to God that Akufo-Addo was determined to change this country, but his family members disappointed him. That is why they say the effects of family and friends’ governments are bad. Asante Bediatuo, Gabby Otchere-Darko, and all,” he added.”
