Mustafa Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused President Akufo-Addo’s administration of presiding over widespread corruption and economic mismanagement that have plunged Ghana into unprecedented hardship.
In an interview on OKAY FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, Gbande asserted that history would hold President Akufo-Addo accountable for what he described as “supervised thievery” against the next generation of Ghanaians.
He condemned the alleged corruption within the government and vowed that the NDC would relentlessly pursue justice for the misappropriation of state resources.
“I am very excited about the commitment of the NDC to bring to book all corrupt officials in the Akufo- Addo led government. I can assure President Akufo-Addo and his appointees that the level of impudence and corruption that has occurred in his government will not go unnoticed.
“We the young people of this country will not let them go scot-free. They will account for the last pesewa of state resources.”
Expressing concern over the dire economic situation faced by Ghanaians, Gbandi pointed to the failure of the government to pay National Service personnel their arrears, referencing it as evidence of the administration’s disregard for the welfare of its citizens.
He criticized the government’s handling of the National Service program, arguing that it has subjected young workers to unnecessary hardship.
Gbandi also highlighted the fallout from the banking sector cleanup, alleging that the government hinted party members to withdraw their funds from certain banks before their artificial collapse.
He accused the administration of complicity in the demise of indigenous banks and vowed to hold President Akufo-Addo responsible.
“I was happy that Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang made these clear ambiguous comments that resonate with the call of the people of Ghana that we must not let this current regime and his appointees go scot-free with the level of broad day stealing of public resources that they have undertaken.
“We will give them daily evidence of broad day thievery which President Akufo-Addo has supervised against the next generation,” he expressed.
