Akufo-Addo’s gov’t did very well in handling the economy – Freddie Blay

Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Worsemao Armah Blay, has lauded the Akufo-Addo administration for what he describes as its commendable handling of Ghana’s economy and development agenda.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express, Mr. Blay was emphatic that the eight-year governance under President Nana Akufo-Addo delivered significantly across key sectors.

“In terms of performance, and I’m being very sincere with you, I think Nana Akufo-Addo’s government did very well,” he said. “In terms of handling the economy, building infrastructure, building institutions in this country — both political and security institutions — hospitals and education.”

Mr. Blay further asserted that the government’s record on job creation was unmatched.

“I think his government did very well in terms of even providing employment. In the history of this country, that government did extremely well,” he stated.

However, he acknowledged that the party fell short in engaging its grassroots members — a gap he believes may have had political consequences.

“Maybe the only thing we failed to do was to carry along our membership, a greater portion of our members, and some got quite frustrated, and therefore refused to go and vote,” he admitted.
