The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has refuted President Akufo-Addo's accusations that political opponents have targeted him and his party with a coordinated campaign of misinformation and disinformation.
Speaking at the Ghana Report Summit under the theme ‘Dealing with Misinformation and Disinformation in the Upcoming Election’, President Akufo-Addo, referenced 'Agyapadie' document and claimed that a plot was orchestrated to tarnish his reputation ahead of the upcoming elections.
The NDC's Director of Elections, Dr Omane Boamah, who was also present at the event responded sharply to these accusations.
He asserted that the opposition is not behind such efforts and suggested that the President should reflect on the content of the "Agyapadie" document.
Dr Boamah questioned how a document predicting the President's actions accurately could exist if it were not based on observed behaviour, emphasising that instead of blaming the opposition, the President should consider why his government has seemingly fulfilled the negative predictions outlined in the document.
"How come I campaigned to protect the public purse? How come I campaigned to develop Ghana? Yet this document is indicating that I came only for my people and for my clan? If I were the president, I'd be more concerned.
"Instead of the President hastily blaming the opposition party, the President should have a sober reflection about the content of the 'Agyapadie' document as people are pushing out there and check how come he has fallen so low to have manifested these things in his government such that today, people who have read a document are saying that ah, that is the evidence,” he stressed.
Dr Boamah further criticised the President for frequently blaming the NDC for various issues, including the country's economic challenges.
He pointed out that with only four months remaining in office, it is too late for such accusations.
Dr Boamah also expressed expectations for the President to show readiness to hand over power to whoever wins the December 7 presidential elections.
Additionally, he urged President Akufo-Addo to move away from statements suggesting he would only hand over to his vice president and now NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
