Hon Owuraku Amofa, the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the Abuakwa South constituency in the Eastern Region has stated that "no Ghanaian should think of voting for my uncle (Nana Akufo-Addo). He will be the worst President for Ghana."

Hon Owuraku Amofa made the statement at a rally in Akyem Adukrom on Sunday when Vice President Kwesi- Amissah –Arthur joined him in the constituency to campaign in the area. According to him, the NDC is for jobs, opportunities, developments, stability.

Hon Owuraku Amofa said failure of the three-time opposition flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo to transform his constituency during his tenure as a member of parliament, is indicative that he cannot run Ghana.

The former deputy communication minister under the Rawlings regime revealed that it was during his time as MP for Abuakwa South that various developmental projects transformed the Kyebi Township.

According to him, he ensured electricity was extended to Kyebi, lobbied for the Kyebi Government hospital and the construction of roads from Suhum to Kyebi.

Aside this, he noted that he made sure a senior high school was provided for the area.

On the other hand, he added that when Nana Akufo Addo succeeded him, he transformed the Kyebi Township negatively.

“The kind of transformation he brought we are all aware and it is nothing to write home about. Instead of him maintaining what his relative had done, he destroyed them”, Owuraku Amofa said.

“He couldn't manage his own hometown, if he can't manage two thousand people how much more 27 million people?” he asked.
