The National Democratic Congress’ General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has described Nana Akufo-Addo, flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, as the worst Danquah-Busia-Dombo leader.

Reacting to the New Patriotic Party’s version of the State of the Nation Address delivered by Mr Akufo-Addo to counter that delivered by President John Mahama, Mr Nketia said Mr Akufo-Addo “will go down in history as the NPP flagbearer under whose tenure the party sunk to its lowest end.”

“It is curious that Nana Akufo-Addo will speak about taking responsibility when he has failed to take such responsibility for his party’s rapid spiral into gruesome killings, chaos, anarchy, violence, and lawlessness.

“Even when the violence claimed the lives of, first, the NPP Upper East regional chairman, and a supporter of the NPP at Asawase, no leadership emanated from him except for vendetta waged against persons believed to be opposed to him.

“Indeed we dare say he is the worst leader that the Busia-Danquah tradition has produced, having lowered considerably the standard set by the likes of Professor K.A Busia, Victor Owusu, Professor Adu-Boahen and J.A Kufour.”
