Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has criticised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for what he described as his habit of ignoring advice.
In an interview with TV3’s Johnnie Hughes, the independent candidate for Gomoa Central stated that if the president had been more receptive to counsel, his administration might have been more effective.
Speaking in an interview with TV3, A Plus said, “How can I advise Akufo-Addo? He wouldn't take your advice if you gave him one. If Akufo-Addo took advice, would his government be what it is today? He won't look for advice. When he calls me for advice, I would even think that maybe they are plotting against me.”
A Plus also recounted when the former Electoral Commissioner Charlotte Osei informed the president that he had won the 2016 elections, a moment he witnessed firsthand.
He recalled the initial plans they had to build a strong government at the start of his tenure, but things subsequently took a turn for the worse.
“The day Akufo-Addo won the election, Charlotte Osei called Akufo-Addo and said he had won the election. He met the media in his house, accepted the verdict, and thanked everybody. I was standing by him. We walked from there into his office in the house. It was just me and him. He held my hand as we walked to his office,” he said.
“The media was there. And when we entered his office, I said something to him. I said ‘Nana, we are going to teach these guys how to run a country.’ I was so optimistic that we are going to do something under Akufo-Addo,” he added.
