The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustafa Gbandi, has denoted that history will hold President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo responsible for failing Ghanaians by plunging the country into abject poverty and economic catastrophe.

According to Mustafa Gbandi, the level of hardship being experienced by Ghanaians is unprecedented, revealing that, it stems from the gruesome thievery and mismanagement of the economy and the corrupt practices of some government officials.

He made this known in an interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' on Thursday, April 25.

"I am very excited about the commitment of the NDC to bring to book all corrupt officials in the Akufo-Addo-led government. I can assure President Akufo-Addo and his appointees that the level of impudence and corruption that has occurred in his government will not go unnoticed. We, the young people of this country, will not let them go scot-free. They will account to the last pesewa of state resources."

He expressed shock over the 5-month arrears that the government has not paid to the National Service personnel.

According to the Deputy General Secretary, the government has not dealt with the National Service personnel, considering the hardships they go through in reporting to work each day.

Highlighting the impact of the banking sector cleanup which saw the collapse of some indigenous banks, Mustafa Gbandi stated that the government allegedly pre-informed some party members to withdraw their funds from the banks and keep it in their various homes in order not to be affected by the clean-up, adding that history will hold President Akufo-Addo responsible.

"I was happy that Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang made these clear ambiguous comments that resonate with the call of the people of Ghana that we must not let this current regime and his appointees go scot-free with the level of broad day stealing of public resources that they have undertaken. We will give them daily evidence of broad day thievery which President Akufo-Addo has supervised against the next generation."
