Mr. Joseph Boakye-Danquah, a member of the New Patriotic Party has launched an attack on the National Democratic Congress describing their recent presser as empty and a waste of precious time.
The NDC has listed persons it says are relatives and ‘entire nuclear family’ of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his led administration.
At a press conference on Tuesday, the National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi listed 51 names he said pointed to “classic and unprecedented” nepotism within the Akufo-Addo government.
According to Sammy Gyamfi, Nana Akufo-Addo vowed to eschew nepotism and cronyism in his government but has done otherwise.
“I will not operate a family and friends’ government,” he quoted the then NPP Presidential candidate.
But in Mr. JB Danquah's view, instead of using the forum to manufacture fake stories of family members serving under President Akufo-Addo, the party could have offered the alternatives they would bring on board if voted for in 2020.
In an interview with Peacefmonline.com, the aspiring NPP parliamentary candidate for Subin noted that dedicating hours to talk about the family of the President could only be produced by "incompetent" leaders in the NDC.
"The NDC is still not appealing to the masses. If a whole opposition party can dedicate hours to organize a press conference and talk about family members of the sitting President, it paints a clear picture that they are not ready to come to power.
They have lost it and are not the alternative in 2020, it is a party still full of incompetent leaders and everything they address is empty- it has no substance", JB Danquah said.

Eeeesh another JB Danquah. I pray that the God Lord will protect you . I wish you don't involve yourself in polities hmmmm
The issue is not on the competence of the relatives. They are qualified to hold those positions. However, the Man when in opposition campaigned that he HE WOULD NOT OPERATE A FRIENDS AND FAMILY GOVERNMENT. We voted for him and he did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he campaigned for. This is main issue.
Personally, the relatives deserve the positions. Akuffo Addo comes from political home and the family has a track record right from Ghana Independence up to date. From the father to uncles. You cannot take it away from them. They serve in Kufuor's regime and still serving Ghana. Atta Akyea is renown politician, and a lawyer. Gloria Akuffo deserves has position as Attorney General. Ken Ofori Atta is a banker. The family is blessed period. The forefathers laid the foundation for them. In the struggle to independence, you see 3 family members in the big six. So per calculation , if just 6 , the family occupies 3, you can imagine how many ministerial positions they should hold today.
Oh my goodness! Because of INCOMPETENT NDC can NOT see that Sammy Gyamfi is causing the party’s downfall and making it unpopular. This little rat a baby with sharp teeth is not learning any lessons about his presentation so the least said about him the better. All these drive me to decree like the Jews said NEVER AGAIN TO NDC. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
