The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for attributing the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) infrastructure projects to former President John Dramani Mahama.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, November 13, Nkansah expressed concern over what he described as an attempt by the NDC to claim credit for projects initiated and completed under the NPP government.
Nkansah stated that while Mahama had served as President for four years, the NDC has allegedly tried to take ownership of infrastructure developments that were undertaken by the NPP.
He argued that such attributions are misleading and unfair, as they fail to acknowledge the efforts of the current administration.
According to him, the NPP government has made significant strides in infrastructure since taking office, and these achievements should not be overlooked or misrepresented.
The NEIP CEO made it clear that the NPP would resist any attempts by the NDC to credit Mahama with projects that were carried out under the ruling party’s tenure.
He emphasised that the NPP is proud of its track record in infrastructure development and is committed to ensuring that the party’s contributions are accurately recognised. Nkansah added that the current administration’s accomplishments are a testament to its focus on national progress and development.
In his post, Nkansah urged supporters of the NPP to remain vigilant and challenge any false narratives about the party’s achievements.
He highlighted the importance of setting the record straight, especially in the run-up to the upcoming elections, where accurate information would play a crucial role in guiding voter decisions.
“Former President Mahama was President for only four years, but our NDC friends want to give him credit for every infrastructure project we post.”
“Funding for the construction of the University of Engineering and Agricultural Science at Bunso in the Eastern Region was approved by Parliament in 2018, so how could it be an NDC project?”
