Allotey Jacobs Jabs NDC Over National Cathedral

Former Central Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress now a social communicator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs has taken a jab against the Members of the opposition Party for fighting against the building of the National Cathedral. The opposition NDC is inciting Ghanaians against the Akufo-Addo-led government over the construction of the National Cathedral, as the MP for North Tongu, Samul Okudzekto Ablakwa in a series of posts is accusing the government of spending taxpayers’ money on the project without any approval from Parliament. Apart from his criticism, other members of the NDC also on daily basis stormed radio and television stations to attack the government. However, reacting to the NDC war against the government, Allotey Jacobs described them (NDC...

NDC Kicks Against Otumfuo Lands

Rashid Pelpuo THE NATIONAL Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority in Parliament has expressed vehement opposition to the release of lands in Kumasi to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. It would be recalled that allegations emerged in the media recently that some parcels of land in Kumasi have been released to the Golden Stool by the Akufo-Addo government. Sources in government indicate the processes leading to this release of lands predate the Akufo-Addo administration, with the Cabinet of President Mahama giving approval for this release. Lands belonging to the Golden Stool were seized in the first half of the nineteenth (19th) century without the payment of compensation whatsoever. All governments in the Fourth Republic worked on the process of releasing lands in Kuma...

Mahama is a better leader than Akufo-Addo – Haruna Attah

A former High Commissioner to Namibia and Botswana has described former President John Mahama, as a better leader who steered the affairs of the country better than what Ghanaians are witnessing and experiencing under President Akufo-Addo. In a conversation with Adom News, Haruna Attah rated the performance of the current government as a mess. Comparing former President Mahama’s tenure in office, he underscored the need for Ghanaians to appreciate that, leadership is not experimental and hence if Ghanaians had given the former president the opportunity to lead the country in the 2016 elections, Ghana would have been better off. This, he believes, is because Mahama measures up to the likes of Kwame Nkrumah and to some extent Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings whom he described as a ...
