Believe me the NPP will be in opposition for at least 20 years. Your Kumasihene is also angry that the NDC won the election that is why up till now he has not travelled to Accra to congratulate John Mahama. He came with a huge delegation to the Flagstaff House to congratulate Akufo Addo when he won the election few years back. Ghanaians are watching you !!!

Bawumia hails from North East region and NPP won both parliamentary and presidential in that area.Lets not forget that JDM is also a northerner and that also affected the Dynamics.The truth is that the voter apathy was heavy in the Ashanti region. If Bawumia being a northerner contributed to the refusal of people to vote in Ashanti,then that is unfortunate.

It is time Ghanaians demanded from their politicians how they can improve their lives rather than accepting anyone who has money and influence. If we bombard them with simple questions as to what and how they can satisfy our expectations, we will have the opportunity to determine if we vote for them. We need to be more matured in polio and stop following idiots simply because they have money and influence.

YES, YES-I AM WANT KWADWO MPIANI AND OTHER PROMINENT ASHANTIS TO START TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE NPP. WE THE ASHANTIS VOTE MASSIVELY FOR THE NPP AND SO WE SHOULD BE THE KING MAKERS-AMANFUO-
KEN AGYAPONG AND DR ADUTWUM ALL THE WAY. OFF NANA ANKOMEA-YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. ENOUGH OF THE PAMPERING OF THE NORTHERNERS. PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS A NORTHERNER AND IT IS NOT ETHICALLY FOR THE NPP ALSO TO SUCKER TO A NORTHERNER.
YOU BLOODY IDIOT TANI UNGRATEFUL BAWUMIA- THE NPP ECONOMIC MESSIAH-CHAIRMAN OF THE ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE-CLAIMING TO BE THE DRIVERS MATE. THAT IS THE ABDICATION OF DUTY/RESPONSIBILITY/POWER. AKUFFO ADDO FAILURE TO PUT THE NATIONAL INTEREST BEFORE HIS FAMILY WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACTORS THAT LED TO THE NPP HISTORICAL LOSS IN THE 2024 ELECTIONS. STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS MONEY-DDEP-STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS MONEY-LOOTING AND STEALING BY THE AKYEM ABUAKWA ANIMALS. FIRING SQUAD FOR THE TINY AKYEM ABUAKWA SAKAWA PEOPLE FROM THE EASTERN REGION OF GHANA WHICH IS MADE UP OF KROBOS, AKUAPIMS AND THE AKYEMS. THE KROBOS AND THE AKUAPIMS ALWAYS VOTE FOR THE NDC. SO THE TINY AKYEM ABUAKWA SECRETLY LINKED THEMSELVES TO US ASHANTIS TO LOOK BIG. AKYEM PEOPLE ARE NOT ASHANTIS. THEY ARE FROM THE EASTERN REGION OF GHANA.ARE YOU MAD-AKUFFO ADDO WAS THE MOST UNGRATEFUL PERSON I HAVE COME ACROSS-HE DID NOTHING FOR US ASHANTIS WHO VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT-HOW UNGRATEFUL? IS HE REAL? YOUR TINY POP:ULATION AKYEM PEOPLE FROM EASTERN REGION OF GHANA. WE ASHANTIS WERE GENEROUS TO HIM IN UNPRECEDENT LEVELS.
AKUFFO ADDO WAS AROOGANT. HE FORGOT THAT IT WAS THE ELECTORATE WHO VOTED TO GIVE HIM THE POWER. ASHANTIS VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE FOR TANI AKYEM ABUAKWA AKUFFO ADDO FROM THE EASTERN REGION OF GHANA TO BECOME PRESIDENT BUT HE DID NOTHING FOR US ASHANTIS. AKUFFO ADDO PUT HIS FAMILY-KEN OFORI ATTA ABOVE GHANA NATIONAL INTEREST. AKUFFO ADDO IS A THIEF WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS-THEY STOLE GHANA BORROWED MONEY WE HAVE TO PAY BACK-OUR CHILDREN HAVE TO PAY BACK THE MONEY AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS FAMILY STOLE.
AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA MONEY £900 MILLION

KEN OFORI ATTA STOLE GHANA MONEY £400 MILLION

EDWARD AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA MONEY £350 MILLION

GABBY OTCHERE DARKO STOLE GHANA MONEY £250 MILLION

NAPO STOLE GHANA MONEY £150 MILLION

BAWUMIA STOLE GHANA MONEY £450 MILLION

YOU BORROWED AND STOLE IT ALL. YOU BORROWED OVER $50 BILLION US DOLLARAHAVE THE NPP FORGOTTEN THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS THE NPP VISITED ON GHANAIAN PEOPLE? STEALING OF THE PENSIONERS MONEY, BAWUMIA FAILED ECONOMIC MESSIAH, AKUFFO ADDO REFUSING TO REMOVE HIS COUSIN-KEN OFORI ATTA-DESPITE CAUSING FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE. NPP ARE DREAMERS-GHANA VOTERS ARE NOT FOOLS. REMOVE ALL THE NPP FAILED AND CORRUPT EXECUTIVES WHO ALLOWED TANI AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS FAMILY TO STEAL AND STEAL
Remove Akyem Abuakwa STOOGE Liar Bawumia, The Loser. There should NOT be another Northerner as President because President Mahama has taken that SLOT. We should NOT be afraid of the Northerners-CALL A SPADE A SPADE. The Northerners are OVER PAMPERED-NPP gets few votes from the North of Ghana and even Bawumia-who is a Northerner could NOT change it.
The LIES that brought the LOSER DRIVERS MATE-BAWUMIA TO THE NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP WAS THAT-BECAUSE HE IS A NORTHERNER-IF HE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT MAHAMA- THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA WOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BAWUMIA AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA. BUT THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA. SO THE DOCTRINE OF BREAKING THE 8 YEARS WAS AN AKYEM ABUAKWA LIES AND TRICKS-THE ILLITERATE CHAIRMAN WONTUMI DID NOT SEE. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD REPLACE BCHAIRMAN WONTUMI BECAUSE YHE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE KINGMAKER OF THE NPP LEADER BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OR NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES IN THE ASHANTI REGION. NO REGION IN GHANA, GIVE THE NPP THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES AS THE ASHANTI REGION DOES. SO THERE SHOULD BE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF VOTES FOR EACH REGION AS PER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES NATIONALLY.

Factors that contributed to NPP's election loss are:
1. Bad, cruel and reckless policies
2. The inability of the NPP leadership to restrain the ' ka a nka bi syndrome of Akuffo Addo
3. Ken Ofori Atta's OVER SIZED FINANCE MINISTRY WITH OVER REACHING POWERS TO STOP ANY VALUE FOR MONEY PROJECT EXCEPT-CREATE AND LOOT policies-
4. The unrepentant branding of disgruntled members as traitors like ALAN KYEREMATEN
5. The creation and the continuous existence of the Akyem/Kyebi mafia
5. NPP was a galamseyers party and government
6. Reckless borrowing
7. The implementation of the DDEP-STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS SAVINGS-VERY DISTATEFUL
8. Divide and rule tactics by Akuffo Addo
9. Christians ganged against a Muslim candidate
10. NNP's betrayal of its grassroots people
11. The " mass stealing syndrome" of the selected and protected elites
12. The neglect of the Ashanti region for the Eastern region-NO PROJECT WAS COMPLETED BY TANI AKUFFO ADDO IN THE ASHANTI REGION-WHO VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT.
13. The pomposity of Akuffo Addo RIDING IN EXPENSIVE PRIVATE JETS and his chosen and protected elites GOING TO EUROPE FOR SHOPPING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL JET
14. Unassertive, weak and chop chop NPP leadership-THE STEALING BRIDGADE
15. The Wontumi factor-ILLITERATE WONTUMI-HE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER-like displaying GOLD BARS ON TV-Womtumi is an IDIOT-Ashantis REMOVE HIM.
16. The imposition and protection of non performing MPs by Akuffo Addo and the elites of the party
17. The " mentumi ne oyi ny3 adwuma mentality of Akuffo Addo
18. The non existence of a fair internal grievance procedure or the hijacking of this machinery by Akuffo Addo
19. The hijacking and the infiltration of non entities and square pegs in round holes in the economic management team of Akuffo Addo and his Akyem mafia
20. The " merengue obiara na merete me ka" posture of Akufo Addo
21. The money na talk syndrome of the party ( moneycracy)
22. ÑPP use communicators who had fallen in favor with its grassroots
23. Communicators could not defend the badly crafted and wickedly intended policies like the DDEP, E-Levy, Agyapa, etc
24. The attempt to use of Covid and Russian- Ukraine war as a cover up for bad and wicked policies- KEN OFORI ATTA BUDGETS-DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTINGENCY MONEY, NO RISK ASSESSMENT WAS CARRIED OUT.
25. Mass fraud and corruption by government people- e.g. EUGENE ARHIN, SIR JOHN, KWABENA ADU BOAHENE
26.Dupping, fraudulent and stealing from proposed but non existed development projects
27. Non performing oversized government, creating job for the boys.
28. No value for money mentality
29. The dollar which was allowed to break the bank. The Ghana cedi lost its value in 2022 under Ken Ofori Atta and the President refused to remove him despite 98 NPP MPs went to see him and he refused to meet them-DICTATORSHIP.
30. Stagflation- high inflation matching stagnant economic growth and unemployment
31. Breakdown of respect for traditional authorities and their people where TANI Akuffo Addo ordered Chiefs to stand when greeting him. What on earth is this liliput, short and ugly Akyem Abuakwa TANI come from?
32. Loose talk by Akuffo Addo- eg, I will not develop the Kwabre community and that no one has lost his thumb and should vote against the party if he or she is dissatisfied. It is only a drug addict who will talk like this and expect his party to win election. He was let loose to speak irresponsibly by the party hierarchy
26. Etc,etc, etc and ect

The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people who helped him during his 8 years in office may not all been enjoying their ‘retirements’ so well, or so quietly.

And this is for reasons aligned to promises and what appears to be a robust aim by the John Dramani Mahama government, which took over from the past one, to prosecute any forms of corruption that arose during the former administration.

These formed part of campaign promises by John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC), coming into the 2024 Election, and so far, they have been determined on achieving that.

Caught up in that, have been a number of appointees of Akufo-Addo who have ended up several investigations, or, in simple terms, whose names have been linked to controversial wealth that people believe may be, somehow, corruption related.

In this GhanaWeb article, let us take a look at some of the appointees under Akufo-Addo whose wealth came into question, generating national conversations.

In each of these cases, something happened that brought their cases into the public light, prompting national discussions and great interest.

Eugene Arhin

Eugene Arhin was the Director of Communications at the Presidency under Nana Akufo-Addo for the 8 years he was in office.

In 2021, a divorce case with his wife made it into the public, where his wife was demanding for certain reliefs in the separation process.

As part of the things she listed, she made mention of some of the properties owned by Eugene Arhin and these revelations, in the eyes of the public, generated a lot of conversations.

For many, did the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, amass all that in a space of four years, or during his time in public office?

Gloria Assan Arhin, his wife at the time, prayed the Accra High Court to grant her divorce request and also give her a number of properties, including a five-bedroom residential property (which was intended to be the matrimonial home of the parties) situated on a two-plot of land lying at East Legon in Accra; a four-storey building comprising 16 separate flats/apartments situated on a parcel of land at Bubiashie in Accra which land was acquired from a family friend of the petitioner.

She also asked for a storey building being constructed which comprised of 16 separate flats/apartments situated at Tuba-Weija in Accra.

These were but just three of the over twenty properties she sought after as part of the divorce.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John)

Sir John, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until his death.

After his death, his will became public, generating another widespread conversation among Ghanaians. It involved a tall list of 75 properties, including houses, parcels of land, bank accounts, investments, businesses, guns and clothes.

His will also raised public concerns following the discovery that he owned lands at the Achimota Forest. This was also because President Akufo-Addo had, at the time, signed an Executive Instrument that said part of the Achimota Forest was no longer a forest reserve.

Critics said the move was a ploy to get the land into the hands of the ruling elite, an accusation the government vehemently denied.

Sir John’s ownership of parcels of lands at the Achimota Forest appeared to have heightened the deep-seated mistrust of the government and its actions.

Below are the properties as listed in the will of the late Sir John:

House on plot number GA54480 located in Ogbojo, East Legon, and acquired on February 12, 2018

House on plot number GA 55329 located at Oyarifa No. 2, acquired on May 11, 2018

Kwabena Adu-Boahene

The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

For 8 as a cabinet minister your constituency Bosomtwe was not developed.Very bad road is what the people are going through.

This guy is a joke. He’s the stingiest person ever, and one who has amassed amazing wealth at the Ministry of Education. For sometime now, he’s been in discussion to partner Kennedy Agyapong. It’s healthy for democracy, but he’s not going to win it. He’s just too stingy. This dude never allowed posting to SHS for even his fellow ministers. He’s bought so many mansions in Accra. At least 6 costing about $300,000 each. Yes. There’s more, and details will be released at the right time

For the cameras, he did a good job but you ask teachers on the field nothing significant happens. Fanfares were his hallmarks but all the reforms weren't fully implemented.

Bawumia wasn't wise enough to know he's got to give the seniors respect by not contesting for the flag barreaship.
Alan especially feels disrespected which led to his exit.

Now it appears they lack a front

Was this man truly an accomplished educationist in the US? He claims he ran a school with over 200 staff, yet he left it to accept a deputy minister position that has negatively impacted our education system with the double track system. Even when Ghanaians rejected his party, he could not go back; he is still hanging around like a vagabond. Perhaps he meant that he was employed in the US as a principal of a private secondary school.

Adutwum is much a better choice than both Bawumia and Kennedy. I believe Adutwum has more leadership qualities than his immediate two , Bawumia and Kennedy.
