In the wake of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) crushing defeat in the recent general elections, former Tamale Mayor Iddrisu Musah Superior has delivered a scathing critique of President Akufo-Addo's leadership.
The loss, according to Superior, is a clear referendum on the president's style of governance and the performance of his administration. "The NPP lost miserably and painfully in the just concluded general elections," Musah Superior stated emphatically. "This awfully catastrophic defeat is a REFERENDUM on President Akufo-Addo, his leadership style, and the performance of his government." He didn't hold back his condemnation, placing the blame squarely on the president. "NADAA is unapologetically nepotic to the detriment of our Party and his government," he added. "NADAA must take full responsibility for our defeat." Superior praised the party's candidate, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia, for his hard work during the campaign, but he lamented that Bawumia's efforts were overshadowed by what he perceived as the failings of Akufo-Addo's government. "DMB is a great man.
He worked so hard and put in his utmost best in the campaign but got punished for the 'sins' of NADAA." Superior questioned key decisions made under Akufo-Addo's leadership that he believes contributed to the party's downfall. "How come E-levy got implemented when DMB publicly denounced it?" he asked, referring to the controversial tax policy that had been widely criticized by both within and outside the NPP.
