Stephen Yakubu, the Upper West Regional Minister, has admonished opposition parties to cease taking credit for policies and programmes, especially projects that are being implemented by the government. "You must learn to take credit where credit is due. You must also give praises to the government if it implements a project that will enhance development and bring benefits to the people," he said. Yakubu gave the advice when he commissioned the Upper West Regional edition of 100 earthmoving machines, including trucks and other equipment, under the District Roads Improvement Project (DRIP). He said there had been sustained negative politicking going around in the communities by some opposition parties regarding the DRIP and claiming ownership of it as their brainchild, to which they had no entitlement. He explained that the DRIP had been solely the brainchild of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party-led government and that no other political party or individual could take credit for it.
