Former Deputy General Secretary of the (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen, has lamented the priorities of former President during his tenure.

According to Obiri Boahen, the former president wasted state funds on the stalled National Cathedral project while neglecting the country's struggling railway sector.

Speaking in an interview on Neat FM on March 5, 2025, he described the heavy investment in the cathedral project as a waste of resources, arguing that the funds could have been better utilized elsewhere. "How can you use state funds for a cathedral while our railway sector was in a poor state?

The money he invested in the cathedral could have been used to revive the railway sector.
