The Member of Parliament for Bantama, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has accused the ruling NDC of deliberately attempting to erase the legacy of former President by reversing the renaming of certain universities in the country.
Asenso-Boakye described the plan by the (NDC) administration through the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, to reverse the action by the then-Akufo-Addo government as "petty" and "deeply regrettable".
In a Facebook post on Thursday, May 8, 2025, he asserted that the government's actions reveal a sense of desperation, accusing them of engaging in unpatriotic behaviour that undermines efforts toward nation-building. "The NDC government's plan to reverse the renaming of public universities by the Akufo-Addo administration is not only petty; it is deeply regrettable.
It reflects a desperate attempt to undo the legacy of the previous government, at the expense of national unity and progress," he said.
