Former Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has launched a passionate defense of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, criticising elements within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for blaming him for the party's electoral challenges.

In a strongly worded statement on her Facebook page, the outspoken former lawmaker expressed dismay at what she described as the vilification of the President by some party supporters, arguing that these same individuals would have credited him had the party emerged victorious. "Thank you to all of you who are busy vilifying him today and blaming him for our defeat.

I am sure you would all have given him the credit if we had won," she said.

Owusu-Ekuful highlighted Akufo-Addo's longstanding dedication to the NPP, noting that he held the party together during its eight years in opposition and again in government.
