Seth Acheampong, the Eastern regional minister has mentioned that President Akufo-Addo was taken out of context when he said he sanctions all projects before they are executed.
Speaking on the 'Kokrokoo' morning show on Tuesday, April 30, Hon. Acheampong noted that the President meant no malice neither did he disrespect Ghanaians when he mentioned that, he is the only one who gives the green light for projects to be done.
On Sunday April 28, the President, at the final rally ahead of the Ejisu by-election stated that until he gives approval for projects to be executed, no one can do anything on their own for the constituency.
Some Ghanaians, upon hearing him were outraged over the comments made by the President with some describing it as an act of arrogance and pomposity.
Dissonance to the worldview of some Ghanaians, the Eastern regional minister pointed out that, the president meant no malice adding that his statement was misconstrued.
He said, "the President’s speech was figurative. The President was saying that Aduomi should have attributed all the achievements he had made while he was an MP to the NPP and to the President because the President gave him the authority to executive the projects. If it wasn’t the president, there was nothing Aduomi could have done although he was an engineer. The president gives power to MPs and Ministers to executive projects so if Aduomi did what he claims to have done, the credit should be given to the president."

The worst thing Ghanaians can do in December is to give the NPP more than 30% of the total valid votes. The NPP deserves being pocketed into the pockets of Nana Addo's stylish traditional outfit, for looking on sluggishly for Nana and his family to destroy not only the party but also Ghana, and also attempting to defend him on top. I personally feel embarrassed about this NPP who have suddenly loved corruption more than anything else.
Please, please, please, do not insult the intelligence of Ghanaians! We all heard the President and he meant every word he said. Remember Nana is a lawyer and lawyers know the import of every word they utter, unless because he was on a campaign platform, gbeshi was coming out of his mouth! Do you think the President wants you to defend him? No. He sees himself as the boss of Ghanaians - remember ordering the Greater Accra Regional Minister to go talk to a Chief who didn't stand up when the national anthem was being played - his whole body language showed a boss in action, pointing fingers and gesturing, etc. Then, recently, ordering chiefs to stand and greet him! etc. This is vintage Akufo-Addo! Arrogant! But he is our servant, our employee and steward! Nana, the money for road construction and other projects does not come from your pocket - it is our taxes and loans you take in our name, which loan we will pay! You are not doing anybody a favor, we have rather done you a great favor by choosing you to be President. We will sack NPP with our thumb in December! You are not fit to be given the powerful resources of State authority!
Due to his deep political experience when he talk neophytes and ordinary people misunderstand him.He was saying the guy can take any credit for development,credit must be given to the gov't!
A USE LESSS LITTLE MONKEY DRIVER AND HIS GOOD FOR NOTHING MATE. I CALL FOR A BLOODLESS COUP!!
Regrettably, in recent times the President's utterances can be likened to someone whose brain is filled with aviation fuel. He has become very arrogant and disrespectful. Is this the desperate man who, in 2016 was virtually on his knees begging Ghanaians to try him, only to come to power and create the biggest political and governance mess in the history of Ghana. The president messes up and you find his puppets coming to do damage control, most times with much difficulty.
