Kwame A-Plus jabs NDC`s Asiedu Nketiah`s presidential ambition

Gomoa Central MP, Kwame A Plus has taken a swipe at chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Asiedu Nketiah on his presidential ambition.

The lawmaker has called out 'General Mosquito' saying the presidency is not a retirement package for old politicians who are not abreast with current needs and aspirations of the modern generation.

He said: “ You were in politics long before all this Dubai business began. Your own region, blessed with gold, timber, fertile soil, and enormous natural resources, continues to struggle with underdevelopment. Communities lack basic sanitation, people still shit in the bush, and children go to bed hungry.

And now you want to become what? President of Ghana?

We came out of a similar situation less than two years ago, after electing a 72-year-old “painti ma mentɔ” man who eventually left office at 80.

Now, you are 69. By the time you are inaugurated in 2029, you will be 72. And if you are President for two terms like Okukuseku, you'll leave office at 80.

Ah! What did we do to deserve this? Why? Is it a curse or what?

What guarantees do Ghanaians have that, after your Akufo Addo lookalike presidency, your family will not also become fugitives who desperately attempt to renounce their Ghanaian citizenship, like Ken Ofori-Atta?

The presidency is not a retirement package or a reward for spending decades in politics engaging in sarcasm.

It is a solemn responsibility that demands vision, leadership, accountability, and measurable results,“ A-Plus added.
