In the wake of Ghanaians ousting the NPP administration and voting overwhelmingly for the NDC\u2019s flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, in the 2024 general elections, Criss Waddle has taken a sobering and emotional look back on what he describes as the horrible period Ghanaians endured under the NPP\u2019s Akufo-Addo-led government. <\/p>\n In a series of posts on December 8, the popular musician and entrepreneur shared his reflections on the \u2018nightmares\u2019 Ghanaians faced under what he referred to as Akufo-Addo\u2019s \u2018tyrannical\u2019 rule over the past eight years. <\/p>\n Criss Waddle lambasted the outgoing president for claims of suppressing the freedom of Ghanaians, crippling businesses, imposing higher taxes, fostering corruption, and turning a deaf ear to the struggles of the people. <\/p>\n \u201cYou arrested almost everyone who spoke against your party, making sure even journalists lost their freedom of speech. You collapsed and crippled almost every business that wasn\u2019t owned by your allies. People cried out in hunger, yet you kept imposing higher taxes,\u201d he posted on X. <\/p>\n The musician also criticiSed the government\u2019s decision to construct a national cathedral instead of prioritising employment opportunities, despite widespread public opposition. <\/p>\n He further accused the government of ruling the country like a military dictatorship. <\/p>\n \u201cAlmost the whole country cried, begged, and said, \u2018We don\u2019t need a cathedral right now. We need employment.\u2019 But you said, \u2018NEVER. I\u2019m still building it.\u2019 You ordered the chiefs to stand up and greet you as if sitting down to greet you would take away their blessings and good policies.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cFor eight years, we were all under your military rule. Unless a person shouted, \u2018Ajei, I\u2019m hungry or I\u2019m hurting,\u2019 you would arrest or cripple them. Herh, we suffered ooo,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n The climax of Criss Waddle\u2019s posts came when he recalled the \u201cFix The Country\u201d movement, during which Ghanaians on social media called on the government to address major national issues. <\/p>\n He recounted how many government supporters responded by telling the movement\u2019s proponents to \u201cfix yourselves.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cPeople begged you to fix the country, and you told them to \u2018fix themselves.\u2019 Herh, you\u2019re a champion. We will never forget you until we die, short man devil,\u201d he posted. <\/p>\n Criss Waddle’s posts come as many celebrities have begun speaking against the actions of the outgoing government, as the country transitions to new leadership under John Mahama. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has emerged victorious in Ghana’s December 7 general elections, securing a majority of the votes from both the presidential and parliamentary aspects. <\/p>\n Although the Electoral Commission is yet to officially announce the results, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has conceded defeat and congratulated his opponent NDC’s John Mahama. <\/p>\n View the posts below:<\/b><\/p>\n You arrested almost everyone that spoke against ur party,making sure even journalists lost their freedom of speech,you collapsed and crippled almost every business that wasn\u2019t owned by your allies,people cried of pure hunger yet you kept imposing higher taxes.<\/p>\n \u2014 Criss Waddle (@CrissWaddle) December 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n For 8 years we were all under your military rule,unless person no shout \u201cAjei am hungry or am Hurting\u201d then Kpa u arrest am or Cripple am \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 Herh we suffer ooo.<\/p>\n \u2014 Criss Waddle (@CrissWaddle) December 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Almost the whole Country Cried,begged and said We don\u2019t need a Cathedral right now.we need employment But You said NEVER u still go build am \ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udd79.U ordered chiefs to get up and greet you as if sitting down to greet U takes away ur blessings and good policies u had.<\/p>\n \u2014 Criss Waddle (@CrissWaddle) December 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n People begged you to fix the country you told them to \u201cfix themselves\u201d\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 Herh u be champion,we will never forget you da until we die short man Devil<\/p>\n \u2014 Criss Waddle (@CrissWaddle) December 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n ID\/EB <\/p>\n Click here to follow the GhanaWeb Entertainment News WhatsApp channel <\/p>\n![\"Criss](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/947\/94799699.295.jpg\" "\\"Criss")
