The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has defended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u2019s economic management record, asserting that his administration performed commendably despite facing significant challenges.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Point Blank<\/em>, a segment on Eyewitness News<\/em>, Ahiagbah attributed the economic difficulties during Akufo-Addo\u2019s tenure to external shocks.<\/p>\n He emphasized that, under normal circumstances, Ghana\u2019s economy would have been in a stronger position by the time Akufo-Addo completed his term in 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cThe task given to Akufo-Addo to manage the economy, he didn\u2019t do bad at all. Take away all the shocks that we had, which are real shocks, this economy would have been at a much better place than we are ending up with.<\/p>\n \u201cBut where we are now, if you look at this year, the first three quarters that have come, the economy is growing about 7%. This then indicates to you that when you get to 2025, you have that momentum going forward which will drive growth. That must be noted.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, the economy went down, but the Akufo-Addo\/Bawumia administration brought it back. So, it is never true that during the campaign, we run away from the conversation about the economy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n Stay in private sector if unprepared to work hard \u2013 Mahama warns potential appointees<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
