Asenso-Boakye picks Akufo-Addo over Kufour as the best president NPP has produced
Asenso specifically praised Akufo-Addo’s leadership during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic, asserting that the situation could have been worse under a different president.
The Minister of Works and Housing and Member of Parliament for Bantama, Francis Asenso Boakye, has hailed President Akufo-Addo as the most exceptional president produced by the New Patriotic Party.
He specifically praised Akufo-Addo’s leadership during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic, asserting that the situation could have been worse under a different president.
Asenso Boakye expressed the belief that Ghanaians will both celebrate and feel the absence of Akufo-Addo for his distinctive governance in the upcoming years.
During an interview on Starr FM on February 1, 2024, when questioned about the comparison between Kufour and Akufo-Addo in terms of presidency, Asenso Boakye confidently described Akufo-Addo as the superior president.
He elaborated on his stance by highlighting that while former President Kufour had also served as the leader of the NPP, Akufo-Addo’s current circumstances and the decisions made under his leadership set him apart as the optimal choice.
“Kufour has played his part and he has left and Akufo-Addo is actually on it. The decisions and the circumstances under his leadership are totally different from those of President Kufour.
“I’ll choose Akufo-Addo because he has worked directly and I know him and I’ve benefitted from his leadership, his wise counsel, and everything, even though President Kufour is also more like a father to me.”
