President Akufo Addo was forced to retract a statement he made at the launch of the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP), a nationwide initiative to improve road conditions in all 275 constituencies
The president as he was touting the performance of his government in the road sector mistakenly mentioned former President John Dramani Mahama instead of his vice Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
We’ve witnessed an extraordinary expansion and improvement in our road network throughout the country.
From 2009 to 2016, that is the Mill-Mahama era, our nation completed 4,636 roads and five interchanges and overpasses.
However, since January 2017 till date, i.e. the Akufo Addo-Mahama era” he said.
The president tried correcting his mistake, but before then many in the audience reacted with an “Eiii”.
The president could be seen covering his mouth after which he said;
That’s unforgivable, That’s unforgivable. I hope you will allow me to withdraw that statement; The Akufo Addo-Bawumia era” he stated.
