President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has been in office for about three and half years and he is doing everything in his power to transform the country.
A section of Ghanaians have however expressed concerns about the government's performance, citing areas such as infrastructure, corruption, etc as part of the failures of the Akufo-Addo led NPP government. Other people have also praised the government for being impressed by the government's performance. They cite areas such as free SHS, NABCO, restoration of students allowances, etc. as some of the victories of the Akuffo Addo led administration.
Among the people who are not very happy with Nana Addo's government is his own former best supporter and friend, Kwame Asare Obeng, also known in showbiz circles as A Plus. A-Plus was a very loud critic of the erstwhile Mahama led NDC Government and supporter of Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo. He spoke on several occasions against the ills of the Mahama administration.
After Nana Akufo-Addo won the elections in December 2016, things have suddenly changed for A-Plus. The musician has criticised the Akuffo Addo led government on several occasions.
In his latest attack on the government, A Plus has disclosed his love for the president, but he said he will not vote for him again in 2020.
"I Ilike him and I will not vote for him because I do not like his leadership style and he has not been able to be the strong man we expected him to be.
"Everything is about them; even in Dubai where the climatic conditions are not the best, climate, they import black soil to plant flowers. Here, politicians can have good healthcare and schools but the people cant have it." he said.
He has blasted the government for not decorating the nation in spite of all the good soil that God has blessed us with.
The main motivation of A Plus' sudden change is still not clear to Ghanaians. Some people however allege that the musician wanted to be given some contracts but which was denied him. He has however benefited from some government contracts after Akufo-Addo became president.
