A pro-activist of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), known as Gen. Buhari on the social media platform X, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for their alleged role in the collapse and sale of over 300 state-owned factories during the administration of Jerry John Rawlings.

This action, he said, was carried out under the P.N.D.C.L. 326 - the Divestiture of State Interests (Implementation) Act, 1993.

The Divestiture of State Interests (Implementation) Act, 1993, was an act that provided for the divestiture of interests of the Republic in corporate and other bodies.

Gen. Buhari noted in his post that "Kwame Nkrumah believed in Industrialization, he put up factories but unfortunately the (P)NDC collapsed all those factories through a law they initiated which is the 'Divestiture Act' & turned some of the factories into Churches. Years down the lane, another President who believed in Industrialization, Akufo-Addo, emerged and initiated a policy that seeks to put up factories across the length and breadth of our country through a private-led drive named 1 District 1 Factory. Nkrumah is gone but his vision continues for industrialization."

Gen. Buhari's remarks referenced a submission by Miracles Aboagye, the Director of Communications for the campaign team of the NPP's flagbearer.

Aboagye revealed that some of the factories allegedly sold by the NDC included notable establishments such as Kwame Nkrumah Catering Rest Houses, Ghacem Cement, Nsawam Cannery, Kanda GNTC, Atlantic Hotel, Abosso Glass Factory, and Gliksen W/A Company.
