OKUDZETO ABLAKWA HAS DONE NOTHING WORTHY OF PRAISE. HE IS ONLY TRYING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.
There are those who might disagree with me but truth be told; Okudzeto Ablakwa has done nothing new as far as his populist approach towards NaBCo beneficiaries in North Tongu (his constituency) is concerned.
We have come to accept that one cannot put something on nothing and yet, expect it to stand.
NABCo, even before its inception, had received the highest level condemnation from the leadership of NDC in varying degrees.
1. On May 7, 2018; Alhassan Suhuyini (Tamale North NDC MP) downplayed the efficacy of NABCo and described it as red herring meant to bag in votes for the NPP.

2. On 10th May, 2018, the leadership of NDC were able to convince its members to go on rampage against NABCo thereby painting the flagship program a hoax.

3. Equally, former President John Mahama has on countless occasions downplayed the efficacy of NABCo for political gains.
These afore-mentioned events sum up to support the assertion that, indeed Okudzeto Ablakwa has done nothing worthy of praise.
NaBCo already has its own designed supportive policy (exit plan). Government through YouStart (YouBanc) plans to absorb beneficiaries as part of the 1million job it intends to create over a 3-year period with a seed fund of Ghc 1billion.
(2022 budget, Pgs 61, 92, 93, 215, 242, 243, 244, 250, 256 and 262).
In conclusion, it will be preposterous on anyone's part to take a u-turn, as if to assist, the very same program they condemned as though the engineers of such flagship program did not have a better future for the program during its designing stage.
Let's protect the legacies of the Nana-Addo led government lest others try to do what has already been done.
