Asiedu Nketia noted in an interview with Joy News on the back of the President’s 20th COVID-19 address on Sunday, December 20, “if we’re going to die, many more people can die of bad governance than COVID-19. So, you [Akufo-Addo] must fix the governance system.”
Citing the killings at some polling stations and other electoral violence which characterised the just-ended polls, the NDC scribe observed that gunshots kill faster than COVID-19.
“If I’m affected by COVID-19 now, I have a chance of surviving and it will take me some time to solve. But if the shooting that is going on now… If they shoot me now, won’t I die? And I will die faster than the COVID-19.”
Asiedu Nketia urged the government to “fix the wrong things that are threatening to throw this country into explosion than to be talking about COVID-19 at this stage”.
The NDC has rejected the presidential election verdict announced by the Electoral Commission which declared Nana Akufo-Addo president-elect.
