Minister of Lands and Natural Resources-designate, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah was asked to apologize for his comments made against former Akufo-Addo in his last State of the Nation Address by Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah while serving as Minority Leader in the 8th Parliament described Akufo-Addo as Ghana’s worst president ever on January 3, 2025.
Annoh-Dompreh at the vetting of Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah as the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources-designate demanded an apology.
Mr. Armah-Kofi Buah however clarified that his remarks were about the government of Akufo-Addo and not his person.
“Mr. Speaker I believe as Minority Leader on the day I had a duty to perform and that was exactly what I did. I know the task of a President is very difficult and I will not openly disrespect anybody who has been in that office”.
“However, what I said to the best of my knowledge reflected the will of the Ghanaian public and if the words I used sounded harsh then I apologize. But the remarks were never about him Akufo-Addo personally but the performance of his government,” he said.
