“Maybe when he [Akufo-Addo] leaves and he’s gone, then we will miss him. We will notice it, but not now. After he’s long gone, they’ll say it,” he stated.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to the country’s future is evident through the investments made during his tenure.
“The way he thinks about the country because of the things that he does to make sure that every child has an opportunity in the future, later on, we will see it,” he said.
While acknowledging the challenges faced by the current administration, Otchere-Darko underscored the significant achievements of the NPP government over the past eight years.

He also stressed the importance of effective communication to articulate these accomplishments.
“There’s been challenges; there’s no two ways about it, but in recognizing the challenges, also recognize the work that has been done. I think they [the NPP] have a lot to celebrate if they can articulate their deeds better,” he said.
Gabby, tagged as a very influential figure in Akufo-Addo’s government, albeit without any official position, has been vocal in defending the president’s achievements.
