“A Region Full of Scholars, Yet NPP Chooses Wontumi” – NDC’s Eric Adjei Questions NPP Leadership
NEIP CEO Eric Adjei Accuses NPP of Self-Destruction and Poor Leadership Choices Following 2024 Election
- NEIP CEO labels NPP’s post-election "Thank You" tour a "Demolition Tour"
- Adjei questions NPP's leadership choices
- Adjei cautions NDC youth not to squander their opportunity
Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Eric Adjei, has sharply criticized the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) following internal tensions that have erupted during their ongoing “Thank You” tour after the 2024 election.
Speaking on the Ghana Se Sen Morning Show on Lawson TV/Radio, Mr. Adjei accused the NPP of turning their post-election tour into a “Demolition Tour” rather than a tour of gratitude, pointing out that instead of uniting, the party members are publicly attacking one another.
“This isn’t a Thank You tour — it’s a demolition tour. Honestly, it would be better if they just stayed home,” Adjei quipped.
The NEIP CEO went on to question the party’s leadership, especially in light of the region’s rich intellectual heritage. He criticized the party for choosing figures like Chairman Wontumi and Abronye over more accomplished individuals.
“A region full of scholars, yet NPP chooses Wontumi as a leader. How do you end up with such choices in a place that has intellectual giants like Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Appiah Menka, and former President Kufuor?” Adjei asked.
Adjei also took aim at Wontumi for flaunting his wealth on television, calling it a reflection of the type of leadership the NPP is fostering.
“Wontumi showing gold on his TV station to display his wealth, that’s the kind of character they’re nurturing in the party,” he said.
He further criticized the party’s public figures like Kennedy Agyapong, Wontumi, and Abronye, questioning why they are the ones given the platform to represent the party.
“If you want wise voices to speak, you shouldn’t give the platform to people like Kennedy, Wontumi, and Abronye,” Adjei added. “Bawumia himself admitted that the $58 million allocated to the National Cathedral contributed to their defeat. So, if Nana Akufo-Addo called you an economic wizard, what advice did you give him?”
In closing, Adjei urged the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth not to waste the opportunity they have been given by President Mahama.
“This is your chance. If you mess it up, that’s your end,” he warned.
