Criss Waddle has taken a bold stance against outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, delivering a scathing critique following the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) landslide victory in the 2024 general elections.
The rapper shared his frustrations in a fiery post on social media platform X.
“You arrested almost everyone who spoke against your party, making sure even journalists lost their freedom of speech,” he wrote, accusing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of stifling dissent.
According to Waddle, the administration crippled businesses not aligned with its interests and imposed crippling taxes while Ghanaians struggled with hunger.
He also lambasted the controversial National Cathedral project, criticizing it as a misplaced priority in the face of widespread unemployment.
“Almost the whole country cried, begged, and said, ‘We don’t need a cathedral right now. We need employment.’ But you said, ‘NEVER. I’m still building it.’”
Waddle’s sharp words extended to what he described as authoritarian tendencies, alleging that traditional leaders were compelled to show undue reverence to the president.
“You ordered the chiefs to stand up and greet you as if sitting down to greet you would take away their blessings and good policies,” he remarked.
Reflecting on the past eight years, Waddle described the NPP’s tenure as one defined by oppression, likening it to military rule.
“For eight years, we were all under your military rule. Unless a person shouted, ‘Ajei, I’m hungry or I’m hurting,’ you would arrest or cripple them.
“Herh, we suffered ooo,” he expressed, his words resonating with many who shared similar sentiments about the administration’s governance.
