On Wednesday 7th October 2020, Mr Osafo Raphael Patrick (Senior communication team member of the ruling New Patriotic Party) stated on the Oyerepa Breakfast Show that the NDC and John Dramani Mahama made sure that the Ashanti Region never got the development they deserved from 2008 to 2016 under the NDC regime; they neglected the unfinished works of former president John Agyekum Kuffour.
