President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has rebuked Kofi Ofosu Nkansah over claims suggesting that the Akufo-Addo administration laid the foundation for the revitalisation of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR).
The exchange was triggered by a Facebook post from Kofi Ofosu Nkansah which was sighted by MyNewsGh, who questioned whether the current NDC administration could clearly explain what it had added to TOR to justify taking credit for its revival.
In his post, Ofosu Nkansah argued that the Akufo-Addo government had already secured a non-collateralised $240 million investment to rehabilitate and expand the refinery, insisting that the new administration must demonstrate what additional value it has brought.
“Can the NDC administration tell us exactly what they have added to TOR to claim the credit for its revitalisation?” Ofosu Nkansah asked, asserting that the previous government had made tangible progress toward restoring the refinery.
However, Franklin Cudjoe swiftly rejected that narrative, delivering a blunt rebuttal in the comments section. “Bros, please don’t do this to yourself,” he wrote, directly addressing Ofosu Nkansah.
Cudjoe dismissed the claim that the Akufo-Addo government secured or implemented any meaningful intervention to revive TOR, describing the assertion as misleading. “Nana Addo and his kith and kin did nothing of the sort you are describing,” he stated.
According to the IMANI Africa boss, far from revitalising the refinery, the former administration presided over its total collapse. “They simply pillaged and rendered TOR moribund, actually dead,” Cudjoe said.
