Some Ghanaians on twitter have descended heavily on President Nana Akufo-Addo for the tweet about “horrific” accident at Kintampo that has claimed at least 30 lives.
President Nana Akufo-Addo has extended his condolences to the families of those who perished in the Kintampo-Tamale Highway fatality on Monday.
The President also wished the survivors, some of whom sustained various degrees of injuries, a speedy recovery.
But according to some Ghanaians on twitter, they don’t need sympathy from the president, what they need from him is to fix the deplorable roads and construct dual carriage on some of the highways in the country.
Some assert that consoling families of victims of horrifying accidents has become the norm for successive presidents.
On Monday, a Yutong bus, headed to Accra veered off its lane and collided with a Tamale-bound Sprinter.
The impact caused the two vehicles to go up in flames.
Below are some of the tweet
Dabiaa my condolence and sympathy that road is a dead trap

We need dual carriageways in Ghana to help curb the spate of road fatalities. Precious lives are being lost, Mr. President, please do something about this and your name will foreverremain in the hearts of Ghanaians.

Hopefully when you are done with the Cathedral all these problems will stop since the prayers will be heard better there by God

It shouldn't always be about condolences but taking time to fix the bad roads to prevent these accidents, rather than wasting money on unprofitable projects.

"I’d summon the Minister for roads and highway to immediately fix the problem to end accidents on the Kintampo highway"
Very bad bro they just waiting for issues to happen then they send Prayers. They won't go and tackle what actually causes the incident…what a country herh!

This is the Kind of road we need at least to link our major cities while we educate the drivers to adhere to driving rules and less speed pic.twitter.com/4L9hcOjrnJ

This be all what you know to do, what measures have you put in place to take care of this horrific accident that always occurs on that road? Shame Mr President

How can a president be repeating the message of condolences for almost four years without putting measures in place. I think Ghana as a country hasn't been growing due to politics. Both and NPP & NDC are virtually and mentally the same as the only difference is their party colors
