Disregard CDD survey, it's the same as NPP campaign message - Kofi Adams

The latest survey by the Centre for Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) which says about 70 percent of Ghanaians believe that the nation is headed in the wrong direction has been described by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a reflection of the opposition party’s campaign message.

According to Kofi Adams, National Organiser and campaign coordinator of the NDC, the party does not trust the CDD and its findings because they are an appendage of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The CDD on Tuesday released a two-week survey which stated that, “seven in 10 Ghanaians believe the country is going in the wrong direction; and nearly half blame this ‘completely’ or ‘mostly’ on the government. Only a quarter think the country is headed in the right direction".

The survey, conducted from a sample size of 2,400 adult Ghanaians cutting across 163 districts and 291 towns and villages, also pointed that nearly half of the populace approved of the president’s leadership skills and performance.

But speaking to Accra-based Kasapa FM on Wednesday, Mr Adams said, “we in the NDC don’t work with the CDD because they are an NPP affiliated group; we have long held this view. We’ve always insisted they are biased towards NPP.

"If you take a look at their report, it is not different from what Nana Akufo-Addo says when he goes on campaign; their report is essentially a repeat of NPP views,” he added.
