In the narrative, a war of words has errupted between Ablakwa and Miracles Aboagye concerning the NDC ‘s Hope City Project.
Ablakwa ‘s sharp critique of the project’s progress, or lack thereof, has been met with an equally pointed rebuttal from Miracles Aboagye, shining a spotlight on the complex interplay of politics, promises, and public accountability in the nation.
Ablakwa, in a media engagement at the project site in Accra, did not mince words as he demanded full accountability for the funds expended on what he described as the “world’s most expensive pit.”
His commentary highlighted a series of unresolved issues surrounding the project, including unfulfilled promises, financial opacity, and the displacement of several important institutions and residences.
With the ambitious project stalled and the intended commissioning date unmet, Ablakwa ‘s criticisms resonate with calls for transparency and fiscal responsibility, especially concerning a project touted by President Akufo-Addo as a “priority of priorities.”
In response, Dennis Miracles Aboagye turned the spotlight back on the critics, particularly focusing on the track record of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding infrastructure projects.
Miracles Aboagye ‘s retort painted a picture of missed opportunities and unfulfilled commitments by the NDC, ranging from incomplete hospital projects to the ill-fated Hope City project, which, despite its fanfare and international media attention, failed to materialize into concrete reality.

Miracles Aboagye’s counterarguments serve not only as a defense of the current administration’s handling of the National Cathedral project but also as a critique of the opposition’s past failures in governance.
By pointing out the discrepancies between promises and achievements of the NDC, Miracles Aboagye seeks to redirect the conversation towards a broader examination of political accountability and efficiency in project execution.
This back-and-forth between Okudzeto Ablakwa and Miracles Aboagye encapsulates the broader debates surrounding the National Cathedral project.
On one hand, there are genuine concerns about the prioritization of resources, transparency, and the displacement caused by the project.
On the other hand, there is a call to reflect on the consistency of political critique and the historical context of project management in Ghana.
As this debate unfolds, it is clear that the National Cathedral project is more than just a construction endeavor; it has become a litmus test for governance, accountability, and the alignment of national priorities.
Whether these discussions will catalyze greater transparency and reevaluation of the project’s scope and execution remains to be seen.
What is certain, however, is the enduring importance of public engagement and scrutiny in shaping the nation’s development trajectory.
