The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) desk has advised the flag bearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Bawumia recently promised free tertiary education for persons with disabilities on his campaign tour.
According to them, the NPP government lacks credibility and cannot simply be trusted when it comes to manifesto promises made to PWDs.
“The NPP and Dr. Bawumia cannot take PWDs for a ride this time around. The disability fraternity has utilized the golden opportunity of observing an alternative government and has measured its true capacity.
"PWDs have deciphered for themselves that it is the NDC that has their welfare at heart and is a party that is often backed by well-grounded and pragmatic policies that will inure to their development and welfare.
“The Desk wishes to advise Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, while he is still in office, to take a humble step backward to attempt fulfilling the said 2016 Manifesto promise made to PWDs within the next seven months left of the NPP before the 2024 Elections.
"If he has anything to say within this period, Ghana fervently prays that he enhances the existing discourse led by the NDC by presenting ONLY original and not plagiarized ideas,” the National Coordinator, Frederick Assor indicated in a press release.
He continued: “There is no way PWDs will make him President in 2024 especially when John Dramani Mahama has presented to them the opportunity of being fully included in a 24-hour Economy.”
