Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh insists the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) needs another term to complete the numerous developmental projects that’s ongoing across the country.
According to him, the President Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government is currently working on several projects in the health, education, roads, and other sectors to improve the lives of the people.
He sternly cautioned that if the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) wins the impending polls, all the projects started by the NPP administration will stall.
The NDC, Dr. Prempeh said, has a track record of always abandoning projects which were started by their predecessors to better the lives of the people whenever they win an election.
The NPP vice presidential candidate painfully recounted how Euroget projects, started by former President Kufuor’s government, were neglected to rot when the NDC won the 2008 general election.
According to Dr. Prempeh, aka ‘NAPO’, it took the timely intervention of the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia administration before the Euroget projects were eventually saved and completed for public use.
Speaking at Ayomso in the Asunafo South Constituency in the Ahafo Region, NAPO warned that the Agenda 111 health facilities, which are under construction, would be made to rot by the NDC.
Likewise, he said the famous Free Senior High School (SHS) social intervention policy, which has significantly increased enrollment in schools, will also be scrapped by any NDC government.
“The NDC are nation wreckers, so if they get access to political power again, they will definitely abandon all the ongoing NPP projects that are meant to improve the lives of the people," he warned.
NAPO also said the NPP has not completed all their projects “but we are in a better position to complete them than the NDC,” reiterating his call on the electorates to retain the NPP in political office.
