General Secretary of NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of eroding the potential of the country.
This accusation was contained in a commemorative statement marking the day Ghana became a republic, today, July 1, 2024.
The General Secretary of the party, Fifi Kwetey, stated that the NPP has worsened the economy and living conditions of Ghanaians.
He asserted that the NPP lacks credibility and patriotism, a situation that has led to a high rate of unemployment.
The statement also encouraged Ghanaian voters to vote massively for former President John Dramani Mahama, asserting that he is the only one with the competence to manage the country better.
"On July 1, 1960, Ghana became an independent republic, with Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah as its first president. This historic day marked the beginning of Ghana's journey as a beacon of progress and a shining star of Africa. Today, however, the promise of those early years has been overshadowed by the failures of the current NPP administration.
A leadership lacking in credibility and patriotism has led to an economy in disarray, with youth unemployment at an all-time high and the quality of our education and healthcare systems in rapid deterioration. Citizens are burdened with excessive taxes, businesses are struggling to survive, and the hope and dignity of our people are at their lowest ebb.
We are aware of the NPP's desperation to cling to power and their palpable attempts to subvert the will of the people. Therefore, we urge you to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities. The NDC is committed to partnering with you to ensure a fair and transparent election process.
Let us unite behind the NDC and wage a successful 2024 election campaign to bring about the change we seek. H.E. John Mahama is the leader Ghana needs. His vision for a prosperous, inclusive Ghana, combined with his unparalleled experience, makes him the ideal candidate.
Under his previous tenure, he achieved significant improvements in infrastructure, healthcare, and education. His administration was marked by transparency and accountability, demonstrating a genuine concern for the people. H.E. John Mahama embodies integrity, credibility, and a commitment to public service—essential qualities to restore hope and drive meaningful change in Ghana."
