Mr John Dramani Mahama, Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), says Ghanaians should vote and return his Party to power as citizens “cannot endure” additional days of “maladministration” under the New Patriotic Party administration, beyond January 7, 2025.
Speaking at the NDC Manifesto launch in Winneba, he maintained that the nation was heading towards “the wrong direction” under the NPP, hence his determination to lead the country on a new course for national development.
He described the current NPP government has “the biggest scam pulled on Ghana since 1957”, adding that President Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia “have been prominent actors in the horror movie Ghanaians have watched in the last eight years”.
Mr Mahama likened the NPP administration to the “Parable of Talents” in the Bible, stressing that President Akufo-Addo and Vice, Dr. Bawumia, “have gambled with the talents Ghanaians gave them”.
“In the case of Akufo Addo and Bawumia, they did not bury the one talent…They gambled with the one talent we gave them and landed the people of Ghana in a huge debt.
“We cannot continue on this path; lessons must be learnt from the experience in the [almost] last eight years…A vote for the NPP will be an expression of satisfaction of the impunity of the last eight years,” Mr Mahama stated.
The former President said his administration would investigate the “Gold for Oil” policy instituted by the NPP administration.
He said the NDC would restore “the future of the country back into the hands of the Ghanaians”, and among other things, reduce import duties and other levies, including tax on betting income.
Mr Fiifi Kwetey, General Secretary, NDC, said the Party’s manifesto “delivers promises that are achievable,” and that, competition for power should not be about who [political party] can make more promises.”
Mr Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman, NDC, also called on the electorate to vote for the NDC to reset Ghana.
