Vice Presidential running mate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for election 2024, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has stated that the National Democratic Congress' promise to reset the country on the path of progress simply means they'll derail the gains made by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration.
Dr Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, said “The NDC’s reset means canceling the Free Senior High School (SHS) social intervention policy and taking the country back to the gloomy days of 'Dumsor”.
He said the NDC's 2024 manifesto inspires no hope, but rather threatens the progress of the country.
He thus urged Ghanaians to reject the party at the polls.
The NPP running mate indicated that the NDC, and particularly the former President Mahama, would bring back the power crisis popularly known as ‘Dumsor’.
He painfully recounted how businesses collapsed when the NDC administration, led by former President Mahama, plunged the country into ‘Dumsor’ for several years.
Napo sternly cautioned the electorates that if they mistakenly vote for John Mahama and the NDC, definitely ‘Dumsor’ which Ghanaians are afraid of, will return.
He also warned that the NDC would also scrap the Free SHS programme, which has helped scores of Ghanaian youth to realize their ambitions of being in school.
“Under the watch of former President John Mahama, the country suffered a severe power crisis also known as ‘Dumsor’ in the local parlance for four continuous years.
“Total mismanagement and bad leadership by John Mahama led us into that hardship, so we shouldn’t give him another chance to restore ‘Dumsor’”, Napo admonished.
According to him, it took the intervention of President Akufo-Addo-Bawumia's government to save the country from the seeming unending power crisis.
“The NPP after the assumption of office in 2017 implemented better policies to effectively deal with the power crisis once and for all”, the NPP running mate said.
He also cautioned that an “NDC government will not hesitate to scrap the free SHS programme so we should never give them the chance to come near power”.
Napo, who was addressing a mammoth crowd at Toase in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, urged the citizenry to vote for Dr Bawumia to save the free SHS policy and also prevent another ‘Dumsor’.
