The running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has described the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government’s performance as abysmal and called on Ghanaians to vote for change.
She prevailed upon supporters and sympathisers of the ruling NPP to look beyond their partisan affiliation and interest, be sincere about the abysmal state of Ghana’s economy and exercise a vote of no confidence in the government by voting them out on December 7.
“A political party is not like a family which bonds you by blood. You are free to change party and vote for a party that can truly improve your livelihood and develop the nation,” she advised.
The former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast urged Ghanaians to make an informed voter choice based on the current state of the economy and its impact on their lives and businesses.
She stressed it was important that Ghanaians derived value from voting for national development and called for ruling parties that failed on their mandate to be rejected at the polls. She encouraged the citizens to make the right decision by voting for the NDC to guarantee the safety and progress of the country.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang made the call when addressing a mammoth durbar of traders at the Odorkor market in Accra on Monday as part of her campaign tour of markets in the Greater Accra region.
On vote buying, she advised voters to take whatever gifts and money the NPP is sharing to sway their votes and still vote against them
She noted that it is time for Ghanaians to unite against poverty, underdevelopment and deceit, giving the assurance that former President John Mahama is a trustworthy leader who has the experience to navigate the country out of the hardship created by the mismanagement of the NPP government.
She said all attempts by the NPP government to discredit the NDC flagbearer have failed, saying it is now clear to Ghanaians who the corrupt and incompetent people are.
The NDC running mate appealed for the support of all, especially traders to enable the return of the NDC to power, reset the country and build the ‘Ghana we want together.’
“We have done it before, so when we say we shall do this andthat, we know what we are talking about because we know how to do it better for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” she assured.
