Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Minister of Food and Agriculture and Member of Parliament for Abetifi Constituency, has stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will send presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama into early retirement in December 2024.
He said this while addressing party supporters after the NPP unity walk at Mpraeso in the Eastern Region on Saturday, March 30, 2024.
According to him, the 2024 general elections is for the youth, and therefore, stressed that Mahama would be retired with President Akufo-Ado.
“The 2024 elections is an election for the youth. Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia is 60 years but John Mahama is 65 years, as well Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, who is also 72 years. If you add the ages of Mahama and Jane Naana, that will be 137 years. Where Ghana has gotten to, it is the young ladies and men who will govern the country so they should go and rest. They will both retire with President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2024,” he stated.
He underscored that while Ghana faced challenges in 2023, the NPP administration has since made progress and implemented policies that have provided relief for the people of Ghana.
“Food inflation which was sixty-one percent is now twenty-seven percent. Dollar is no more nineteen cedis but is now thirteen. People can now see all the good things that the government has put in place, and by December, the dollar will come down as well as prices of food, and we will vote for Dr. Bawumia to win so he can continue the good works of the NPP.”
