The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Fifi Kwetey has chastised the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for promising Ghanaians heaven but ended up delivering hell.
According to him, Ghanaians should not trust a party that sharply criticized and condemned $1 to Ghc3.9 and now serves Ghanaians with an exchange rate of $1 to Ghc12.6.
“Let us face the truth, the NPP government through Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo promised heaven whilst Ghana was on earth under Mahama and delivered hell to every Ghanaian except their close families and friends. And so how can you trust the NPP going forward? I mean how?,” he stated
Speaking to journalists at the party’s headquarters on Wednesday, February 14, 2024, in response to Dr. Bawumia’s lecture, Mr. Kwetey noted that Dr. Bawumia is suffering from vision defects because a true leader must be endowed with clarity of vision and ability to see but the case for Bawumia is the opposite.
The NDC General Secretary said John Mahama came from the Kwame Nkrumah stock, moulded by Jerry John Rawlings and inspired by Professor Atta Mills and has proven to have so much of the clarity of vision of his illustrious predecessors.
“A true servant leader must be endowed with clarity of vision and ability to see far”, he stressed.
“It takes a visionary to work closely with Prof. Mills to establish the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant. This single infrastructure has represented a massive game-changer within the energy ecosystem of the country.”
The General Secretary is therefore of the view that, former President John Dramani Mahama is the right person to lead and bring the country out of the hardship the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led administration has brought upon Ghanaians.
“John Mahama’s vision for Ghana is not just a series of policies and promises. It is a call to action—a call to believe in the possibility of change, to remember the strength that lies in our unity, and to recognize the power of our voices and our votes to shape the destiny of our country.
“Therefore, I stand before you, not just as the General Secretary of the Great NDC, but as a fellow citizen of Ghana, to issue a clarion call to every Ghanaian: let us rally behind a leader who has demonstrated time and again his commitment to our welfare, his dedication to our progress, and his unwavering resolve to lift Ghana to new heights of glory.
“Let this election be more than just a political contest. Let it be a referendum on the kind of Ghana we want to build for ourselves and for generations yet unborn. Let us choose hope over despair, action over inaction, and progress over stagnation. Let us choose John Dramani Mahama, a leader who embodies the best of our values, our aspirations, and our dreams,” the NDC’s General Secretary stated.
