Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate to NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, has encouraged Ghanaians to assess their voting decisions by considering the current economic climate and how it affects their personal and professional lives.
She emphasized the need for voters, especially those who are in favor of the ruling party, to critically assess the government’s performance and vote for change.
“A political party is not like a family which bonds you by blood. You are free to change parties and vote for a party that can truly improve your livelihood and develop the nation,” she said.
During a large gathering of traders at the Odorkor market in Accra on Monday, as part of her campaign tour across Greater Accra, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang emphasized the importance of ensuring that voting translates into tangible benefits for Ghanaians.
She stated that the core purpose of voting should be to drive national development across all sectors. In her view, a government that fails to deliver the expected progress and development should not remain in power.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged voters to make a prudent choice by supporting the NDC, which she believes will ensure both the safety and advancement of the country.
“The government will come with sweet promises, gifts and money to buy your votes. Take the money because it is your money, but vote against them,” she advised the traders.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang highlighted the urgency for Ghanaians to come together in the fight against poverty, underdevelopment, and deceit.
She assured that former President John Dramani Mahama is a reliable leader with the experience needed to steer the country away from the difficulties caused by the current NPP government’s mismanagement.
She pointed out that every effort by the NPP government to tarnish the reputation of the NDC’s flagbearer has been unsuccessful, making it evident to Ghanaians who the truly corrupt and incompetent figures are.
“We shall continue to be truthful to Ghanaians,” she said, indicating that the mission of the NDC is to use its experience to get the country back on track with progress.
“We have done it before, so when we say we shall do this and that, we know what we are talking about because we know how to do it better for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang appealed to everyone, especially traders, for support to bring the NDC back into power, reset the nation, and collectively build the Ghana we aspire to have.
