The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of lacking the ideas and vision to engage in an issue-based campaign, ahead of the 2020 general elections.
According to the NPP, the content of the press conference by the main opposition on Tuesday, shows clearly that, they have nothing to contribute in the competition of ideas and performances.
At a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, the National Youth Organizer of the party, Nana Boakye (Nana B) accused the NDC of reducing the 2020 campaign to one of playing tribal politics, and their bogus list of family ties against President Akufo-Addo.
“What the NDC is doing is clear that, they want to play the discredited Ashanti vs Akyem card; Akans vs Non-Akans card. It is a hopeless and irresponsible agenda by an opposition party that is empty of ideas and empty on performance,” he stated.
The NDC, he said, should tell Ghanaians their alternative for the numerous policies and programmes of the Akufo-Addo government.
“They should tell us their alternative for Free SHS, planting for Food and Jobs, the payment of the various allowances and others,” he added.
The NPP’s National Youth Organizer said the next general elections is about Vision 2020, and not for those who have no vision.
“Let us use this opportunity to ask Ghanaians to ask themselves a simple but very important question. Perhaps, the most important question for 2020: What Does John Mahama Stand For? What Does He Believe In? What Is His Vision?”
At least in Akufo-Addo, he said, the Ghanaian people know what he stands for and has been consistent in what he stands for all throughout his political life.
“In 2008 he promised free secondary education. He stuck to it in 2012 and stayed with it in 2016 and has delivered on it in office. He campaigned on Ghana’s industrialization and adding value to our natural resources… Today, he has set up the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation to add value to Ghana’s one billion tonnes of bauxite. It is this same bauxite that John Mahama signed away to his younger brother, Ibrahim Mahama, one week before NPP took office. President John Mahama gave 80% of our bauxite, valued at least $200 billion. Please, listen carefully, over $200 billion, of our national asset was handed over to one person, who is the younger brother of the President who dashed it to him before leaving office. It took the new government and the Supreme Court, in unanimous decision, to show that what John Mahama did was illegal,” he explained.

MASTER TALK LIKE A RESPONSIBLE LEADER.PLS GO TO THE GROUND AND GET FEEDBACK IS THEN THAT YOU WILL KNOW WHETHER THIS GOVT IS ON TOP OR NOT
you can depend on some media houses for damage controls but 2020 well tell
Inasmuch as we cannot trust politicians to speak the truth,it was shameful to say the least,the presser organized by sammy gyamfi.What are the issues..very apparent there alot of teething problems in the country..it makes sense policy alternatives ought to be leading the way much more for a president who feels betrayed by the supposed 'lies' put out by the opposition then causing his huge downfall.Certainly i reckon the electoral votes of the npp will be affected,sure the electoral campaign will be fought on every front but i dont envision Mahama winning..He lacks that x-factor
YOU HAVE CURSED YOURSELF BY INSULTING THE PRESIDENT. WISE PEOPLE DISCUSS ISSUES NOT INSULTS. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN FATHER. MAYBE AKUFFO ADDO'S KITCHEN SELF YOUR FATHER WOULD NOT GET TO SLEEP. HE MIGHT NOT BE EVEN FIT TO BE HIS HOUSE BOY
Don't mind the Ndc, what happened to the bus branding deal given to Selassie Ibrahim, ibrahim mahamaa wife who.we all know was an actress. Please they should spare Ghanaian youth their incompetent behaviour and please Sammy gyamfi guy needs to take his time on issues. The Ghanaian youth is.becoming.more discerning on political issues. Thanks
A China man is now owning the bauxite 100%. Nana B thank you for exposing them.
This NPP GOVERNMENT IS JUST(SIC) SLEEPING, IMPOTENT, CLUELESS
Granting concession to a mining company like Extton Cubic to mine bauxite does not give proceeds from the exploration and the bauxite to Exton cubic. Anglogold ,Rangold, Newmonr,Adamus etc are all mining companies in Ghana. The fact that a mining company has access to a concession, minerals commission spelt out what percentage of how the proceeds will shared between the said mining company. It is ereornous to presumed that if one had a concession is synonymous with owning 100 percent of the proceeds. Look at the empty rhetoric, Ghana beyond aid and as a nation you prepared to grant concession to Sinohydro ,Chinese company and acting with despatch to revoke license of indigenous mining company. No wonder big time Ghanaian businessman like Ndoum,Duffour,Anoabeng, are all suffering under this sleeping,clueless and impotent government.
Mahama was a wrong choice for the ndc. His record smells.
