Be cautious of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 slogan, “It is possible,” because the ruling party cannot deliver on its promises, running mate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has cautioned.
The former education minister urged Ghanaian voters to closely examine the NPP’s promises and analyse the reality of their performance when making electoral judgements.
She stated this during a meeting with female media workers in Accra. Prof. Opoku-Agyemang questioned the NPP’s track record, citing recent events as proof of their failure to meet their obligations.
She referred to pensioner bondholders’ picketing at the Finance Ministry, demanding the release of their money.
“At a time of different haircuts, and at a time old people picketing at the ministry of finance…at that time they also thought that none of this will happen, they didn’t even imagine that it is possible. But that has been possible, so when you hear about it is possible, think about it. It is possible to picket at the Ministry of Finance, it’s possible to have a different style or haircut,” she said.
She strongly dismissed criticisms that the NDC lacks ideas and the vision to govern effectively if elected.
“When we say it is a people’s manifesto, we mean it, I keep saying that you can just shut a couple of us in a room for a couple of weeks and we can draft one for you nicely. But for who are you doing the manifesto for? Does it include journalists? Yes, it includes journalists of many areas of focus.
“But what about the women? What is worrying them that we have to know? And if you don’t talk to them as a group, how will you know? It’s not that you lack ideas, no, those are childish. We’re a serious party. That is why we’re engaging all of you,” he said.
