Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has warned that a vote to keep the PNP government in power is a vote for a better future for all Ghanaians.
According to him, the administration led by Akufo-Addo has proven its effectiveness in the last four years than the previous government led by John Mahama between 2008 and 2012.
Speaking on Cape Coast-based Eagle FM on Sunday, November 1, the vice president argued that the NPP has a history of revitalizing the economy after previous governments mismanaged it.
“The December 7 elections are a determining factor for the future of Ghana. If you look closely at the country since 1957, you will realize that as one government makes positive advances with the country, another, when elected, takes us in a backward direction.
“When you think about the mandate of former President Kufuor, you would understand that he came at a time when the country was in financial crisis, but he came to fix the economy. Before leaving, Ghana saw so many initiatives that we did not know about, ”said the vice president.
Referring to the state of the economy between 2008 and 2012, he added that the NDC’s performance was dismal and that Ghanaians should not repeat a previous mistake.
“Before President Kufour left office, we advised Ghanaians to entrust the country a little more in the hands of the PNP by voting for Nana Akufo-Addo, to continue with the former president’s plans and for the NDC to roll back the economy. But they didn’t listen.
“When the NDC came, they came along with ‘dumsor’, they ruined the NHIS and the National Ambulance Service, they didn’t pay the allowances for teacher and nurse training. They also froze employment and public service because they could not pay employees. In fact, they proved our point, ”he said.
Consequently, Dr. Bawumia reported that the electorates will vote for the PNP in December 2020, given the party’s determination to continue the implementation of the development policies it had introduced in 2016.
“Our biggest initiative is the SHS Free policy. They told us it is impossible, but we responded by saying that the funds will be generated when we get to fix the economy.
“We may not see a full impact now, but in another 10 to 15 years, Ghana will be a very different place, because we will have a very educated workforce.”
