Ghana is making progress, according to New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Bosiako, also referred to as Chairman Wontumi.
He claimed that the nation has changed under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’sNewPatriotic Party (NPP) administration.
The loud-mouthed Chairman argued that Ghana is currently performing better than London in the United Kingdom.
On December 7, 2023, he spoke on Asempa FM and urged Ghanaians to vote for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next president in order to support the continuation of the current government.
“I came to Accra the last time and I used the Labone, Cantonments, and East Legon stretch, and you can see that Ghana is changing and now I can say that Ghana is better than London because if you look at different story buildings that are under construction and all, it means that we are working in this country, the country is changing and it’s changing for good.
“ …and I am pleased as a Ghanaian, that’s why I am saying we should vote for Dr. Bawumia to continue the good work,” he said
He claims that since President Akufo-Addo took office, the nation has experienced growth and development.
Meanwhile, former president and National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama has insisted on implementing his 24-hour economy proposal if voted into office.
During his speech at the 19th Ghana CEO Network Business Cocktail, Mr. Mahama put forth his alternate plan, the “24-hour economy,” which he describes as a carefully considered project.
He said the 24-hour economy is not just a political promise but he will vigorously pursue it to revive Ghana’s economy which has been messed up by President Akufo-Addo led NPP government.
He explained, “The 24-hour economy initiative was well-thought-through and captured on page 105 of the NDC’s 2020 People’s Manifesto. Indeed, its roots emanate from the 40-year National Development Plan, the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) put together when I was President.”
According to the former president, the 24-hour economy policy will go a long way to address and reduce unemployment problems among the youth and companies will also benefit at large.
