“The NDC’s reset means canceling the free Senior High School (SHS) social intervention policy and going back to gloomy days of Dumsor,” says Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, aka ‘Napo’, the vice-presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He said the content of the NDCs 2024 manifesto does not bring any hope. Rather, it poses great danger to the progress of the country, so the NDC should be rejected.
The NPP running mate indicated that the NDC, particularly former President Mahama, would bring back the power crisis, popularly known as ‘Dumsor’.
He painfully recounted how businesses collapsed when the NDC administration, led by ex-President Mahama, plunged the country into ‘Dumsor’ for four consecutive years.
Napo sternly cautioned the electorates that if they mistakenly vote for John Mahama and the NDC, ‘Dumsor’ will return.
He also warned that the NDC would also scrap the free SHS programme, which has helped scores of Ghanaian youth to realise their ambitions of being in school.
“Under the watch of former President John Mahama, the country suffered severe power crisis in for four continuous years.
“Total mismanagement and bad leadership by John Mahama led us into that hardship, so we shouldn’t give him another chance to restore ‘Dumsor’”, Napo admonished.
According to him, it took the intervention of the President Nana Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government to save the country from the unending power crisis.
“The NPP, after the assumption of power in 2017, implemented better policies to effectively deal with the power crisis once and for all”, the NPP running mate said.
He also cautioned that the “NDC government will not hesitate to scrap the free SHS social intervention programme, so we should never give them the chance to come near power”.
Napo, who was addressing a mammoth crowd at Toase, on Tuesday, urged the citizenry to vote for Dr. Bawumia to save the free SHS policy and also prevent another ‘Dumsor’.
