Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh has taken a swipe at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its weird decision to promote a ‘24 24-hour Night Clubs’ should they win the December 7 polls.
Without mincing words, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), nicknamed as ‘Napo’, condemned the NDC policy, which he strongly argued, would not benefit the country and its people.
According to Napo, the NDC's plans to promote a 24-hour nightclub is a strong indication that they (NDC) lack ideas and also don't have the interest and well-being of the people, especially the energetic youth, at heart.
Instead of 24-hour nightclubs, he said Dr Mahamadu Bawumia and the NPP, who have the country at heart, would rather empower the people, notably the youth, with valuable skills, which would enhance their future.
"The NPP and our Presidential Candidate, Dr Bawumia. has the interest and welfare of the citizens at heart, so we will empower them with valuable skills and not a 24-hour night club, which is of no benefit", he noted.
Napo, who spoke during the 2nd annual conference of Ghana Unity Professional Tailors and Dressmakers Association on Friday, stated that the NDCs 24-hour nightclub promise shows the NDC's gross incompetence.
The programme was under the theme 'Peaceful Elections 2024, the desire of fashion designers'. It was held on the campus of Wenchi Farms Institute in the Bono Region.
The NPP, Napo clearly explained, believes in skills development so it would continue to prioritize Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) when Dr. Bawumia, God willing, becomes president on January 7, 2025.
He believed that skills development could help reduce unemployment as more people would become gainfully employed, financially sound, and well-positioned to fend for themselves and contribute to the development of the economy.
Napo also said the NPP is the only government that usually introduces policies that benefit businesses and artisans so he reiterated his call on the electorates to renew the mandate of the NPP when they exercise their franchise on December 7.
The NPP running mate sternly cautioned the electorates against the temptation of voting for the incompetent NDC, whom he accused of always introducing policies that tend to collapse businesses in the country and deepening hardship.
He reminded Ghanaians, especially artisans and business owners that the NDC plunged the country into total darkness also known as ‘Dumsor’ in the local parlance, when they were in government, which collapsed businesses so they should reject the NDC and ex-President Mahama.
According to Napo, it took the timely intervention of the NPP government before the Dumsor menace was effectively dealt with, which saved the work of artisans.
He therefore warned that the NDC and John Mahama are still incompetent, so they will return the country to Dumsor if they mistakenly get access to power again, reiterating his appeal for Ghanaians to retain the NPP in power.
