The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, is urging Ghanaians to come together and vote out the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia governmet.
She says this will help to reset the country and save the people from the downward spiral.
Addressing NDC members and supporters at Adaklu Waya on Tuesday as part of her campaign tour of the Volta Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said it is only her party’s presidential candiate, Mr John Dramani Mahama, who has the needed experience to lead Ghanaians out of the current economic mess.
"In the process of resetting, it is very important; that we should be mindful of the person who is leading us, we need a leader who will tell us the truth, a leader who will not lie to us, a leader who respects, a leader who inspires, a leader who is so confident that when he makes a mistake he will accept it and leader who will take us forward", she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said Mr Mahama has all the qualities of a good leader, adding that he would deliver to the satisfaction of all Ghanaians. She said the NPP vilified and lied against Mr Mahama when he was president but time has vindicated him.
"Let us all be very careful. Now who are the guilty ones?”, she asked, adding “The people who accused him, now stand guilty.
Prof Opoku-Agyemang said the next NDC government would initiate policies and programmes to ease the hardship confronting the people. This would include empowering the youth through job creation, she said.
She cited the NDC’s planned 24-Hour Economy, the National Apprenticeship Programme, the Women's Development Bank and the Big Push as some of the policies and programmes deliberately crafted to financially empower women, provide jobs and alleviate the suffering of the ordinary Ghanaian.
Prof Opoku-Agyemang therefore urged the electorate to vote for Mr John Dramani Mahama in the presidential election as well as NDC candidates in the parliamentary elections.
