NPP Secretary General Justin Frimpong Kodua has said that confidence in the Akufo-Addo government remains high. He claimed that even though things are tough right now, the people of Ghana still trust their administration.
Mr. Koduah said that things would be even worse if the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) had been in charge.
On Citi TV’s Face to Face with Umaru Sanda Amadu, Mr. Koduah said that Ghanaians still had faith in the administration despite the economic hardships, and he expressed hope that they could break into the top eight in the 2024 elections.
He said, “Ghanaians still have confidence in this government despite the economic challenges, because they know that between the NDC and the NPP, NPP are better managers of the economy than the NDC. Ghanaians also appreciate the fact that had it not been NPP in power, and if it were the NDC, the situation would have been worse off than what we are experiencing now. I’m telling you if NDC were in government, the situation would have been worse off.”
“Even without any COVID-19 or Russian-Ukraine war, they [NDC] wouldn’t have been able to manage the economy well. We saw what happened under H. E. President John Mahama’s tenure– four years of ‘Dumsor, the scrapping of the teacher/nursing trainee allowances, among others”.
“Ghana was touted as the fast-growing economy in the world until COVID-19. At the end of the day, we will come out of the challenges, unlike the NDC which told Ghanaians that children should stay home and not be allowed to go to school during COVID-19. When we discovered oil, they termed it as coconut oil ‘adwengu’. The same NDC told Ghanaians that free SHS is not possible. Can you tell us that they are better managers of the economy than NPP?” he added.
