Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah, a member of the NPP National Communications Team, has strongly criticized the NDC for their persistent attacks on the ruling government, accusing them of being desperate for power without the ability to deliver meaningful progress.
According to Gyewu-Appiah, no matter what the NPP accomplishes, the NDC will never be satisfied.
Speaking on Think Tv's political talk show, SE NO PEI, he said "The NDC is simply desperate for power. Even when they had the chance to lead, they failed to make any substantial impact," Gyewu-Appiah stated.
"There’s nothing the NPP can do that will ever please them, but we remain focused on our mission."
He acknowledged the economic challenges facing the country but emphasized that the NPP is actively addressing them.
"Yes, we have admitted that there are difficulties, but we are working tirelessly to overcome them. Let's not forget that the Unemployed Graduates Association was formed during the NDC era, a clear sign of their failure to address the needs of the youth," Gyewu-Appiah pointed out.
Mr. Gyewu-Appiah also questioned former President John Mahama's leadership, particularly his lack of attention to the Unemployed Graduates Association during his first term.
"If you’re a leader who doesn’t care about your subordinates, then it’s evident you don’t care about the nation. Mahama should have addressed the concerns of the Unemployed Graduates Association early on, but he chose to ignore them."
He dismissed the NDC's allegations that the NPP has stolen their manifesto promises, citing the failed Hope City project as an example of the NDC's own unfulfilled promises.
"In 2013, Mahama promised the Hope City project, and to this day, nothing has been done.
The NDC hasn’t even launched their manifesto yet, so how can we steal from them? The truth is, the NDC has an agenda, but we in the NPP are smart and will not let the opposition deceive the public."
Highlighting the NPP's achievements, Mr. Gyewu-Appiah noted the revamping of the railway sector and various promises made by Dr. Bawumia, including incentives for nurses and a pledge to remove taxes on import duties.
"Dr. Bawumia has outlined a clear plan for the future, including the introduction of the National Aged Policy Act to support the elderly and a flat tax rate.
"The Agricultural Development Bank of Ghana will also receive incentives to be shared among farmers, boosting agricultural productivity."
He further praised the effectiveness of initiatives under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership, such as the functioning of pipelines and the installation of CCTV cameras on roads to enhance security.
"Under Bawumia, the pipeline is working effectively, and CCTV cameras are operational on our roads, making them safer for all."
Mr. Gyewu-Appiah also criticized Mahama's tenure, calling him the "worst president under the Fourth Republic." He argued that Mahama failed to acknowledge the achievements of his predecessor, the late President Mills.
"Late President Mills accomplished much, including the Ridge Hospital and the Kotokraba Market, but Mahama has taken credit for these projects without giving Mills the recognition he deserves."
In conclusion, Gyewu-Appiah affirmed the NPP’s commitment to progress and expressed confidence in the party’s ability to lead Ghana to greater heights. "The NPP is delivering results, and under Dr. Bawumia's leadership, we will continue to build a brighter future for all Ghanaians."
