And why would anyone imagine that an NDC administration, under the former President, would treat businesses any differently from what they did the last time around? Fellow Ghanaians, in spite of the unexpected and dramatic entry into our lives by COVID-19, and the subsequent worldwide devastation, we can demonstrate that we have set the economy on a strong foundation, and businesses will flourish. The virus has slowed us down, but it has not diverted us from the path of growth we have put the country on” He added the NDC in opposition has not been able to take lead in doing some of the things that are most often done first by parties in opposition.

I wonder what will happen the day they have a government to run as well” he stated. “Or, maybe, it is simply showing the country they do not attach much importance to a Manifesto, nor should we expect that whatever is written in it would reflect their beliefs. Which presupposes, of course, that they now have or hold on to any firm beliefs, instead of bending in the direction of whatever they think is currently fashionable. We wish them luck with their Manifesto, whenever they are done with it” he said.
