Accra, Aug 06, GNA-Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the Running Mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), for Election 2024, has called on the electorate to reject any vote-buying inducements by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
A statement issued by Mr. James Agyenim-Boateng, Spokesman of the NDC Running Mate, which was made available to the Ghana News Agency said Prof Opoku-Agyemang warned that such inducements only bring hardships and deny them meaningful development and a better quality of life.
Addressing a community durbar at Budumbram in the Gomoa East constituency as part of her three-day campaign tour of the Central Region, Prof Opoku-Agyemang noted that state resources should be used to create jobs for the youth but not be hoarded for vote buying on election day as the ruling NPP intends doing.
“The money they will bring cannot sustain you for a day, and such money cannot build your polyclinic, it cannot construct your road, and it cannot also fix the deplorable school buildings that threaten the life of your wards; the GHC 200, GHC 500 cannot fix them, she said.
Prof Opoku-Agyemang explained that good governance was when there was a proper policy in place to provide a better life for all Ghanaians as the NDC has promised to do with the 24-hour Economy, the Women’s Development Bank, and the Big Push policy for massive infrastructure development across the country.
She urged electorates to vote for the NDC Flagbearer, Mr John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming December 7 general election and the NDC Gomoa East Parliamentary Candidate, Mr Desmond De-Graft Paitoo, to bring development to the area.
