Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has claimed that National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, does not support the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) programme and would dismantle it if given the opportunity.
He urged Ghanaians to back the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who, he argued, would protect and enhance the Free SHS initiative.
Speaking on the topic, Oppong Nkrumah emphasized that Dr. Bawumia is better suited to lead the country, contrasting his qualities with those of Mr. Mahama.
According to him, Dr. Bawumia has demonstrated integrity, whereas Mr. Mahama has shown “consistent inconsistency.”
He also highlighted differences in their economic policies, contending that Dr. Bawumia’s approach to economic growth is superior to Mr. Mahama’s concept of a “24-hour economy.”
In a video posted on his X page, Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We need leadership that believes in and invests in Ghana’s youth. Bawumia is the best choice for Ghana’s youth, not Mahama. We must protect and improve the Free SHS programme. Mahama doesn’t believe in it and would collapse it, while Bawumia would safeguard and enhance it.”
“On healthcare, Bawumia is committed to completing the Agenda 111 project, ensuring these facilities serve the people. Mahama, on the other hand, might delay or phase it out if he gains power.”
“The NPP has safeguarded the public purse, using it more effectively than the NDC, and Bawumia will do even better. On the economy, Bawumia’s expansion programme offers a stronger growth trajectory, while Mahama’s policies would set us back. For the cost of living, Bawumia has a plan, but Mahama does not.”
“The difference is clear. Bawumia has integrity, but Mahama has been consistently inconsistent. The choice for Ghana’s future is obvious,” he added.
