According to Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), the NPP has an unmatched track record of revitalising and enhancing Ghana’s economy.
In a press conference on Thursday, Kodua said that the NPP is different from the National Democratic Congress in terms of boosting the economy. The meeting was held to discuss the details of the NPP’s presidential elections on November 4.
“We have a better track record than our opponents in managing Ghana’s economy.” The truth is that the NDC is feeling more confident now since the Russia-Ukraine War and COVID-19 have undone the progress we made as soon as we took power on January 7, 2017.
Kodua further praised the economic and managerial prowess of former President Kufuor and the current President, Akufo-Addo.
“Under President John Agyekum Kufuor, from 7th January 2001 to 7th January 2009, the NPP pulled Ghana’s economy out of the stagnation the NDC left. Again, under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we grew the economy on average 7 percent from another NDC stagnation for three consecutive years before the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s War in Ukraine. The truth is that we are fixing the economy, and soon, the hardships of today will be history. The assurance to Ghanaians that we will regenerate the economy is manifest in our record.”
