Mahama doesn’t believe in free SHS, he’ll collapse it but Bawumia will protect and improve it – Oppong Nkrumah

Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has expressed the view that the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama does not believe in the free senior high school prgramme.

He says Mr Mahama will collapse it if he gets the opportunity.

To that end, he has called on Ghanaians to vote for the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who he said would protect and improve the implementation of the programme.

Oppong Nkrumah said this while advancing an argument that DrBawumia is better placed to be elected president in this year’s election than his contenders, especially Former President John Dramani Mahama.

Drawing the comparison between Dr. Bawumia and Mr Mahama, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated among other things that Dr Bauwmia has integrity whereas Mr Mahama has been consistently inconsistent.

Also, he said, Dr Bawumia’s economic expansion programme is superior to Mr Mahama’s 24-hour economy.

In a video posted on his X page, Mr Oppong Nkrumah, who is also the lawmaker for Ofoase Ayirebi said “We need leadership that believes and invests in the youth of Ghana, Bawumia is the best choice for Ghana’s youth and not Mahama. We need to protect and improve the free senior high school programme, Mahama doesn’t believe in free SHS,  he will collapse it but Bawumia will protect and improve it.

“We need to improve medical care for our population, Bawumia will complete Agenda 111 project all over the country and ensure that they are put to good use for you, Mahama doesn’t believe in it, and if he doesn’t halt it, at best he will phase it if he gets the opportunity.

He added “The public purse needs to be protected, the NPP has protected the public purse and put it to better use than the NDC did and Bawumia will do it even better. We want the Ghanaian economy to grow, you can trust that Bawumia will expand the growth trajectory of the Ghanaian economy but Mahama will retard it. Cost of living, you always hear people complaining high costs of living but Bawumia has a plan to contain the cost of living, Mahama doesn’t.

“A key matter is an economy, Bawumia’s economic expansion program is superior to Mahama’s 24-hour economy and finally, Bawumia has integrity but for our good friend the former President Mahama, he has consistently inconsistent, the value is not the same.”

For the next four weeks, join me every Sunday and Wednesday evening as I make a compelling case for @MBawumia as Ghana’s next President.

Get ready to dive deep into the vision and plans that promise a brighter future for all Ghanaians. #Bawumia2024 #ItIsPossible #1onTheBallot pic.twitter.com/aKm0LNUscq
