REMARKS BY THE MINORITY LEADER, HON. CASSIEL ATO FORSON, (PhD) @ THE NDC CAMPAIGN LAUNCH IN TAMALE ON SATURDAY, 27TH JULY, 2024
Greetings in Dagbani
- Your Excellency John Mahama, leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
- Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Running Mate to incoming President Mahama;
- Fellow Akatamansonians
- On behalf of the NDC Minority Caucus inParliament, I bring you very warm greetings
- Today, the great NDC is officially launching our campaign and our forward march to victory 2024
- Comrades,
- our country is in a mess
- a gargantuan mess
- a big fat mess!
- In fact, Ghana is in trouble!
- This Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government has been a monumental failure
- It has been almost eight (8) years of:
- Lies, lies and more lies
- Impunity and lawlessness
- Recklessness and cluelessness
- No Job and Joblessness
- No hope and Hopelessness
- Hardships, misery and Ahokyer3
- Tax, Taxes and more Taxes
- Borrowing, more borrowing and over-borrowing
- Illegal printing of money and more illegal printing of money at the Bank of Ghana
- Wastage
- Non-performance
It has been almost eight (8) years of:
- Poor governance
- Massive uncontrolled corruption
- State capture
- Family and friends
- Arrogance of power
- I HAVE HEARD SOME GHANAIANS SAY,THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN POLITICS AND THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE
I bet, you will have a change of mind if you are aware that:
- 11.5 million Ghanaians, representing 33.3% of ourpeople, have been thrown into extreme poverty due to the bad policies of President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia
I bet, you will have a change of mind if you are aware that:
- 8.4 million Ghanaians representing 24.5% of our people went a day without food in 2023, according to Ghana Statistical Service
- 2 million Ghanaians are facing acute food and nutrition insecurity, according to the World Bank
- 35% of our employable youth are unemployed (the highest in the Fourth Republic)
- 1.9 million of our youth are idle with no work, no training and no education, according to the Ghana Statistical Service
- Out of Ghana’s population of 33 million, about 22million are jobless
- This means 2 out of every 3 Ghanaians are jobless
- Another 4.5 million of our people have completelygiven up on their search for jobs out of frustration
- 50% of our doctors are now working abroad due to poor working conditions, says the Ghana Human Development report
- I bet, you will have a change of mind if you are aware that:
- This government borrowed and overborrowed and have made Ghana bankrupt
- Ghana is so broke that the country cannot repay its debt.
- Even pensioners were made to suffer crude and painful haircuts
- The Bank of Ghana is now bankrupt and policy insolvent
- Ghana’s cocoa sector has collapsed
- And almost all state-owned enterprises are recording huge losses and collapsing
- With this poor scorecard of this Akufo-Addo/ Bawumia government, my fellow countrymen and women:
- This is a call to duty!
- Don’t sit on the fence!
- We owe Ghana a joint effort and communal labour to rescue and reset our dear country
“WALAAHI, WE NEED TO RESCUE OURCOUNTRY”!
“TOUCH WOOD, WE WILL RESET GHANA”!
- Our forward march to victory requires not only hard work but also unity, togetherness, purposefulness, concerted effort and extreme vigilance, among others
- Come out in your numbers and vote John Mahama and NDC Parliamentary candidates on 7thDecember, 2024
- I thank you all
