The vice presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Naana Opoku Agyemang has called on Ghanaians to critically evaluate their living conditions and make informed choices in the upcoming December elections.
Addressing chiefs and community members in several constituencies as part of her campaign tour of the Central Region, Professor Opoku Agyemang said the rallying cry from the majority of Ghanaians is “shwe wa sitinamu n3 tu aba pa,” meaning “check your standard of living and vote wisely.”
During her interaction with market women, artisanal fisherfolks, and stakeholders, Professor Opoku Agyemang underscored the economic challenges faced by many Ghanaians, asserting that the country is in urgent need of robust leadership to facilitate a genuine economic turnaround.
She expressed her strong belief that only a transformative leader like John Dramani Mahama the NDC flagbearer can propel Ghana towards progress and prosperity.
Professor Opoku Agyemang criticized the ruling government, arguing that President Akuffo Addo’s government has failed to deliver on its promises and that the NDC has the vision, best candidate, and competent team to move the country forward and meet the needs of Ghanaians.
She said many Ghanaians are eager for change and improvement in their living standards.
Professor Opoku Agyemang encouraged Ghanaians to think critically about their choices at the polls and to choose a path that leads to a better quality of life for all citizens.
Some community members who attended the community engagements expressed their yearning for improved living standards and a brighter future.
Many at the mini-community durbar spoke about the challenges they face daily, including rising costs of living and dwindling job opportunities.
