The Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea, has strongly asserted that Ghana’s future is securely tied to the leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He dismissed former President John Dramani Mahama as a “recycled” leader, offering little new for Ghanaians.
Speaking ahead of the NPP’s manifesto launch in Takoradi on Sunday, Atta Akyea emphasized the impact the NPP has had on Ghana through transformative policies such as the Free SHS initiative.
He believes that under Dr. Bawumia, the party will continue to deliver solutions that drive the nation’s progress.
“After the manifesto launch, we should all see that the future of this country is not with the recycled Mahama but with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” Atta Akyea declared.
He credited the NPP with consistently introducing policies aimed at alleviating poverty, noting that their next manifesto would introduce even more comprehensive measures to help Ghana overcome its current economic struggles.
“Anything of consequence that will bankroll poverty always comes from the NPP. So you are going to see another level of serious issues and a blueprint that we will depend on so that we come out of the current economic difficulties,” he added.
Atta Akyea also took aim at John Mahama’s recent proposal to offer free tuition for level 100 students, criticizing it as shallow compared to the far-reaching impact of the NPP’s Free SHS policy. He argued that the NPP’s initiative is a long-term investment in Ghana’s development.
“…You don’t have any sense of Free SHS, it came from the NPP and that is a paradigm shift. It thrives to empower the nation for the next 20 years,” he explained.
In addition to highlighting the successes of the Free SHS policy, Atta Akyea hinted that the NPP manifesto would focus on digitalization as a crucial tool for transforming Ghana’s economy and addressing its challenges.
According to him, this approach would be a “game changer” for the country’s future.
