The running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has urged voters to reject any attempts by the ruling party to buy their votes.
She cautioned that such bribes only lead to greater hardships and prevent meaningful progress and improvements in quality of life.
During a community durbar at Budumbram in the Gomoa East constituency on Monday, as part of her three-day campaign tour in the Central Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang emphasized that state funds should be directed towards job creation for the youth, not used for vote-buying on election day, a tactic she accuses the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of planning.
“The money they will bring cannot sustain you for a day, and such money cannot build your polyclinic, it cannot construct your road, and it cannot also fix the deplorable school buildings that threaten the lives of your wards; the 200, 500 Ghana cedis cannot fix them,” she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang highlighted that true governance involves implementing policies that enhance the lives of all Ghanaians.
She pointed to the NDC’s commitments, such as the 24-hour economy, the Women’s Development Bank, and the Big Push policy for extensive infrastructure development.
She called on voters to support NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama and Gomoa East parliamentary candidate Desmond De-Graft Paitoo in the upcoming December 7 elections to drive meaningful development in the area.
