Former Manhyia North MP Collins Owusu Amankwaa has called on Ghanaians to make protecting the Free Senior High School (SHS) program a top priority as the country prepares to cast its ballots this Saturday.
Speaking on behalf of the Ashanti Heritage Platform (AHP), the former MP emphasized how important it is that voters avoid temptations that could impede progress and make choices that safeguard the nation’s youth’s future.
“Fellow Ghanaians,” he began, “we stand on the brink of an important opportunity—a chance to cast our ballots and shape the future leadership of our beloved country.
Together, we face a critical choice: to uphold the principles of an educated society or to compromise the future of our youth for a mere 1,000.”
The former lawmaker called on people to be on the lookout, accusing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using financial promises to lure voters.
He said he was extremely worried that the Free SHS program, which he said was transforming many Ghanaian families, might be in danger if people voted for the NDC.
“Why would you entertain the idea of accepting 1,000 and vote against this initiative, knowing full well that the NDC has made it clear they would abolish it if elected?”
“Let us not allow our frustrations or unmet expectations to drive us to support a party that would ultimately worsen our circumstances,” Owusu Amankwaa appealed. “We must unite in our support for Dr Bawumia and the NPP to preserve the Free SHS program and foster the continuation of numerous projects that benefit our nation.”
