New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of Communications Mr. Richard Ahiagbah has advised National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah that NDC flagbearer and former President John Dramani Mahama ought to be getting ready for retirement on December 7, 2024, the day of the general elections.
He predicted that the NDC will lose the upcoming elections.
In response to Mr. Asiedu Nketiah’s statement that the NPP administration ought to begin writing its handover notes, he was reacting.
“Already, thousands of persons affiliated to the NPP have lost the District Level Elections. Yes, NPP people have miserably lost the Assembly and Unit Committee elections to members, supporters, and affiliates of the NDC.”
He added, “Ashanti and Eastern regions were also very impressive for the NDC compared to 2019 performance. Presently, even though the Electoral Commission unexpectedly postponed voting in some electoral areas in these two stronghold regions of the ruling NPP, NDC members and affiliates secured 34.13% and 45.52% of the electoral areas in Ashanti and Eastern regions respectively.”
However, in response, NPP Director of Communications Richard Ahiagbah stated that the general election of 2024 is about policies and programs, not about subtly implied “threats of violence” and “vain” innuendos.
According to him, the candidates running for office should be chosen based on their economic management strategies and programs. Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s flagbearer, is the next to lead the nation “with humility, capacity, and the fear of God to unleash Ghana’s production potential to benefit all Ghanaians,” according to him.
In a statement he posted on his X platform, Mr Ahiagbah said “NDC should not get it twisted. We have seen you this confident and boastful before. Please note, Chairman Mosquito, where we have gotten to as people or a democracy, it is not simply a question of it is my turn or to propagate hardship. No no no…..Chairman. It is about programs and policies, not subtle threats of violence and vain innuendos. Bawumia is next to lead with humility, capacity and the fear of God to unleash Ghana’s production potential to benefit of all Ghanaians.
It is possible. There are difficulties to do with the economy, and it is the same globally. But it is coming back, and you know it. But regarding your suggestion to the NPP, respectfully Chairman, I think you should be the one preparing for retirement on 7th Dec 2024; because it will be your LAST DANCE, and it will end in defeat. So chill, Sir!
“I make you this promise Sir, the elections will be free and fair….Pls stop seeing the ghosts of your past electoral ways & means in your dream. I wish you a humble new year.”
