“The NDC has failed in everything they promised Ghanaians” – Napo

Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as Napo, the 2024 running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has failed in everything they promised Ghanaians.

Napo confidently noted that the people of Ghana are now realising they sold their colored TV for a black and white.

According to Napo, he has never encountered any government that failed on all its promises within just eight months.

He asserted that the people of Akwatia must reaffirm their confidence in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by voting for the party in the upcoming by-election.

Speaking in a viral video, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh stated, “The people of Akwatia are voting at a time when Ghanaians are realising that they have sold their colored TV for a black and white. Every single thing the NDC promised, they have failed.

I have never encountered any government that failed on all its promises within just eight months. The first of its kind is the NDC. They have nothing to offer, so the people of Akwatia should reaffirm their confidence in the NPP”, he added.

Also, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, the host of Onua Maakye, has launched a scathing attack on President John Dramani Mahama’s ministers.

The outspoken broadcaster confidently emphasised that apart from President John Mahama, none of his ministers have achieved anything meaningful after eight months in office.

Speaking on his show, Onua Maakye Captain Smart stated, “Come and sit here and tell me you are doing something. Eight solid months. Yesterday, I told JB something, and he was just staring at my face.

In a communication, there is something we call silent communication, non-verbal communication, which is how people call it. The nonverbal communication you looking at the person’s face, focusing on their facial expressions”. 

Captain Smart boldly added, “I told them that now eight years is over and former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is sitting at home, and now, 8 months have passed.

All the ministries, apart from John Mahama himself, which one of them has brought something important for Ghanaians to discuss? Not even one,” he argued on his show”.

In addition, Korkor Laurette Asante, the member of parliament for Atiwa West Constituency, launched a scathing attack on the John Mahama-led government over its failure to deliver the Women’s Development Bank they promised women.

According to Korkor Laurette Asante, the NDC in opposition promised to ease burdens, but Ghanaians are now seeing an economic betrayal.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament during a debate on the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review, the Korkor Laurette Asante stated, “Mr Speaker, the NDC, when they were in opposition, said they would reduce taxes and ease burdens. But what we’re seeing is economic betrayal dressed up as economic policy”.

“Mr Speaker, the government promised a Women’s Development Bank as a flagship intervention to support our women. All the women, including those in Abomosu, the traders in Kwabeng, and the market women in Bansu, were looking forward to this”, she lamented.

She added, “Mr Speaker, only paltry GHS51million was going to be used as seed money; even that amount, we have heard nothing since. Not a single mention of the women’s bank was made in this mid-year budget review”.

Mr Speaker, to set up a Bank in Ghana, you need a minimum of  GHS400 million as capital. Where were told legal framework was being done, preparatory work was underway, but six months down the line, there is no bank, no legal structure, no implementation plan, not even a mention in the mid-year budget”.

Korkor Laurette Asante quizzed the speaker, “Mr Speaker, where is the women’s bank? This so-called women’s bank has become a ghost — budgeted in hoop and buried in silence.

Clearly, Mr Speaker, the government is unable to deliver, or they just don’t have the will or Killer Ntua, so Mahama ntua?. The women’s development bank is Yamutu”, she boldly stated.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has told his ministerial appointees that Ghanaians expect the NDC government to deliver, and they must deliver without any excuses but with results.

According to John Mahama, he did not select them to occupy spaces but to solve problems.

He further asserted that the business-as-usual approach will not work, and indeed, it must be buried once and for all.
