President Akufo Addo, in a series of jabs against the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated he cannot fathom why the largest opposition party in the country cannot take the lead in doing certain things.
Speaking at the launch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2020 manifesto in Cape Coast, Central Region on Saturday, August 22, 2020 the president said “you might remember how long it took the NDC presidential candidate to find a running mate, and they have not yet got a Manifesto”.
“I wonder what will happen the day they have a government to run as well.”
Akufo Addo added, “or, maybe, it is simply showing the country they do not attach much importance to a Manifesto, nor should we expect that whatever is written in it would reflect their beliefs.
“Which presupposes, of course, that they now have or hold on to any firm beliefs, instead of bending in the direction of whatever they think is currently fashionable. We wish them luck with their Manifesto, whenever they are done with it.”
“We, in the NPP, know from whence we came. We have never had any identity crisis, and our Manifesto always gives us the opportunity to reiterate our historic stand as the party of the rule of law, the party of good governance, the party of business, the party that builds and creates wealth, the party of social justice, and the party that cares for every Ghanaian.
“In other words, it helps to believe in something, to spend time and energy to think it through, and to get passionate and competent people to lead in the implementation of the programme”, the President said.
