Nana Ohene Ntow, a leading member of the Movement for Change founded by independent presidential candidate, Alan Kyerematen, has jabbed the leaders of the New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress over their promises to Ghanaians.
The presidential candidates of the New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and John Dramani Mahama, respectively, have unveiled their manifestos and outlined various policies they intend to implement to move Ghana forward.
In a repartee between Dr. Bawumia and Mahama, the former says Ghana needs an upgrade while the latter tells the citizenry that the nation rather needs reset.
Ex-President John Mahama, flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, delivering a speech during his party’s 2024 Manifesto Launch on Saturday, August 24, said; “Tomorrow, we take the first step towards resetting our dear nation Ghana. We face challenges that have held us back for too long but now it’s time to build the Ghana we all want together…Tomorrow, we begin the journey together.”
In Dr. Bawumia’s engagement with media practitioners on Sunday, August 25, he replied; “What this country needs is an upgrade, not reset. And if given the mandate, I will roll out the measures outlined in our recently launched manifesto to revamp the economy”.
He urged Ghanaians to opt for him in the December elections stating “I represent the future, and Ghana needs an upgrade, not a reset”.
But Nana Ohene Ntow, speaking on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” morning show, rubbished Bawumia and Mahama’s position on the economy for which matter they are canvassing Ghanaians for their votes.
To him, Ghana neither needs an upgrade nor reset, rather what the country needs is Alan Kyerematen who, he stressed, is bringing transformation.
“Alan Kyerematen spoke and said that Ghana needs transformation. If you say an upgrade, then moving from class 1 to 2 is an upgrade. When we mention economic upgrade or growth, growth can move from 1% to 1.1 or 1.2 but when we talk about transformation, it means complete change to move the nation’s currency, trade and our life forward. It’s not just a question of upgrade or even resetting but a whole transformation.”
