Seidu Musah, Oti Regional Communication Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is accusing the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration of failing to deliver on some of its major campaign promises to Ghanaians.

🇬🇭 Here's What Happened

He said the NDC, while in opposition, made what he described as attractive promises and assurances to the electorate, which influenced many Ghanaians to vote for the party in the 2024 general election.

However, Mr Musah said the NDC’s promise to introduce a 24-hour economy, which he said was presented as a major intervention to create jobs and expand economic opportunities, was yet to translate into the expected benefits for many Ghanaians.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview, Mr Musah said the 24-hour economy policy, was to facilitate a three-shift working system in selected sectors of the economy and create additional employment opportunities, particularly for the youth but “the reality on the ground” did not yet correspond with the expectations created during the campaign.

📌 Key Details

According to him, many young people were persuaded by the promise and therefore supported the NDC during the elections,

Mr Musah also raised concerns about the NDC’s campaign promise of automatic posting for newly trained teachers and nurses.

He said the promise had generated considerable hope among graduates, particularly teachers and nurses who had completed their training and were awaiting employment.

He, however, claimed that a significant number of qualified graduates were still at home without postings, despite the government’s assurances.

The Regional Communication Director said the situation required the government to provide clear timelines and mechanisms to address the concerns of the affected graduates.

He further expressed concern about the challenges confronting farmers, particularly the inability of some farmers to secure ready markets for their produce.
