Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) 2020 manifesto will reflect the actual needs and aspirations of the Ghanaian people.
The party’s manifesto which is set to be launched on Monday, August 31, 2020 will be appreciated by Ghanaians because it will be a manifesto “from the people and for the people”. He made these comments in a Facebook post.
“One can therefore immediately see the wisdom of the NDC leadership when they chose to embark on a people’s manifesto which our opponents ridiculed. Clearly, you cannot get it wrong when you go to the people and engage them directly on what constitutes their needs, hopes and aspirations. Certainly, the NDC is better positioned to present a far superior manifesto on Monday. A manifesto from the people and for the people as it ought to be” the post read.
Mr Ablakwa also noted the President Akufo-Addo is ‘running away’ from a debate with former president Mahama because the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has failed to implement most of its 2016 manifesto promises.
“It can now be understood why President Akufo-Addo is running away from a debate with former President John Mahama despite the latter’s passionate appeals. When your record is defined by ghost projects and blatant deception which has resulted in a gaping trust deficit, you will obviously not present yourself to the Bukom Boxing Arena, not because that is another JM legacy but more because you need to desperately avoid a TKO from Sumaila Ndewura Jakpa’s descendant.”
The NPP launched its 2020 manifesto on Saturday August 22, at Cape Coast in the Central Region.
The opposition NDC has since accused the NPP of presenting “recycled and outrageous promises” to Ghanaians adding that, their manifesto does not inspire hope and does not also reflect the work the party has done after being the office for almost four years.
