The National Youth Organizer of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) George Opare Addo has described the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as bad news for the people of Upper East and Ghanaians people.
Lawyer Opare Addo made the pronouncement during his engagement with the media at the Inauguration ceremony of the Upper East Regional Youth Working Committee in Bolgatanga on Thursday December 14, 2023.
“I believe the people from our strongholds are discerning enough to know that Dr. Bawumia is bad news for them. In my language, we have a saying that the one that will give you something, he shows signs of giving you when he has something big. When Bawumia was made Vice President, what has been his contributions to the economy of his country? What has been his significant contribution? What has he done to turn the face of this economy? What has he done for Ghanaians? What has he done for the people of the northern region, including the Upper West and Upper East regions? Clearly nothing. And I can tell you that if you are looking for a leader who you can trust, and a leader you should be bold enough to say that this is the man who will make the difference, is John Dramani Mahama. I think Bawumia has brought a lot more disgrace to the office of the Vice President and any other vice president”.
Speaking about the education sector, the national Youth Organizer, pointed the scholarship opportunities in the country are currently limited to only people within the NPP. “Education has been brought to its knees. I understand creative students are being urged to go to school for one month. Clearly this is not a social contract. Unemployment is at its worst. The rate of unemployment is the highest ever since”. He maintained
“The first-time young people who have work, save money and even gone ahead to procure government bonds, which is the safest way of investing your money, and now they are being told they cannot get access to those bonds”.
“So, there is a lot of despair for young people. And that is clearly what this government has stood on all of us. It is a hopeless situation, totally hopeless. And so, for young people in this country, we’ve lost hope”.
“We’ve lost all hope in this government. We know that the only way we can save this country is by changing the government”.
“Not too long ago, the president himself passed a vote of no confidence in himself by telling us that the problems that he’s faced as president, he cannot solve it and that we should wait for a new leader to come and solve it for us. What it means is that, if you’re a young person, the man is telling us that he and his administration have no solutions to your problems at this time, but we all agree that they failed us, and we must move on and bring in a government that resonate and speak the language of the people. A government that cares for young people. The government that sets the necessary framework for young people to develop their talents, dream and achieve those dreams. Lawyer Opare Addo told the media.
