NDC reminds Ghanaians of Nana Addo’s eight election promises
The major opposition party, the National Democratic Congress in a petition to Akufo-Addo has reminded him of promises he made to the electorates ahead of the 2020 election.
The “Nana Addo’s eight election promises” were part of the petition to the president during the NDC’s Match for Justice which was held in Accra.
According to the NDC, the people of Ghana voted for the ruling government at a time when the nation was polarized; that the opposition had to succumb to Constitutional arrangements and entrusted their will and aspirations in the hands of the president.
They added that it was the hope of Ghanaians to see Akufo-Addo uphold tenets of the 1992 Constitution, bring about sustain peace of the country entrusted into his hands by the NDC in 2016.
The entire country, according to the petition, looked up to the government to improve the economic fortunes of the country, the wellbeing of the people, fight corruption and provide decent employment opportunities for the people while also ensuring that the youth and all Ghanaians are safe.
Nana Addo’s eight election promises – NDC
The National Democratic Congress furthered that the Nana Addo-led government while contesting the 2020 general elections promise Ghanaians but he has failed to deliver on the very teething issues he campaigned on.
They, therefore, outlined as a means of reminder, eight of such promises.
“Though it sounds needless to remind you of your pledge and campaign messages to the good people of Ghana, it is worthy to make the following demands:”
1. Immediately, implement recommendations of the Emile Short Commission of Inquiry Report forthwith. In particular, pay compensations to all victims and direct the Attorney General to prosecute all culprits.
2. Beyond investigating all acts of violence perpetrated by officers of the security agencies under your watch, ensure that all victims get justice as required by law. Victims of acts of violence from Ejura, Ablekuma Central, Odododiodioo, Banda, etc must all not be denied justice.
3. Make provisions towards providing decent jobs for the teeming youth of the Country through proper structural economic reforms and business support for enterprises of young people.
4. Ensure the safety and security of all Ghanaians
5. Stamp out corruption by prosecuting corrupt officials in your government other than shielding them. We ask that there is a fierce urgency to halt the hopeless nature of cronyism that has crept into the Government.
6. Take steps to fulfill campaign promises to the good people of Ghana and be respectful and truthful to the citizenry.
7. De-politicize the Security Services introducing reforms to give true meaning to its independence. We charge that these reforms be led by experts in our country and not partisan appointees.
8. Instruct the Attorney General and the Minister of Justice to improve the justice system and Wean the Judiciary off partisan political influence.
After outlining Nana Addo’s eight election promises, the party added that it was looking forward to the Nana Addo-led government making a fail-safe commitment to the people of Ghana as the President in this historic moment.
In a related development, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa had indicated that NDC is formidable and stands a better chance of wrestling power from the NPP in the 2024 general elections.
He made this know when he joined NDC’s London South Branch for an event dubbed ‘The analysis, the way forward, 2024 election focus’.
He furthered that the current government led by President Nana Addo has portrayed bad leadership and governance. In his statement, he indicated that when Nana Addo took over the governance of Ghana, he has also shown a poor vision in the administration of the nation.

According to the North Tongu Constituency MP, the NPP government has not been sensitive to the plight of the Ghanaian people including those in their diaspora hence the government took advantage of them, charge them for COVID-19 testing only to enrich some individuals.
