Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged voters to resist any attempts by the ruling party to buy votes.
She cautioned that these inducements don’t lead to real development or a higher standard of living—rather, they only cause suffering.
As part of her three-day campaign tour of the Central Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang spoke at a community durbar at Budumbram in the Gomoa East constituency on Monday. She said that instead of hoarding state resources to buy votes on election day, as the ruling NPP plans to do, state resources should be used to create jobs for the youth.
“The money they will bring cannot sustain you for a day, and such money cannot build your polyclinic, it cannot construct your road, and it cannot also fix the deplorable school buildings that threaten the life of your wards; the 200, 500 Ghana Cedis cannot fix them”, she said.
According to Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, good governance occurs when appropriate policies are in place to improve the lives of all Ghanaians, as the NDC has pledged to do with the Women’s Development Bank, the 24-hour Economy, and the Big Push policy for significant infrastructure development throughout the nation.
In order to bring about development in the area, she urged voters to cast large ballots for both Hon. Desmond De-Graft Paitoo, the parliamentary candidate for Gomoa East, and NDC Flagbearer, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, in the forthcoming general elections on December 7.
