The Chief Scribe of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, says the current occupant of the Vice President office, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has brought the office to its lowest knees.
But the General Secretary of the NDC has expressed optimism in the abilities of the running mate of the party’s vice presidential candidate, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, to restore the lost dignity of the office of the president.
Mr. Kwetey said this in his welcome address at the formal introduction of the party’s 2024 Vice Presidential Candidate on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at the Kofi Ohene Konadu Auditorium at the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA).
According to him, the combination of the party’s 2024 Presidential candidate, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, and Prof. Opoku-Agyemang will bring relief to Ghanaians when elected in the 2024 polls.
Mr. Kwetey has thus called on Ghanaians, both old and young, to repose their trust in the NDC and its presidential and vice presidential candidates by voting massively for them come December 7, 2024.
He explained that the once enviable and respected office of a vice president has been tinted with corruption, lies, and dishonesty by Dr. Bawumia.
“The country is in a state of collapse, not in the physical form, the real collapse of our country is a moral collapse we have seen nearly 8 years. The state of this beautiful country is at an all-time low. The suffering Ghanaians are looking to breathe again.
People of Ghana cannot breathe. The level of pain, the suffering, the hardship, the lies, the dishonesty, corruption is choking Ghana to the maximum level.
We believe she’s in a position to support our flagbearer to bring relief and hope to Ghanaians. In the last 8-years, we have seen the office she’s going to assume brought to its lowest level.
The office has become an office that is simply an epitome of deception, lack of credibility, lack of trustworthiness, and corruption, taking this country to a level where governance has become a joke.
In you, Naana Jane, we see an individual who is not just an integrity but an individual who will restore that office to a place it used to be. The office today has been degraded, we believe you will restore that office,” the NDC general secretary reiterated.
