PUT DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF OTHER CONSIDERATIONS – PROF. OPOKU-AGYEMANG

The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana
Opoku-Agyemang, has urged electorates to put their developmental needs ahead of all other
considerations as they go to the polls on December 7, 2024.
Addressing NDC supporters at Adiembra Zezera in the Dormaa West Constituency as part of
her campaign tour of the Bono Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said the record of the NDC is
visible in every sector of the economy, including health, education, roads, electricity, water,
markets and aviation.
“We promised to build 200 secondary schools and before leaving office in 2017, Ghanaians
saw the ones we built and it is visible to all. The NPP too promised to build 350 brand new
schools. We want to know how many they have built and where they are”, she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said elections are also about track record and urged the government
to show Ghanaians what it has done.
She also urged electorates to be wary of government’s temporary inducements aimed at
harvesting votes.
“Because elections are coming, they will bring money and share to people just to win their
votes after denying them water, schools, roads and electricity. That has been their stock-in-
trade and that is why we are not seeing the schools, the roads and other developmental
projects across the country”, she added.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged the electorates to vote for NDC presidential candidate, Mr John
Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming December 7 general elections to enable him bring
development across the country .
She said a vote for Mr Mahama will bring jobs through policies such as the Big Push, National
Apprenticeship Programme , Women’s Development Bank and the 24-Hour economy, among
others.
