The former Minister of Trade and Industries, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has called on Ghanaians to vote against the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to break the “stealing and looting” under the government.
Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah made this statement while inaugurating a 13-member working committee representing the three Zongo communities: Akateng, Sekesua, and Asesewa in Upper Manya Krobo in the Eastern Region
The former minister criticized Vice President Dr. Bawumia, dismissing his credibility and integrity, and urged the gathering to expose the failures of the NPP government.
“Vote out the NPP government to break the stealing and the looting. The inept and corrupt NPP regime must be voted out,” Dr. Spio-Garbrah said.
He also admonished the people to take” the good policies of John Mahama and the NDC to the people in their homes.”
He also criticized the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia, for trying to dissociate himself from the government’s failures.
“The much-touted economic Messiah has run away from what Akufo-Addo said about him. He is now hiding under digitalization, which started under the NDC as far back as when former President Jerry John Rawlings was in power.”
The ceremony, held in Asesewa, garnered attention from dignitaries within the NDC party, including former Member of Parliament Hon. Bismark Tetteh Nyarko, alongside other esteemed personalities such as former MP Hon. Stephen Amoanor Kwao, Engineer Shelter Lotsu, Constituency Chairman Alhaji Moro Yakubu Hankuri, and Constituency Zongo Caucus Coordinator Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed, among others.
The Member of Parliament for Upper Manya Krobo, Bismark Tetteh Nyarko, urged unity and focus among the constituents in the upcoming general election.
He encouraged disillusioned individuals in the NPP affected by their own party’s “nepotism and economic downturn to join the NDC’s victory train” and reject the false promises of the ruling party.
Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed, the Zongo Caucus coordinator, thanked the MP for supporting the education of deserving students from the Zongo communities.
He also announced plans by the MP to construct a KVIP toilet facility in Asesewa Zongo, demonstrating his commitment to improving infrastructure and the quality of life within the communities.
The inauguration of the working committee marks a significant step forward in fostering unity and political mobilization within the Zongo communities of Upper Manya Krobo as they prepare for the 2024 elections.
