A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Brong-Ahafo has likened President Nana Addo Dankwa AKufo-Addo’s administration to the biblical “New Testament” concept that requires absolute patience to see the realisation of God’s promises in one’s life.
According to Mr. Debie Appiah-Mensah, a former Brong-Ahafo Regional Organiser of the NPP, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under former President John Dramani Mahama, left the economy in the “wilderness”, thus, making it difficult for Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration to resuscitate and build on it.
That notwithstanding, Mr. Appiah-Mensah said most of the social intervention programmes being implemented by the government would be fruitful from 2019, and appealed to Ghanaians to be patient and hopeful for better socio-economic living conditions.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Sunyani, he observed that in the spiritual perspective, it took unwavering faith for a promise of God to be fulfilled in one’s life, and that required complete patience, if Ghanaians could witness remarkable improvement in their socio-economic livelihoods.
Mr. Appiah-Mensah noted that discerning citizens were aware it had been tough for the government to bring the economy back on course to spur rapid socio-economic growth and development, and called on the government to shun her critics and detractors and concentrate in re-building a better Ghana.
“We want to remind Nana Akufo-Addo that his government is threading on a good path. We are aware it has not been easy, but we believe that with time, majority of Ghanaians will understand him better and enjoy”, he said.
Mr. Appiah-Mensah said the Free Senior High School programme, Nation Builders Corps (NaBCo), Planting for Food and Jobs (PfFJs) and the restoration of Nurses and Teachers allowances alone were great achievements of the government.
He reminded the NPP hierarchy that that the 2020 electioneering campaign begins next year, and advised the Party to settle all differences and internal misunderstandings for a unified front.
Mr. Appiah-Mensah underscored the need for the NPP leadership to strengthen Party structures and adequately resourced various polling station and Constituency executives, which remained the strong pillars and hopes of the Party if it could retain power in Election 2020.
“We must work hard, search, identify and embrace all defectors and disgruntled members, bring them on board and promote vigorous electioneering”, he added.
The former NPP Regional Organiser, indicated that the government had achieved a lot, but it required the Party to sell these achievements to the electorate and see the hopes of the nation.
Until this was done, Mr. Appiah-Mensah said, critics and detractors would peddle lies, making the government unpopular and influence the voting masses.

well, NPP got the opportunity to transform Tetteh Quashie round about at Airport see what they did. a whole center of the city, Circle was transformed in 4 years by mahama government. workers of ridge hospital might not say it but they can feel the difference between old ridge and new ridge. Roads were transformed. schools were transformed, water and electricity supply was transformed. people got jobs though majority were still unemployed is still better than collapsing businesses and increasing the number of unemployment in the country. keep tickling yourself and laughing. NPP go and get yourselves prepared to the presidency. is not found on a silver platter.
if you care to know, we wash our face downwards not the other way round. we are just silent because we know how loud this government is. party talk more do little. you talked more about woyome and yet so far nothing. you talk more on corruption, now you have the power arrest the corrupt people. NHIS is what it is still. Am sure if mahama had not ended the doom s)) npp couldn't have done anything. we will kick you out.
I See, you sit there drinking coffee and ice water on the streets of Accra believing that Akufu Addo will bring hope to you. you are an npp so what. upon all the so called chop chop, corruption, infrastructural developments, water projects, rural electrification in Mahama Government, pure water remain 20p from beginning to end. you have done nothing soso free SHS you de take the lie us. prices escalating like rockets. is the most ***barred word*** government ever. NPP and its follows are bung of talkative s. we are watching you till the D day. be loud and pretend your you are right and everybody is wrong. you will see the finality of your government.
I don't want to believe that sane people expect the President Nana Addo Dankwa AKufo-Addo’s administration to clear the mess of Pr. Mahama and the NDC Administration of 8 good years, in a record time of 22 good months in his first term of 4 years, wow. This would have been a remarkable performance which would have wowed the whole world of insane people except the NDC-folks.To be honest, the structures of our economy to date, which is not the sole responsibility of the NDC-Administration, make it absolutely impossible to achieve that ambitious feat in the absence of certain economic fundamentals to spur production of goods and services to back our Cedi. That, notwithstanding, you see clearly that the two NPP-administrations have made a good mark to bring things in terms of requisite economic fundamentals on the good track alongside social interventions to reduce the hardship of her people. The policies so far and the Leadership and the vision which embodies Ghana beyond Aid is an explicit indication of what the President wants to achieve for Ghana. I can only end here and say, good folks, let NDC glorify herself in the folly of lies, cheap propaganda, and populism; but keep focused.
Old old man, Please Mr I know everything, king promise please shut the **ch up and clean up the mess you claim Mahama created! THAT IS WHY YOU WERE VOTED INTO POWER.
What a delusional old F**l! this super incompetent man truly believes he is doing something mmmtteeeww!!!
Comedians nkoaaa. Never mind you guys are lairs and we will punish you in 2020.
After 22 months in power, do you still wield the moral authority to complain about someone leaving the economy in a mess? Although you claim to have met the economy in a mess, yet were able to employ 110 Ministers and a bunch of people who are milking the economy dry. Fix it if it's broken!
I beg to differ, Nana is not seeing top kraaaa WHEN IS HE GOING TO FIX THE ECONOMY. PLEASE KEEP QUIET AND LET US HEAR WORD.
Gold or Green? Single or double track?
