Former General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer�Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie�a.k.a Sir John�has cautioned Ghanaians particularly the youth to never be convinced in retaining the National Democratic Party (NDC) in power.

�The youth of this nation should be vigilant and as well keep themselves abreast with issues of this nation, so that it can lead them to choose the right candidate to lead this nation, otherwise they would be much affected if a wrong leader is voted for to lead the nation.�

He said the youth of this country are facing the greater part of the challenges in this country with problems such as high unemployment rate and lack of proper education.

According to him the NDC as a party is full of fabricated liars, with anxious leaders and members who would do anything to remain in power at all cost.

He asserted that statements made by Dr Mahamadu Bawumia are perfectly on course and well accepted than that of the Former Minister of Transport, Dzifa Attivor who beseeched people in the Volta Region to retain the NDC in power before the NPP sends her to jail when they are elected into power.

He spoke during a panel discussion on UTV Tuesday morning.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP Vice-Presidential Candidate,�speaking at Nyohini, in the Tamale South Constituency few days ago categorically stated;

�My elders and siblings, if John Mahama is claiming that you should vote for him because he is a northerner, then I would like to remind you that I am also from the North as a grandson of Na Gbewaa and I am asking for you to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo and myself because the NDC has failed and we can do a much better job.

��The NPP is the party that you can trust to build the economy that will provide jobs for our young ones prioritise their education and training and invest enough resources, without any attempt to steal it, in developing the North and making the lives of the people better. It is the NPP that can make NHIS and other social programmes work again to benefit the people of Ghana and this is why I am urging you to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo. John Mahama has failed as a driver; but with Nana Akufo-Addo as the driver and with me by his side, we are confident that we can steer our country to where we ought to go.�

He noted that the NDC should rather be concerned about dealing with their internal issues than struggling to brush-off the true utterances made by leaders of the NPP, when their leaders and party members use more harsh and worse words than that of the NPP.
