Don’t fall for NDC propaganda; keep them in opposition – K.T. Hammond urges Ghanaians

The Minister of Trade and Industry, K.T. Hammond, has stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will remain in opposition for a very long time.

Speaking to journalists after the President’s State of the Nation Address on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, Mr Hammond pointed out that the NDC has the penchant for working against progressive proposals from the NPP due to jealousy and ignorance. He, therefore implored Ghanaians not to be swayed by the propaganda of the NDC and rather keep them in perpetual opposition .

Overcoming economic challenges
Mr Hammond said the country is on the path to recovery from the economic challenges. He expressed confidence in the President’s saying his address to Parliament was a testament that the economy will rebound under the leadership of the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

John Mahama’s presence
Expressing surprise at the presence of the NDC’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama at the 2024 State of the Nation Address, Mr Hammond said “Mind you, I’m not sure if he’s ever attended in the eight years of President Akufo-Addo’s government. Former President John Mahama decided never to attend. Today, he came in there, I’m not sure what is it that he was signalling, but I tell you the good people of Ghana are going to make sure that the NDC sits in opposition till thy kingdom come.”

He said it was important for Ghanaians to read through the lines and keep the NDC in opposition.
“Considering the crisis we have all spoken about and considering all that we’ve come to know, the NPP government has done pretty well and from what the government is saying, I think Ghanaians will massively vote for Dr. Bawumia. Don’t fall for the propaganda of those guys in the NDC, don’t fall for their propaganda at all. Why did they start shouting and why did former President John Mahama decide to attend for the first time State of the Nation’s Address.”
