A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Manhyia constituency, Alhaji Inusah Danduleshi, has observed that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has failed to deliver its campaign promises, and therefore, disappointed the people in meeting their aspirations.
Alhaji Danguleshi told The Chronicle in an interview that the NDC promised Ghanaians massive infrastructural development, improvement in the agricultural sector, and creation of jobs for the youth, but all in vain.
According to him, many Ghanaians had regretted voting the NDC into power, hence the need for the NPP to work hard to wrestle power from the 'non-performing NDC.'
He expressed disappointment that the NDC government, over the past three years, had stopped employing people, both in the formal and informal sectors, and alleged that those who had gained employment were 'core NDC members,' or people closely related to NDC officials.
He said the Manhyia constituency was a cosmopolitan area, and emphasised on the need to reach out to every group to ensure victory for the NPP in the 2012 elections.
Alhaji Danguleshi also pointed to attempts by the NDC administration to reintroduce the 'cash and carry' system in the country, and said it was enough evidence that the days of the NDC, as a government, were numbered.
He expressed shock at the insensitivity of the government to push the capitation under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) through in the Ashanti Region in spite of protests.
'I am shocked to learn that the Atta Mills-led NDC administration is bent on implementing capitation, in the face of threats to precious lives of the people in the Ashanti Region,' he stressed.
The NPP guru stated: 'Ghanaians need a leader who understands the problems of this country; a leader who will uproot corruption, and use the nation's resources judiciously for the benefit of the people, reduce poverty, undertake industrial promotion, create employment, tackle rural development and agriculture in a bid to reduce the burden of Ghanaians.'
Alhaji Danguleshi said instead of tackling the problems facing the country, the ruling government had rather placed many of its youth on radio to tell lies about Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, who has all the attributes to lead the country out of the doldrums.
He appealed to party faithful and floating voters to come out in their numbers to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo, adding that it was equally important for everyone to conduct themselves well, in order not to mar the 2012 general elections.
Alhaji Danguleshi also urged Ghanaians of voting age to register massively in the upcoming biometric registration, so that they could vote for the NPP in the December 2012 polls, to ensure the required massive victory.
