Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, Mr. Koku Anyidoho, has asked Ghanaians to ignore what he calls fake promises by the NPP flagbearer ahead of the 2016 elections.
Anyidoho’s call comes on the back of a latest promise by Nana Akufo-Addo that he will set up an irrigation dam in every village in the northern part of Ghana should he win the 7 December polls.
According to him, his ‘1 village, 1 dam’ policy is to help Ghana produce more food for its citizens and for export to the sub-region.
The NPP flagbearer made this known while speaking to the Bolgatanga Traditional Council in the Upper East Region about his plans for Ghana’s agriculture under his government.
But Koku Anyidoho believes the NPP flagbearer is still ‘dreaming’ and as such making promises that are not feasible.
He said very soon, the opposition leader will promise “one region one Ghanaian.”
“He should, make peace with Afoko, Kwabena Agyapong, and others, because, you can’t continue fighting people in-house and be promising to fix Ghana,” Koku Anyidoho told GhanaPoliticsonline.com.
Akufo-Addo’s latest promise follows his earlier ‘1 district, 1 factory’ promise which he made a few months ago.
According to him, the setting up of these factories across the country will, not only, commence the rapid industrialization of Ghana’s economy, but also, will result in the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs needed by the masses of unemployed Ghanaian youth.
Many opposition groups including the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) have however punched holes into the policy, saying the NPP flag bearer has failed to outline how he intends to create jobs with the policy.
