Mahama Will Not Be Seen Selling Phones For GH₵1 or GH₵2 At Tip-Toe Lane – Adongo
byNews Africa Gh-
The Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, has criticized the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for his campaign promise to help Ghanaians acquire phones and pay for them in installments at GH₵1 or GH₵2 per month.
Speaking at the launch of the party’s campaign at Tamale on Saturday, July 27, Mr Adongo emphasized that this promise is not a priority for the country.
Addressing a large crowd, he assured party supporters that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is committed to implementing policies that will improve the lives of citizens.
“I can assure you, with John Mahama at the helm, you are not going to see the President at Tip-Toe Lane selling mobile phones for GH₵1 or GH₵2,” he stated.
He added, “John Mahama, if we see you at Tip-Toe Lane selling mobile phones to our unemployed youth as a solution to rural unemployment, we will sack you from the presidency.”
He argued that the NDC presidential candidate, John Mahama, has a better vision for addressing unemployment in the country and creating opportunities for the youth.
Mr Adongo claimed that Mahama’s policies would alleviate the suffering of Ghanaians during these challenging economic times.
“One thing I can assure you is that His Excellency will bring policies that will mainstream employment for our youth and bring food to our table,” he said.
Mr. Adongo criticized the current economic conditions, highlighting the high cost of living while questioning the NPP’s solutions. He asserted that John Mahama and his running mate, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang are visionary leaders who can address these issues effectively.
“We are suffering from cost crisis. Cost of living is very high. When you ask your flagbearer how are we going to solve the problem of unemployment, cedi depreciation and make sure there is food on the table, he says that he is going to give the youth one mobile phone so that they pay GH₵1 or GH₵2," he added.
