The Parliamentary Candidate for the 2024 election on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Kwame Ampaw Addo Frempong, popularly known as Chief Buffalo has urged Ghanaians to massively vote against the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) former President John Dramani Mahama.

He indicated that he [Mahama] does not have anything to offer the youth of the country to better their life.

According to Chief Buffalo, during former President John Mahama’s regime as President, instead of initiating alternative policies to get the kayayes off the street, he rather distributed pans to them to enable them to continue carrying out their businesses.

“However, when the visionary leader, the Vice President, and the flagbearer of NPP, Dr. Mahamudu, saw their work didn’t have a better future, he gave them skills training and also trained some of them on how to drive a car, and today they were driving the electrical buses he brought in the country and this is the man Ghanaians should vote for on December 7,” he remarked.

Nana Kwame Frempong mentioned that the initiative forms part of creating job opportunities for the youth to reduce the unemployment rate in the country.

He laughed off the NDC’s leader – John Mahama, for his insignificant campaign promises such as the small broilers [Nkonko nkete nkete] for the youth if elected as the President of Ghana.

The Abuakwa North Parliamentary Candidate made this assertion at Kukurantumi on Wednesday, December 4, when addressing the NPP faithful after their final Victory Walk.

Chief Buffalo emphatically stated that the NDC in Abuakwa North should stop dreaming of a possible win of the seat because “Abuakwa North is NPP and NPP is Abuakwa North.”

Furthermore, Alhaji Seidu Ibrahim, the Chairman of the Constituency entreated the constituents to desist from skit and blouse voting and vote for NPP to retain power in 2025 to enable them to continue its developmental agenda.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Museums and Monuments, Kingsley Ofosu Ntiamoah also advised NPP members in Abuakwa North that when going to cast their votes on Saturday, December 7, they should go along with someone to vote for both Dr. Bawumia and Chief Buffalo to maintain the seats for the party.

Kingsley Ntiamoah, urged the youth in Ghana, especially Abuakwa North, should avoid erroring in their voting process so that it doesn’t go the way of former President John Mahama.

He explained that he does not deserve the votes of the people as his tenure as president was characterized by hardship, unemployment, among other things and his the only solution he professed was an unfortunate statement that “he is not a magician to create jobs for the youth.”

“But Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is saying if elected as the President of Ghana, he would create 1 million digital jobs for the youth, so therefore, I am pleading with the Ghanaian youth to give him the nod to become the next President,” he noted.
