Hon. Nana Kwasi Adjei Boateng, Member of Parliament for New Juaben North Constituency in the Eastern Region has stated, the 8yr cycle agenda his NPP want to break come 2024 elections wouldn’t come on the silver platter but rather it requires a hardwork, unity and togetherness amongst the members of their party to achieve it.
The former Deputy Local Minister indicated, if they don’t work hard to win power in 2024 and NDC takes the baton from them, all the good works NPP gov’t have done within the 8yrs will go waste.
Hon. Nana Kwasi Boateng adds, what will help us to get development and profit is when NPP stays in power for more than 16yrs then this country would get the needed development Ghanaians are looking for over the past years.

He said, corruption sent NDC to opposition because they were just milking the state but Nana Addo in his tenure of fighting corruption has made many Ghanaians to believe that he is ever ready to fight the canker.
“We [NPP] have seen that it is corruption that sent NDC to opposition so they also want to use the corruption tag on NPP to create enormity between NPP and Ghanaians to make our party unpopular for them to be voted NPP out of power come 2024 elections which doesn’t sound well”
Hon. Adamu Raha told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in an interview adding that, the NDC members should find another means in keeping this gov’t on its toes rather than resorting into these falsehood corruption allegations against Prez Akufo-Addo which wouldn’t go anywhere.
