Frederick Kofi Ameyaw, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications team, has opined that Ghanaians are not idiots and cannot be deceived into believing that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and John Mahama will not cancel the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy if voted into power.

During an interview on TV3's NewDay, Frederick Ameyaw stated that former President John Mahama trashed the policy when it was first promised by President Nana Addo, who was then the NPP's presidential candidate.

"Ghanaians are not idiots when they say that the National Democratic Congress will cancel the Free SHS policy. Once upon a time, he (John Mahama) said FSHS is a whimsical promise of a desperate politician, and he doesn't believe in that. Other countries have attempted and failed, so Ghanaians cannot do it," he recounted.

Frederick Ameyaw further recounted some statements by John Mahama, where he mentioned that he would not invest GH¢2 billion into Free Senior High School after the ruling party promised to introduce FSHS.

He believes strongly that the NDC will cancel the FSHS if they are voted into power.
