The National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has asserted that Ghana is better off under the leadership of the NPP compared to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Speaking on Peace FM on Thursday, August 1, 2024, Mustapha stated that the NPP's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will build on the legacy of President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and even surpass it.

“Dr. Bawumia will do more than what Akufo-Addo has done to ensure the legacy of the NPP is well cemented. Ghana is better off in the hands of the NPP than the NDC any day. Although we are grappling with economic challenges, Ghana is better off.

"Sometimes, we are made to believe Ghana is the only country experiencing economic crises, but that is not true. Every country is struggling to cope with the current economic crisis. Given this, the performance of this government cannot be overlooked. When I listen to some journalists who say that this government has failed, I marvel,” he said.

Mustapha emphasized that the Akufo-Addo administration has outperformed the John Mahama-led government in terms of road infrastructure and the health sector.

He appealed to Ghanaians to support Dr. Bawumia’s presidential bid to enable him to continue the good work.

“This government has performed creditably. Today, the NDC wants to portray John Dramani Mahama as a sage. Let us not sell our colour TV for black and white. Let's not take a step forward and two steps backwards. I believe that the one or two mistakes that this government has made, we can correct and get it working better for the Ghanaian people,” he noted.
