The Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Okaikoi North, Mr. Andrew Nii Okaikoi has expressed surprise at the way and manner the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is conducting its campaigning for this year's elections.

Speaking to well-wishers and opinion leaders from his constituency, Mr. Okaikoi asked, “what is the campaign message of the NPP who want power.”

Apart from the free SHS, which he said is not even feasible, he described as a big disgrace that Ghana's biggest opposition party cannot promise and afford the people any realistic option.

“We were told the NPP has the biggest brains the country can boast of, but where are they...are they telling us that after their fake free SHS promise they have nothing else...this is a disgrace to our democracy,” Mr. Okaikoi lamented.

He pointed out that what should have been a clarion call on the youth for higher productivity and greater mobilization has instead been a call for ‘all-die-be-die’.

“The NPP is now realizing that Ghanaians don’t want ‘all die be die’, so they have stolen our slogan.”

“Do they know what ‘people matter, you matter’ mean,” he asked, adding, “what the NPP proved during their reign is that they and their cronies matter...so their slogan should be ‘We and our cronies matter’.”

Mr. Andrew Nii Okaikoi told the opinion leaders that though he has been given the liberty by the party to choose either Okaikoi North or Central, because of the creation of the constituencies by the EC, he will remain the NDC’s candidate for Okaikoi North.

According to him, he has built the right foundation for anybody who will contest in Okaikoi central to win.

“We will take the Okaikoi seats this time…we know what we have done and lucky for the person who will represent the party at Okaikoi Central, he or she will not have more work to do, especially with the limited time available.”**
