He criticized the government for what he described as failed promises and poor economic management, which he claimed had severely impacted his constituents.

“Since the NPP came to power, they have deceived Ghanaians, and things are not going well,” he said in a viral video declaring his switch in politics.

He expressed particular concern over rising living costs and insufficient support for the agricultural sector, issues he believes have worsened under the current administration.

In endorsing Dr. Ato Forson, the Member of Parliament for Ajumako Enyan Essiam, he emphasized the MP's ability to advocate for the constituency effectively.

“We need someone who can go to Parliament and speak on our behalf, not someone who will just say ‘yeah, yeah,’” he stated.

He urged voters to consider the broader implications of their choices in the upcoming elections and to prioritize policies that address development and social welfare.
