Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, has urged Ghanaians to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming December 7 elections. Speaking at an event, the Vice-Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) warned that a return of the NDC to power could lead to a resurgence of “sakawa” activities, fraudulent schemes often associated with ritual practices.

Addressing a group of nursing trainees, NAPO, who also serves as a Member of Parliament, claimed that the NPP government had successfully curbed such cases. “All John Mahama and the NDC know is sakawa. These cases always increase under their leadership. Have you heard much about sakawa since the NPP took over? If you make the mistake of voting them back into power, sakawa will rise again, and lives will be at risk,” he said.

He also reassured the trainees that the NPP would continue to prioritize their welfare, particularly through the allowance system, while creating job opportunities abroad. “In our new manifesto, we’ve pledged to continue paying allowances. Beyond that, we plan to facilitate job placements for nurses and teachers in countries like Canada. Even if local opportunities are limited, we’ll ensure you have options abroad,” NAPO added.

As election day approaches, the political atmosphere continues to heat up, with both parties intensifying their campaigns to win over voters.
