Spokesperson for Team Bryan Acheampong’s 2028 campaign, Pius Enam Hadzide, says history has shown that Ghanaians always enjoy better living conditions under New Patriotic Party (NPP) administrations.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Hadzide expressed concern about the party’s current standing, saying it was not where they hoped to be.
However, he remained confident that the NPP had always been the better choice for Ghanaians.
“Ask anyone — even our opponents will admit it — Ghanaians prosper more under NPP governments,” he stated.
He stressed several key policies and interventions introduced under various NPP administrations to support his claim.
These include the introduction of free basic education from primary to junior high school under former President John Agyekum Kufuor, and the school feeding programme which continues to support thousands of school children across the country.
“Who introduced school feeding? It was the NPP. Who made it possible for your child to go to school without paying a dime from primary to JHS? It was President Kufuor’s NPP government,” Mr. Hadzide noted.
He also cited the establishment of the Metro Mass Transit system, which he said greatly improved public transport and eased mobility for many citizens.
“Metro Mass was another NPP initiative — these are things that made life better for the ordinary Ghanaian,” he added.
Touching on more recent achievements, Mr. Hadzide pointed to the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy introduced by President Nana Akufo-Addo as a major relief for many families.
“Free SHS is one of the biggest social interventions in our history — it was the NPP that brought it,” he stated.
According to him, businesses also thrived under the NPP due to favorable policies and stable governance.
While acknowledging that there may have been “minor hitches” during the party’s tenure, he insisted that the overall impact of NPP governments had always been positive.
“Even if there were challenges, the truth is that NPP governments make life easier for Ghanaians. Businesses grow, children go to school, and families get some breathing space,” he explained.
Mr. Hadzide warned that the current conditions under the NDC government could lead the country back into hardship if Ghanaians were not careful.
“We are not in government today, and if we don’t work hard to return in 2028, Ghanaians may fall back into the mess we’ve seen before,” he cautioned.
He called on all NPP members to unite and work hard toward a return to power in the next election to continue improving the lives of Ghanaians.
