Vice Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has said the political party has proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is for the people.
Speaking during his tour of the Eastern Region on Thursday, Bawumia stated that no party can be compared to the NPP in terms of social interventions.
"Under Nana Akufo-Addo, NPP is showing that we are the government of equal opportunities. We are the government of the masses. We are providing equal opportunity for all Ghanaians."
He added that the Akufo-Addo government has created equal opportunities through well-thought-out interventions and all-inclusive development agenda.
"We are giving teacher trainee allowance, we are giving nursing trainee allowance, we are doing One Constituency One Ambulance, One District One Factory, One Constituency One million Dollars, Nations Builders Corp, One District One Factory and Free Senior High School Education.
"And we are going to give tertiary loans for access to tertiary education by all. We also want Zongo communities to have model senior high schools." he said
In response to former President John Mahama's promise to create equal opportunities for Ghanaians when voted into office, Dr. Bawumia challenged that he shows Ghanaians a single equal opportunity he created during his time as President.
"For 8 years when he (Mahama) was in government as President and Vice President, where were the equal opportunities he built for Ghanaians?" Dr. Bawumia quizzed.
"They cannot tell you what equal opportunity they have given to our youth. Unemployment is not equal opportunity. Dumsor is not equal opportunity. The cancellation of teacher trainee allowance is not equal opportunity. SADA Akonfem is not equal opportunity. Cancellation of nursing trainee allowance is not equal opportunity."
"We are the government for equal opportunities. The NDC is the government of 'akonfem' and of an unequal opportunity," he added.
