Spokesperson for Team Bryan Acheampong’s 2028 campaign, Pius Enam Hadzide, has asserted that Ghanaians have consistently experienced better living conditions under New Patriotic Party (NPP) governments.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr Hadzide expressed concern over the NPP’s current political standing but remained confident that history supports the party’s track record of improving citizens’ lives.
“Ask anyone — even our opponents will admit it — Ghanaians prosper more under NPP governments,” he stated.
Mr Hadzide pointed to a number of flagship policies introduced by successive NPP administrations to support his claim. These included the Free Basic Education policy under President John
Agyekum Kufuor, which covered education from primary to junior high school, as well as the School Feeding Programme, which continues to support thousands of schoolchildren.
“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,” he emphasised.
He also highlighted the introduction of the Metro Mass Transit system by the NPP, which, he said, greatly enhanced public transportation and improved daily mobility for many Ghanaians.
“Metro Mass was another NPP initiative. These are things that made life better for the ordinary Ghanaian,” he added.
Turning to more recent developments, Mr Hadzide cited Free Senior High School (Free SHS), introduced under President Nana Akufo-Addo, as a transformative social intervention that has relieved financial pressure on many families.
“Free SHS is one of the biggest social interventions in our history. It was the NPP that brought it,” he said.
He further claimed that businesses flourished under NPP leadership due to favourable policies and sound governance.
While acknowledging that NPP administrations may have faced “minor hitches,” Mr Hadzide insisted that the overall impact of the party's governance had been largely 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 noted.
He warned that under the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, Ghana risked falling back into economic difficulties unless the NPP returned to power in 2028.
“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.
Mr Hadzide concluded with a rallying call for unity among NPP members, urging them to intensify efforts to reclaim power and continue what he described as the party’s pro-development agenda.
