A staunch member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the. Atwima Nwabiagya North Constituency, Paul Adinkra has called on the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stop its verbal assaults against the administration of President Mahama.
Speaking to the Correspondent in an interview at Breman a suburb of Kumasi, Mr. Adinkra expressed deep concern over what he termed it as “dirty politics” which is currently being championed by the opposition.
He indicated that such tactics are antithetical to national progress and serve no purpose other than to distract the government from its development agenda.
A Call for National Unity Over Partisanship:
Mr. Adinkra reiterated that while other nations are leveraging democratic stability to foster economic growth, Ghana’s political landscape currently appears marred by hate speech and anti social rhetoric.
At a time where we should we. should remained focused and united to build our economy, the opposition taargets on hatred and voices that erode the very fabric of our development, Adinkra stated.
Adinkra urged the NPP to pivot from destructive politicking to constructive dialogue, noting that constant antagonism yields no tangible benefits for the average Ghanaian.
Refuting Allegations
The NDC stalwart specifically addressed the recent criticisms leveled against the administration including the ongoing investigation into a recent cocaine scandal and the implementation of market projects under the ‘Reset Ghana’ agenda.
Dismissing the allegations as “baseless,” Mr. Adinkra maintained that President Mahama has no involvement in the cocaine saga describing the opposition’s narrative as a calculated ploy to discredit the administration.
Regarding the market projects, he emphasized that these infrastructure initiatives are designed to benefit all the citizens regardless of their political affiliation or regional backgrounds.
Comparing past and present
reflections on the country’s political history, Mr. Adinkra took a swipe at the previous administration led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.
He alleged that the former government left the country in a state of economic distress which he claimed was the primary reasons that compelled Ghanaians to voted the Npp out of power.
“Ghanaians kicked the NPP out because they woefully failed to deliver. Now that President Mahama is at the helm and actively working to transform the country through the ‘Reset Ghana’ agenda, the opposition needs to support these efforts rather than engaging in baseless noisemaking, he added.
As the nation looks toward future development, Mr. Adinkra urged all political actors to prioritize the national interest over partisan gains concluding that the ‘Reset Ghana’ agenda is a vision for the collective prosperity of the people, and any attempt to sabotage it through propaganda would ultimately prove futile.
