NPP's slogan is ‘We and our cronies matter’

The Parliamentary Candidate for Okaikoi North, Mr. Andrew Nii Okaikoi, has
expressed surprise at the way and manner the NPP is conducting its campaigning
for this year's elections.
Speaking to well-wishers and opinion leaders from his constituency on
Monday, Mr. Okaikoi asked, “what is the campaign message of the NPP who want
power.”
Apart from the free SHS, which he said, is not even feasible, he described
as a big disgrace that Ghana's biggest opposition party cannot promise and
afford the people any realistic option.

“We were told the NPP has the biggest brains the country can boast of,
but where
are they...are they telling us that after their fake free SHS promise they
have nothing else...this is a disgrace to our democracy,” Mr. Okaikoi
lamented.

He pointed out that what should have been a clarion call on the youth for
higher productivity and greater mobilization has instead been a call for
all-die-be-die. “The NPP is now realizing that Ghanaians don’t want ‘all
die be die’, so they have stolen our slogan.”

Do they know what ‘people matter, you matter’ mean, he asked, adding, “what
the NPP proved during their reign is that they and their cronies
matter...so their slogan should be ‘We and our cronies matter’.”

Mr. Andrew Nii Okaikoi told the opinion leaders that though he has been
given the liberty by the party to choose either Okaikoi North or Central,
because of the creation of the constituencies by the EC, he will remain the
NDC’s candidate for Okaikoi North.

According to him, he has built the right foundation for anybody who will
contest in Okaikoi Central to win.

“We will take the Okaikoi seats this time…we know what we have done and
lucky for the person who will represent the party at Okaikoi Central, he or
she will not have more work to do, especially with the limited time
available.”
