Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Yaw Dabie Appiah Mensah, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bono Region says the \u2018flamboyant and immoderate\u2019 lifestyle of the former President John Dramani Mahama are indications that another National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under his watch would drain the national purse.<\/b><\/p>\n

Commenting on the nationwide campaign tour of the former president, Mr Mensah said \u201cthe lifestyle of Mr Mahama and his campaign message even in opposition is an indication that the NDC has nothing new to offer Ghanaians when voted into political power in the election 2024\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis assertion that he would cut down government expenditure and reduce the appointments of ministers of state minister to save the public purse is contrary to his flashy lifestyle\u201d, Mr Mensah, a former NPP organiser in the then Brong-Ahafo region stated in an interview with Newsmen at Odomase in the Sunyani West Municipality on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI followed former President Mahama\u2019s recent campaign visit to the Bono region and it would interest you to know that Mr Mahama flew to the region with a private jet, as about 10 latest V8 Landcruiser\u2019s await to pick him at the Sunyani Airport\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a clear manifestation that Mr Mahama and his NDC is desperate for political power just to enrich themselves and drain the public purse\u201d, Mr Mensah indicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the same Mr Mahama who has admitted that four years are not enough for any serious government to make any significant impact in development\u201d, he said, and advised Ghanaians not to be swayed by the propagandist approach by the NDC to win their votes in the next general election.<\/p>\n

Mr Mensah said despite the global economic shocks, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo\u2019s government had performed creditably and was doing everything possible to stabilize the economy to alleviate the plight of the citizenry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must therefore support the government in tackling our development deficit and ignore the visionless, corrupt and incompetent NDC and its leaders\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Touching on the impending NPP\u2019s presidential primaries, Mr Mensah urged all the aspirants to remain decorous and conduct themselves properly in their campaigns\u2019 devoid of insults and personal attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presidential aspirants must remember that we need only one flagbearer to break the eight and they must not dirty themselves, instead stick to issue-based campaigns that make the party more attractive to persuade floating voters to join and vote for the NPP to retain political power in 2024\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has set the pace for all the aspirants to follow his campaign of decency\u201d, Mr Mensah stated.<\/p>\n

He reminded the NPP delegates to consider the choice of Ghanaians and endorse an aspirant with proven track records, saying the general interest of Ghanaians ought to be paramount if the NPP could retain political power in the next general election.<\/p>\n
