Member of Parliament for Tano North Constituency, Dr Gideon Boako has said that the National Democratic Congress is now waking up to the reality.
He is of the view that the NDC, while in opposition, lied their way through with propaganda and are now accepting the realities the New Patriotic Party was honest about to the people of Ghana.
Gideon Boako, who made this position known in a post shared via social media, emphasized that the NPP, regardless of the challenges, restored the economy before leaving office.
His post shared on social media said “You can spread all the propaganda and make all the noise when you’re in opposition, but eventually, reality will catch up with you.
Today, my friend in the NDC, Murtala Mohammed is claiming that we must blame COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war for Ghana’s economic challenges.
Yet, just a few months ago, he and the NDC appeared on national television and dishonestly criticized the NPP administration for citing those very same reasons.
We did not mislead Ghanaians, nor were we trying to evade responsibility when we explained that our economy was thriving before these two external shocks caused a downturn. However, our opponents chose to ride on cheap propaganda, ignoring the significant and ongoing impacts on the global economy.
Now, reality has indeed caught up with them. Like a witch undergoing exorcism, they are beginning to confess—left, right, and centre. Time indeed vindicates!
They are waking up to reality, and it’s not a pleasant sight.
Fortunately for them, the NPP government was able to restore the economy back to the pre-COVID-19 era before leaving office. We recorded a growth rate of 5.7%, and in nominal terms, a historic GDP of over a trillion cedis – unprecedented in our history. We await how this government will build on this solid milestone.
Shalom”.
