The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on Ghanaians to no longer make "the biggest mistake" by entrusting the country's resources, its future, to John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Sunday, April 7, 2019, the party's secretary general, John Boadu, said that Mahama had nothing new to offer Ghanaians, except for the incompetence and corruption he witnessed.

"Say no to a redenominated candidate (Mahama) because he never changes. Mahama – the value is the same. More importantly, the NDC alternative under Mahama is still scary, "he said.

According to Boadu, the fourth growth and economic performance of the fourth republic of Ghana clearly shows that the nuclear power plant is being built and growing while the NDC has the firm intention of destroying and eroding realized gains.

The NDC, he said, "took us [Ghana] HIPC, but did not have the courage to admit it, even though it was governed by an IMF program in 2000. It took President Kufuor to have the bulk of Ghana's debt canceled and for that he leaves the IMF program. In addition, the NPP, thanks to targeted GNPC operations, made Ghana an oil-rich nation, but left office before producing a single barrel of Jubilee oil.

"In addition, President Kufuor's NPP left office with Ghana's first credit rating which brought us to B +. Before that, we were not even noticed. Credit scoring is necessary for both government and business to conduct business transactions and borrow abroad. "

He continued: "… after eight years of economic management of the NDC, our rating has gone from B + to B-. Yes, B less under John Mahama! After only 20 months of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's nuclear power plant, we have already gone from B to B. Our improved credit rating has earned us an over-subscribed Euro-bond issue at seven rate the lowest coupon and a longer maturity had, "he said.
