The New Patriotic Party (NPP) described the solution brought by former President John Dramani Mahama to an irregular power supply (dumsor) that the country faced during his tenure as "a mere opportunity for the transaction agents to the NDC to earn more money by awarding contracts for electricity purchase ".

Describing President Akufo-Addo's achievements as commendable, the secretary-general said that the country was on the road to a major transformation, adding that the NDC-led government had clearly shown that it was not a good thing to say. there was nothing good to offer Ghanaians.

The biggest mistake that Ghanaians could make, he said, was to entrust the resources and resources of the country to the future "to the same hands that allowed an oil-rich country to move from one country to another. 14% to 3.4% ".

Mr. Boadu explained that it was up to the NPP to inform Ghanaians that the money borrowed under the NDC would have been outsourced with inflated contracts such as Terminal 3 of the NDP. Kotoka International Airport.
