Electing NDC into power will bring back Sakawa – NAPO
NPP Vice-Presidential Candidate Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has accused the NDC of being a “sakawa” government.
He claimed that cases of sakawa—illegal practices combining modern internet-based fraud with African traditional rituals—decreased under the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
Addressing a group of nursing trainees in a video shared on the social media platform X, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, who is also a Member of Parliament, warned that voting the NDC back into power would lead to a resurgence of such activities.
“All John Mahama and the NDC know is sakawa. Sakawa cases always rise when the NDC is in government. Have you heard of sakawa cases in recent years since the NPP came to power? If you make the mistake of voting the NDC back into power, sakawa cases will rise again. Men and women will go missing. We are left with five days to the election day. We will vote massively for Dr. Bawumia and any NPP candidate,” NAPO stated.
He also assured nursing trainees that the allowance system would be maintained and that opportunities to work abroad, including in Canada, would be provided.
“In the new NPP manifesto, we said we would continue with the payment of allawa. We will start exporting nurses and teachers. So, even if we cannot find a place for you to work locally, we will organize and facilitate opportunities for you to work in Canada.” Dr. Opoku Prempeh added.
