Ghana needs me than Mahama, Akufo-Addo – Nduom

The 2016 flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom says Ghana needs his economic expertise to accelerate development.

According to him, even though both President John Mahama and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flaagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo of the have talents, he is the best bet for the country ahead of the November general elections.

In a statement, Dr. Nduom said he “recognizes that Nana Akufo-Addo and Ivor Greenstreet have talent as lawyers; that President John Mahama has talent as a communicator; and that Dr. Edward Mahama has talent as a medical doctor. Nonetheless, he believes that the talents he has practiced successfully as an economic and financial expert plus entrepreneur, are the ones Ghana needs now,”.

The statement also touted the local and international achievements of the business mogul.

“Dr. Nduom has worked hard with Groupe Nduom management and staff and his family to create thousands of jobs for Ghanaians. He has also led his companies to make strategic investments outside the country to earn much needed foreign currency for the country. He is known and recognized everywhere as “Edwumawura.”

Recognising the fact that no one is perfect, the PPP leader underscored the need for Ghanaians to “re-dedicate ourselves and make sure we kill and remove the rot of corruption from our country - government, elections, businesses, churches and mosques and society in general”.

Dr. Nduom charged Ghanaians not to settle for less, or fall for the "wasted vote" propaganda and end up voting for "the lesser of two evils".

He challenge the other presidential candidates to make a personal commitment against corruption by making their tax returns and their asset declarations public.
