2024 elections: 'It's better to sell Ghana to Google, Elon Musk than vote for NPP again' — NDC youth organizer

Amorse Blessing Amos, the Greater Accra Regional Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has strongly urged Ghanaians to unite and vote against the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.

In an interview on TV XYZ, Mr Amos it is better to sell Ghana to tech giants Google and Elon Musk than vote for the NPP again.

He noted that even President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo himself had acknowledged his administration's failure to alleviate the country's economic hardships and is hoping that the next leader would be able to provide relief to Ghanaians.

"In fact, no sane person in Ghana today will say that Ghanaians are not suffering. In fact, the President himself said that Ghanaians are suffering, and he is hoping whoever will take over will eliminate us from the economic hardship.

“This means that, for him, he has admitted that whatever he can do, he has done it, and he couldn't see any better results," Mr Amos argued.

He further referenced seasoned economists in an open letter Professor Frimpong-Boateng, who stated that the damage inflicted on the Ghanaian economy by the NPP would take approximately 30 years to repair.

"You took only eight years to cause 30 years' destruction, and you are still asking for breaking the eight, then it is better we sell Ghana to Google and Elon Musk.

“They have money to buy the whole of Ghana so that we will know that we have been enslaved. And with the help of God, it will not happen," he intimated.

The state of the Ghanaian economy has been a prominent issue in recent months, marked by soaring inflation, a depreciating currency, a declining quality of life, and a high cost of living.

The government has attributed these challenges to various factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Ghana secured a $3 billion IMF loan to shore up the sinking economy, with the first tranche of $600 million credited to government to address the economic challenges.
