The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that he has his vision and priorities, and given the opportunity by the people of Ghana to lead, he shall govern as his own man with guidance from God Almighty.
“My vision is to build an inclusive, food self-sufficient, data driven and systems based nation that will fully participate in the global digital revolution to solve our problems and also usher in a golden age of benefits from our natural resources.
“I want to lead a nation that improves and unleashes the talents of our youth and offers good jobs with good pay, and sustainable growth with macroeconomic discipline,” he stated.
He noted that as the Presidential Candidate of the NPP, it would be his commitment to the youth of Ghana.
“The talent of our youth in various sectors such as information technology, robotics, entrepreneurship, creative arts, sports, etc. is just amazing. When we bring the talents of the youth together, we will surely build a mighty nation. Together, we can transform this nation and do even more, in many areas.
“I therefore invite the youth, particularly the ‘GenZs’ to join me in this journey of great possibilities. I have a place for you.
“As a technocrat, it was doubted if I would gain space in a politics long dominated by career politicians. This victory is an invitation to technocrats and professionals to join me in this journey of possibilities. The NPP has a place for you. I have a place for you.
“With open arms I invite everyone watching or listening to me tonight to join us on this journey of possibilities. Together we can build this nation.
“I am encouraged by the ingenuity and the can-do spirit of the Ghanaian youth, the tireless efforts of our farmers, the bravery of our fishermen and women, the business acumen of our mothers and sisters in the markets, the passion of our drivers, the dedication to service by our security personnel, the sacrifices of our teachers, as well as the commitment of our doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers.
“I am encouraged by the literate Ghanaian society we are creating, through our free access to secondary education and expanded support for tertiary education. Our country’s future is bright with a highly educated and skilled youthful population, leveraging technology for our economic transformation.
“My brothers and sisters, I am encouraged by the beautiful diversity of our country, our peaceful co-existence which respects each other’s faith, which unites us and brings all of us together for a common goal of seeing a transformed Ghana,” he stated.
REAL WORK
He stated that even though there was a celebration, the real work starts now, and he has no intention of slowing down.
“I will get right back to work, sit down with Ghanaians from all walks of life, from civil society and student organizations to young professionals, stakeholders in the business community and religious leadership. The position I seek needs to be earned, and I intend to show every single voter, from the farmer to the financial head, that I am the right man for the job. I will listen to your concerns and answer your questions because we are partners in this process and any worthwhile gain comes from a communal investment,” he stated.
