ACEG Calls on Ghanaians to Vote for Mahama, Criticizes NPP’s Economic Management



The President of Arise for Change for Economic Growth (ACEG), DS. Mahama Idrisu, has launched the group’s new initiative, the Regional Crusade on the People’s Economy, at Freedom Center in Kokomlemle, Accra. The crusade, touted as the first of its kind in Ghanaian politics, aims to engage citizens directly on critical economic issues. In his address, Idrisu urged Ghanaians to consider the state of the economy under the current administration and vote for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming general elections.


Idrisu criticized the current government led by President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, arguing that the economy has sharply declined under their leadership. He noted that Dr. Bawumia, once promoted as the “economic messiah” of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), now avoids discussing the economy, shifting focus instead to digitalization. “Digitalization has long been part of our development journey, even before the NPP came to power,” he stated, adding that the NPP’s focus on technology should not distract citizens from the country’s economic challenges.


Highlighting the high cost of living, dwindling GDP growth, and strained fiscal policies, Idrisu argued that the NPP has mismanaged the nation’s resources, leading to widespread hardship. According to Idrisu, ACEG provided economic policy recommendations to the government in 2021, but they were ignored, worsening Ghana’s economic predicament.


ACEG, a registered organization under Ghana’s Company Act, aims to inform citizens on economic matters, organize discussions, and offer business training to help Ghanaians thrive in the local economy. The group’s membership, currently at over 136,000, is actively campaigning across constituencies, supporting the NDC’s efforts in areas where local candidates face challenges. 



Idrisu urged all citizens to vote massively for Mahama, describing the 2024 elections as a battle to “save Ghana,” benefiting not only the NDC but also workers, farmers, youth, and traditional leaders. He emphasized the need for vigilant monitoring of the voting process, calling on citizens to stay at polling centers until votes are counted and verified.


As the launch concluded, Idrisu called on Ghanaians to put the country first, expressing confidence in Mahama’s compassionate leadership to steer the nation toward economic recovery.

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

Image
The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Calls for Unity After Court Victory

The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court. The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors. In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court...

Physician Assistant Accuses Tema Court of Bias, Issues Ultimatum Over Child Custody Battle

Image
Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
