In an energetic move to express their grievances over the poor mismanagement of the country by the ruling government, over 30 lecturers from the University of Ghana, University of Professional Studies (UPSA) and the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) have publicly thrown their support behind former President John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming December general election.
The professors, led by Professor Nana Ama Brown, the Head of Physics Department, the University of Ghana and Professor Kpessa-Whyte, political scientist and lecturer, the University of Ghana criticized the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration, claiming it has severely damaged Ghana’s educational system and contributed to widespread hardship among the populace.
The campaigners were seen distributing NDC paraphernalia and T-shirts to drivers, commuters in traffic, and pedestrians along key routes between Okponglo and Shaishi, as well as in front of the University of Ghana.
They urged Ghanaians to reelect the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as President of Ghana.
Many participants expressed their frustration with the NPP’s governance, with some labeling it the worst regime Ghana has experienced since the start of the Fourth Republic.
Her comments echoed the sentiments of many Ghanaians who feel disillusioned by the present administration’s policies.
Prof. Kpessa-Whyte also addressed the crowd, urging citizens to vote overwhelmingly for the NDC in the upcoming elections to restore hope and stability to the nation.
“It’s time to reclaim our future and ensure a better Ghana for all,” he emphasized
