The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has celebrated Ghana’s commitment to democracy, lauding the victory of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President-elect John Mahama in the December 7, 2024, presidential election.
In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the PDP stated that the triumph of Ghanaian democracy is a testament to the power of the people against misrule and oppressive policies.
The party drew parallels between Ghana’s political transformation and the ongoing struggles in Nigeria under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Part of the statement read: “The victory of democracy on the platform of the opposition NDC is a clear demonstration of the triumph of the power of the people over misrule and oppressive policies of government as now being witnessed in Nigeria under the corrupt, rudderless and insensitive All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The verdict of the people of Ghana in this Presidential election is a signal to the APC that its days in office are numbered as the power of the people in Nigeria, just like in Ghana, will surely prevail, end APC’s oppressive rule and return Nigeria to the path of good governance, security, political stability and economic prosperity on the platform of the PDP in 2027.
“The PDP therefore calls on all institutions of government especially the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to note the yearning of Nigerians and ensure that all processes are put in place to guarantee that only the Will of the people prevail in elections.
“INEC must note that Nigerians are not ready to accept a repeat of the massive manipulation and perversion of the electoral process as witnessed in the 2019 and 2023 Presidential elections in our country.
“The PDP charges Nigerians to remain firm and steadfast in their resolve to end the suppressive rule of the APC and re-establish good governance on the platform of the PDP come 2027.”
