The Vice Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has called on the Akufo-Addo administration, to account for its unfulfilled promise of building an airport in Cape Coast.
She questioned the whereabouts of the promised project, which Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, assured the people of Cape Coast during the last election campaign.
Speaking to NDC supporters in Anafo, within the Cape Coast South Constituency, as part of her campaign tour of the Central Region on Monday, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, accused the Akufo-Addo –Bawumia government of neglecting the region and taking its people for granted.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, expressed disappointment over what she described as a lack of significant development projects in the Central Region under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
“After eight years in government, the NPP has failed to deliver any major projects to benefit the Central Region,” she said, contrasting this with the achievements of the John Mahama-led NDC government.

She pointed to the construction of the ultra-modern Kotokuraba Market under the Mahama administration, which was completed in less than four years, as an example of NDC’s commitment to the region.
She criticized the NPP for its inability to complete a smaller market project in Anafo, even after two terms in office.
The NDC running mate, urged the electorate in the Central Region to vote overwhelmingly for the NDC’s presidential candidate, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming elections.
She emphasized that an NDC government under Mahama would focus on job creation, empowering women financially, improving education, and accelerating development across all regions.
The former Minister for Education, also advised against “skirt and blouse” voting, where voters choose a presidential candidate from one party and parliamentary candidates from another.
She stressed that the next Mahama administration would require a working majority in Parliament to effectively implement its policies and fulfill its campaign promises.
“The success of the NDC government will depend on having a strong, unified team in Parliament,” she noted.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, concluded by urging supporters to rally behind the NDC at all levels to ensure comprehensive development and governance.
