He believes that a move to thwart government business in Parliament has been handled well by the party and that in the end, the end goal will be that 'ultimately Ghana wins.'

Ghanaians will be better off giving NPP 40 years to govern – Former NPP MP
General News of Monday, 24 October 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comFormer Member of Parliament for Okaikoi North, Issah Fuseini, has urged Ghanaians to continue to retain the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to govern for at least forty (40) years. He stated that should Ghanaians give NPP at least 40 years to govern, the NDC would be “dead and buried” before it has any opportunity to win any election to also govern. “The National Democratic Congress is a public institution and being a public institution, we should be interested because at least they have held the reigns of power in this country before. I am sure by then the National Democratic Congress would have been dead and buried long before then,” the former legislator said. The NDC has accused the NPP of mismanagement owing to the record high inflation rates, fuel price hikes and the fast depreciation of the Cedi.
