An intense argument erupted on the streets of Ashaiman between a woman, a staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), and a young man, a loyalist of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The disagreement centred on the country’s current economic state and the handling of ongoing projects by the current administration.
‘Ghana would have thrived if NPP continued NDC’s projects’- Woman sparks debate
The woman argued passionately that Ghana’s situation would be better if the current government had continued the projects initiated by the previous administration. “If Nana Addo had continued the projects Mahama started, we wouldn’t be in this situation. The prices of tomatoes, garden eggs, and peppers have never been this high since I was born here in Ashaiman,” she said.
She emphasised the unprecedented rise in food prices, attributing it to the government’s failure to sustain previous initiatives. However, the young man countered that such increases are expected as part of economic growth. “Why don’t you expect prices to go up? Everyone is experiencing this,” he said.
The woman further insisted that had Pressident Akuffo Addo continued the projects, Ghana would have progressed instead of regressing. “You are taking us backwards. Remember what Mahama did,” she added.

God’s Plan (@_Gods_Plan_) tweeted, “It’s so true, when a government continues unfinished projects, our country wouldn’t be in this mess. It would save us money for other new projects. They think only about what they achieved for themselves.”
Youngerz (@Youngerz10) noted, “So the point here is NDC gets one vote and NPP also gets one vote for Ashaiman.”
Bawumia THE CLOWN (@VrrVRR20) questioned, “How do NPP supporters now accept that things were supposed to increase 3-5 times but cannot accept the fact that things should not even increase 2x in the previous administration? How? I mean how?”
FiIfI (@khofidezzy) urged, “Please, we shouldn’t fight each other but the government. They owe us a duty to make our lives comfortable, and we all know how things are now.”
The heated exchanged in Ashaiman highlights the deep political divisions and economic concerns among Ghanaians, reflecting broader national debates on governance and development.
