Shamima Muslim, an NDC Communicator, strongly criticized the NPP’s campaign strategy, claiming it is fundamentally rooted in lies and deception.
She argued that this dishonesty would ultimately lead to the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 election.
According to Muslim, the NPP’s campaign is driven by desperation, attempting to cover up its failures with false narratives.
She believes that voters will see through these tactics, and the lack of truth in the NPP’s messaging will work against them in the upcoming election.
“Twenty days to the end of their draconian rule, where all else has failed, their campaign had lost all traction, and NPP assigns have decided to still actively go around telling reasonable citizens that NDC will cancel FSHS”.

Shamima Muslim continued her critique of the NPP by asserting that the party is “choking on its own lies,” struggling to maintain a narrative that is clearly losing credibility.
She urged Ghanaians to reflect on why the NPP continues to bring up the issue of the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy, despite it being a settled matter.
Muslim emphasized that the NDC has repeatedly stated that it will not cancel the Free SHS program, yet the NPP keeps resurrecting this false narrative in an attempt to mislead the public.
She questioned the NPP’s persistence in pushing this baseless claim, suggesting that it is a clear indication of their desperation and inability to move forward with a positive agenda for the country.
The NDC Communicator alleged that if the NPP were to finally move beyond the issue of the Free SHS policy, it would open up an important space for a thorough audit and honest debate about the actual implementation of the program.
She suggested that focusing on the effectiveness and challenges of Free SHS, rather than continuing to use it as a political weapon, would allow for a more transparent discussion of its successes and shortcomings.
Muslim emphasized that such an audit could provide valuable insights into the program’s impact on education and suggest ways to improve its delivery for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
Audit of Free SHS to Reveal NPP’s Failures and Corruption
Furthermore, Shamima Muslim emphasized that an audit into the Free SHS program would uncover numerous issues like the millions of dollars the current NPP administration owes to suppliers.
She noted that there is also the issue of procurement corruption, the expired rice that has been used to feed students, and the lack of improved infrastructure to eliminate the double-track system.
Muslim also highlighted the collapse of school sports programs and the disempowerment of local suppliers.
Additionally, she noted the lack of textbooks and the true cost of the Free SHS program, which forces parents to buy items like prospectus materials.
She also questioned the absence of dedicated funding for the program and the fact that the Free SHS bill has yet to be laid, even after eight years.
“Can you now see why the Nana/Bawumia/Napo trio will want all our attention to stay on Who is canceling what no one has said they are canceling?
“So once again HE John Dramani Mahama will improve, expand access, remove inefficiencies, decentralize school supply procurement, set up a dedicated source of funding, empower school management boards, remove procurement corruption, and pave the way for a truly efficient, effective, responsive, FSHS program”.

She further argued that the public understands that not everyone who claims to have fathered or given birth to a child is necessarily a good nurturer.
In the same vein, she stated that if the NPP insists they are responsible for the current state of Free SHS, the NDC, and H.E. John Mahama are fully committed to nurturing a more comprehensive and improved Free SHS program. “So fellow Ghanaians settle this matter once and for all come December 7th”.
She urged voters to make wise choices, to vote for truth and honesty, and to support a better Free SHS program, emphasizing that John Mahama is the right candidate for the job.
