Let Easter have a positive impact in our lives- Apostle Newton to Christians

National Missions Director of Pentecostal Life Church International, Apostle Isaac Newton has advised Christians to allow the Easter celebrations have a positive impact in their everyday live.

According to him, the celebration of Easter is just not a mere festival which is been celebrated annually but rather to remember the death of Jesus Christ our Savior who died for us.

Speaking to Silver fm’s Kwabena Wireko during their Easter Sunday Service at Sepaase in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality said, the death of Jesus has brought a light into our lives hence we should live a life that will allow the death of Jesus not be in vain.

I believe Mahama should be changed as flagbearer – Former NDC National Organizer

Former National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Yaw Boateng Gyan, has stated his strong conviction that former President John Dramani Mahama should be dropped as a candidate for the party in the 2024 elections.

Former President Mahama, having lost re-election in 2016, contested the presidency again in 2020 as flagbearer of the NDC but lost again.

Ahead of the 2024 elections, John Dramani Mahama is once again tipped as the likely presidential candidate of the NDC which is aiming for a comeback to power after what will be an eight-year opposition term.

Speaking to the media, he preached against the party pitching John Dramani Mahama as its flagbearer come December 7, 2024.

According to him, Mahama has done a lot for the country and is time for him to step aside for others to continue.

He added that, in 2016, they allowed him to lead the party but failed followed by 2020 elections and again failed so it will be a disaster if they allow him to lead them again ahead of the 2024 general elections.

Ahead of the NDC’s election of a flagbearer for 2024 former President Mahama’s name has emerged as the potential candidate with massive endorsements from several members and bigwigs in the party.

However, some other names including former Finance Minister, Dr Kwabena Duffuor has emerged as potential contenders for the flagbearership.

Mr. Gyan again said, the NDC should keep the name of the one who will lead them a secret as the NPP has done because as at now no one knows who will be the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

EIU prediction on NDC: I don’t agree with EIU- Prof Gyampo

A senior lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof. Ransford Gyampo has reacted to the prediction from the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) that, the NDC will lose the 2024 Presidential elections with Mahama as their candidate.

According to him, they did a survey that turn up a certain findings prior to the 2020 general elections and in those findings, it didn’t give Mahama a chance but in practical reality, John Mahama produced a result that has never been produced in the history of Ghana.

He added that, the performance of Mahama is the result of the hang parliament we have now in the country.

EIU’s in its five-year forecast for Ghana released on April 13, 2022, said that the opposition party, NDC, has a higher probability to be victorious in the next general elections.

Also, the report said that the government under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is faced with numerous challenges including unemployment, an economic downturn, and corruption among others which will fuel citizens’ sentiments against the governing party.

…PROF. GYAMPO FIRST….

Prof Gyampo again urged the NDC to study the report vigorously through that, they will be able to know if they should work along with the report or vice versa.

EIU report: We accept the report- Nana B

National Youth Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye aka, Nana B has stated that, the NPP has accepted the report from the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) that the government under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is faced with numerous challenges including unemployment, an economic downturn, and corruption among others which will fuel citizens’ sentiments against the governing party.

“Our baseline forecast is that ongoing public dissatisfaction with the slow pace of improvements in governance-such as infrastructure development, job creation and easing of corruption-will trigger anti-incumbency factors and push the electorate to seek a change,” the EIU report stated.

Nana B speaking to the media said, the report has given them hope to continue to manage the economy.

According to him, they have started working hard especially where the report cited to help develop the country.

He added that, though covi-19 pandemic has brought hardship on everybody but believe that, things will change for the better.

…NANA B FIRST….

Citing on the report that, the NDC will lose the 2024 elections if they bring Mahama on board, Nana B said, the NPP are ready for anyone who the NDC will bring onboard.

Don’t blame us for current economic crisis – Russia fires at govts

The Russian Embassy in Ghana has taken exception to the attribution of the current economic crisis across the globe to the Vladimir Putin-led invasion of Ukraine in February.

“However, the truth is different,” the Embassy said in a tweet on Monday.

“The Embassy wishes to shed some light on the roots and drivers of this crisis and provide a comprehensive and objective analysis without emotions and political prejudice.”

In a thread to the main tweet, Kremlin’s representative in Accra explained that the current situation in the food market, for instance, started two years ago and “not a result of two months of this year”.

However a Economic Consultant, Bismark Osei reacting to this said, food prices in the global market since the war started between February and March.

According to him, wheat price has increased 15%, fertilizer has increase by 100% and maize has increase by 300% so it means that, the war has have a negative impact across the world which Ghana is among.

He added that, the Russian Ambassador is trying to shift blame but he think both Russian and Ukraine should find amicable solution to this war rather than blaming others.
