TEMA CENTRAL NDC

22/09/2025

Kotoka International Airport remains one of Ghana’s most striking paradoxes. Named after the man who led the coup that toppled Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, it stands as a daily reminder that we have not yet confronted the full weight of our history. Ghana has achieved many milestones, yet we have hesitated to be bold with Nkrumah’s vision — a self-reliant nation and a united Africa. Until we change this mindset, the airport will continue to symbolize not just our progress, but our unfinished business with destiny.

Kotoka International Airport still stands as a reminder that, as Ghanaians, we have not yet fully confronted or embraced the bold vision Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had for Ghana and Africa. Until we change this, we remain short of the courage he envisioned for our future as a country

If you allow your identity to control your morality, know that you are being misled. Let me be plain: if we in the NDC begin to defend wrong simply because it carries our party’s name, then we are no better than those we criticized yesterday.

Comrades, let’s be careful. Power is not a shield for misconduct. If we cover up rot now, it will eat us from within and destroy the very credibility that brought us back into government. We cannot preach accountability in opposition and practice hypocrisy in power.

The party must remember—our first loyalty is to Ghana, not blind partisanship. If we fail to hold ourselves to higher standards, the people will judge us, and history will not spare us.

The Enzymes of Power: Ghana Between Two Presidencies

Power, like chemistry, needs catalysts — enzymes that speed up or distort its natural flow. In Ghana, the contrasting leadership of former President Akufo-Addo and current President John Dramani Mahama offers a lesson in how these enzymes can either fuel progress or accelerate decline.

1. Akufo-Addo Era — Enzymes of Borrowing and Patronage

President Akufo-Addo came to power on the promise of transformation, but the enzymes that surrounded him betrayed the vision.

Borrowing as an enzyme: Excessive debt became the fuel of governance, not productivity. The economy swelled on loans, leaving behind fragility.

Patronage networks: The power cycle quickened, but not toward development — rather toward rewarding allies, multiplying bureaucracies, and sustaining political dominance.

Erosion of trust: The moral enzymes — honesty, accountability — weakened, leaving cynicism as the main reaction in society.

These enzymes did not merely slow growth; they catalyzed an accelerated collapse of fiscal stability and public trust.

2. Mahama Era — The Enzymes to Be Activated

Now, President Mahama’s return to power comes with a different challenge. He inherits not just a broken economy but weakened enzymes of national confidence.

Discipline as an enzyme: To rebuild credibility, fiscal discipline and transparent governance must catalyze public trust.

Innovation and Digitalization: Beyond slogans, real investment in technology, entrepreneurship, and productivity can act as enzymes of competitiveness.

Unity and Inclusion: With Ghana’s tribal, partisan, and generational divisions, Mahama must deploy social enzymes that rebuild cohesion — reminding Ghanaians that nations are built by unity, not uniformity.

3. The Lesson for Ghana

Leadership is never raw power; it is always mediated by enzymes. The Akufo-Addo years showed how corrosive enzymes can accelerate decline. The Mahama years must now prove whether positive enzymes can accelerate renewal.

Closing Line:
"History will not only judge Ghana’s leaders, but also the enzymes they allowed to flourish. For it is those catalysts that decide whether power refines — or destroys."

Unexplained Poverty: The Silent Scandal

Across Ghana, poverty is more common than unexplained wealth. Yet, while sudden wealth quickly grabs headlines, sparks suspicion, and triggers audits, poverty is treated as normal — almost as though it is part of our destiny.

But poverty is not destiny. Poverty is a symptom of failure — failure of leadership, of systems, and of accountability.

Think about it: how can communities blessed with gold, cocoa, oil, and fertile land remain poor generation after generation? Why do teachers and nurses, after serving the nation for decades, retire into misery instead of dignity? Why do budget allocations to schools and hospitals vanish, leaving children to study under trees and patients on bare floors?

We have normalized suffering in ways we would never tolerate if it were sudden unexplained wealth. And that is the real scandal.

The Case for Balanced Lifestyle Audits

If lifestyle audits are truly about accountability, then they must cut both ways.

Yes, they should probe unexplained mansions and bank accounts — but they must also ask:

Why do essential services keep failing despite annual budget allocations?

Why do infrastructure projects stall even after funds are released?

Why do so many hard-working people end their careers in poverty?

If unexplained wealth signals corruption, then unexplained poverty signals neglect. Both are cancers eating away at our society.

Conclusion

The truth is this: the bigger scandal in Ghana is not just that some grow rich overnight — but that so many remain poor forever.

Poverty must not be romanticized as humility or accepted as fate. It is neither. It is an injustice.

If we want to build a fair society, then our fight for accountability must shine a light not only on how wealth is acquired, but also on why poverty persists in a nation so rich in resources.

Because true justice means asking both questions: “How did you get so rich?” and “Why are so many still so poor?”

Fellow Ghanaians,

Tema — like Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, Tamale, and other metropolitan centers — was built not just on cement and steel, but on diversity, trade, and resilience. In these cities, one quickly learns that what matters most is not where someone comes from, but what they can do, what they can contribute, and how they can move with others toward a shared future.

In classrooms, workplaces, and markets across Ghana, people from every background sit side by side. Fantes, Ewes, Gas, Dagombas, Ashantis, Northerners — all come together as classmates, teammates, and neighbors. The bonds formed there show us clearly: our future cannot be built on narrow politics or tribal thinking. Our future will be built on mindset — a mindset that sees Ghana as one, that values talent over identity, and ideas over labels.

Kwame Nkrumah, decades ago, already saw this. Independence was never an end in itself. He believed in something bigger: a Ghana that could rise above division, and an Africa united in dignity and progress. His vision was not an illusion. It was a call to courage.

But sustaining that vision has not been easy. Too often, politics reduces us to fragments. Too often, leaders pit citizens against each other for votes instead of uniting them for growth.

That is why the challenge today is not just about fixing the economy. It is about sustaining the Ghanaian project — the vision of a modern, inclusive nation where every citizen feels seen, valued, and part of the journey.

And let us be clear: Ghana can only develop under a developed mindset. A mindset that refuses to be trapped by cynicism, by divisions, or by short-term politics. A mindset that embraces innovation, digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and global competitiveness.

Think about the youth of today — many are growing up in cities where cultures blend daily. For them, the question is no longer, “What tribe are you?” but “What can you build? What can you code? What can you design? What problem can you solve?”

This is the Ghana that must be nurtured — a Ghana where surnames don’t determine opportunity, where background doesn’t limit future, and where ideas and integrity become the greatest assets.

If such a mindset is built, Ghana will not only rise but lead Africa into its next chapter. Nations are not built by uniformity — they are built by unity. And Ghana — this mixed, diverse, metropolitan Ghana — has all it takes to prove it to the world.

Ghana can and must rise — when the mindset of its people rises first.

Thank you.
