The General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has pleaded with members, supporters of the party and the electorate to support and assist it to bring victory and liberation to the citizenry in the 2024 general election.
"The party has a well-thought-out Economic Development Plan aimed at ensuring the country attained economic independence as we as a party go forward to create internal mechanisms and structures to enable us to win power in 2024 to liberate the nation," she stressed.
Nana Jantuah appealed to all comrades to support and assist the cause towards bringing victory and liberation to the country since she needs CPP to come on board at the crucial moment of its existence.
Making the call in a press statement to mark CPP's 74th anniversary, Nana Jantuah said the party fought and gained independence for Ghana with the view to create jobs through massive industrialisation drive, quest to liberalise from claws of colonialism, imperialism and also ensure citizens were capable of managing its affairs.
However, it noted that as it stands today, the dreams of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah for self-sufficient and sustainable nation had been dashed because of policies, programmes and social interventions that did not benefit them.
"Our nation has no Import Substitution Policy to ensure there is cap on goods and services that has to be imported into the country, an attempt at industrialisation is left in hands of foreigners whose only interest is to make profit, and repatriate most of their resources out of our country.
