The party should therefore address their own problem and not rope NPP into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the opposition party has proven that they lack ideas to manage the country and it would be dangerous to hand over the reins of government in their hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Progressive Opposition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He said that while in opposition, the NPP was able to present to the table life-changing policies such as the \u2018one village, one dam\u2019, Free SHS, \u2018one constituency, one warehouse\u2019, \u2018one constituency, one million dollars\u2019, among others, but the NDC does not even have the capacity to present an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolitics is a serious business. Opposition parties must be serious with alternative policies and not resort to jokes as is being done\u00a0by the current opposition NDC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that due to the lack of seriousness on the part of the opposition party, it would be \u201ccheap and unproductive\u201d for the NPP to engage them, reiterating a call made by the party\u2019s Communication Director, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, that the NPP would not fall for the NDC to set agenda for the 2020 general election.<\/p>\n<p>He said the NDC has been dazed by the good testimonies of the President\u2019s hard work and would want to equalise it rather bizarrely with insults.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Nana Kwasi\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nana B addressing the media The National Youth Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, aka Nana B, has said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has mastered the art of political mudslinging but lacks basic ideas to move the country forward.
