During the same broadcast, Prophet Opambour questioned the feasibility of the New Patriotic Party’s One District, One Factory policy, expressing frustration over unfulfilled promises. He stated, “We don’t want the promise the NPP made in 2016 and 2020 about the One District, One Factory. Where are all the factories? Where are the dams? We don’t want another promise from Bawumia that the Ghana Card can be used to purchase a car when elected. ” He then explained, “That’s why I asked the question when we met Mahama. So I don’t understand why the girl insulted me.”
Background
On November 11, 2024, National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama held a fellowship service with clergymen in Kumasi.
During the event, Prophet Opambour raised doubts about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s recent proposal to allow Ghanaians to use the Ghana Card as part of a credit scoring system to facilitate car purchases.
Afia Pokua criticised Prophet Opambour’s comments on the policy, calling him “shallow-minded” and suggesting he misunderstood the initiative. She remarked, “Anybody who condemns the Ghana Card is a shallow-minded person. This shouldn’t even be a topic for discussion because this same identification card is what has made Europe what it is today.”
