He said he is the man to turn things around in Ghana should he get the [ads1]mandate to lead.
“You remember somebody referring to the party as a lame horse. Lame horse, how do you ride a lame horse to victory? how do you ride a lame horse to a racecourse? Dr. Spio-Garbrah questioned claiming”, he said.
Dr. Garbrah is contesting to lead the NDC in the 2020 general elections.
“So I am the candidate who can take a lame horse convert it into a racehorse and ride that horse into victory in 2020”, he added.
He averred that the “NPP is making mistakes which are frustrating and annoying to the people of Ghana”.
While claiming there are elements of corruption all over the government, the NDC bigwig said the NPP promised many things which they are having a problem fulfilling” and that overpromising and underperformance has been the bane of the Nana Addo administration.
“Ghanaians are looking for a competent leader, someone who understands the broad issues affecting Ghana as a very small atom in the global economy”, he noted.
Dr. Garbrah also said: “NDC delegates believe that when you have lost an election, you go through rebranding exercise before you come back again. You don’t take the same product to the market again.…by share coincidence, the party has somebody who knows how to rebrand, it’s not just about talking in the vacuum.”
