ECONOMIC STABILIZATION OR STABILIZED SUFFERING? NDC’S BIG CLAIMS DON’T MATCH GHANA’S REALITY
Ghanaians are being fed another round of NDC spin, that the economy is “stabilized” and the cedi is “strong.” Let’s be clear: what they call stability is just fancy talk with no improvement in everyday life.
The NDC keeps telling the public that the cedi is rising and the economy is steadier. But ask the average Ghanaian: has your life improved? Has the cost of living come down? Is food cheaper? Are transport fares lower? The honest answer is NO. Food prices are STILL high. Basic commodities remain overpriced. Cooking oil, rice, bread, gari, tomatoes, fuel, and electricity costs are still heavy on family budgets. Nothing about this so-called stability touches the pocket of ordinary Ghanaians.
They celebrate numbers on a page: GDP figures, exchange rate graphs, stability headlines, but Ghanaians feel no relief. The cost of living is rising. Every day expenses are squeezing households. That is not stability. That is stagnation disguised as progress.
Worst of all, even key voices within the NDC are admitting it. As their own National Chairman said, “We all campaigned for Mahama. Now Mahama is in government, and your lives haven’t changed.” Think about that! The party in power acknowledges that the promises made in 2024 are not reflected in 2026. People are wearing the same slippers they wore last year. Nothing has changed. That is not leadership, it’s failure.
Ghanaians deserve more than spin. They deserve real change.
Under the NPP, job creation and economic empowerment had visible outcomes. Businesses grew. Youth programs delivered placements with real employers. People saw tangible opportunities. Markets were calmer. Although challenges persisted, ordinary citizens saw movement. With the NDC, all we see are words with no follow-through.
A strong cedi on paper means nothing if Ghanaians cannot afford a decent meal, pay rent, or send their children to school without struggle. Stabilization must be lived, not just announced.
So ask yourself: Are you better off today than you were in 2024? If the answer is NO, and for most Ghanaians it clearly is, then it’s obvious that this government’s claims are empty bragging.
Stop voting for speeches. Stop voting for slogans. Vote for leadership that actually improves lives.
The choice is simple:
More rhetoric from the NDC, or real change under the NPP.
Ghana needs results. Not excuses. Not celebrations that don’t translate to everyday life.
Choose change. Choose improvement. Choose progress.
