They said that the Ministry of Finance has not, up to date, released funds for them to acquire equipment that will enable them to embark on a mass registration. As a result, they are not able to open registration centers at vantage points as part particularly in district capitals, in order to allow people to acquire the Ghana Card that is what it is it is not because the people have acquired the US Ghana cards and have refused to go and register. It is simply because they have not been able to get their Ghana Cards.”"

"It is very laughable that our friends in the NPP and Bawumia think that they can once again hoodwink the people with lies."

"Ghanaians are wide awake. The days when Bawumia could get away with his lectures as we saw in opposition which were full of lies, are gone. He got away with it in 2016 and in 2020, but they will not be third time lucky in 2024. The whole propaganda that he was the economic Messiah, and he had the magic wand has been exposed."
