Newly elected NPP National Youth Organiser, Abanga Fusani Yakubu, has outlined plans to use social media and grassroots mobilisation to counter the NDC's messaging ahead of the 2028 elections. Speaking on Joy News' PM Express, Mr Abanga stated that the NPP must intensify its online presence and mobilisation efforts to win young voters for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. He acknowledged that securing four million youth votes may seem ambitious but is achievable through hard work and effective mobilisation.
Mr Abanga intends to personally lead the mobilisation efforts, joining NPP members in various regions and constituencies to promote Dr Bawumia's agenda. He accused the NDC of using social media to undermine the achievements of the previous NPP administration, propagating lies and fake propaganda. Mr Abanga emphasised that the NPP must respond more aggressively in the digital space to counter the NDC's online presence.
The NPP National Youth Organiser cited fuel prices and the government's 24-hour economy policy as key issues to challenge the NDC's record. He criticised the NDC for promising lies and emphasised that the NPP must make its presence felt on social media. Mr Abanga also expressed concerns about cocoa prices, stating that farmers are now receiving less than previously promised.
Mr Abanga claimed that cocoa was previously bought at GH¢3,100 under Dr Bawumia but is now being bought at GH¢2,000. He argued that the government had promised to buy cocoa at GH¢6,000 and should not cite global prices as an excuse. As National Youth Organiser, Mr Abanga's role is to lead the mobilisation of young people ahead of the 2028 elections.
Mr Abanga stated that he must take charge and mobilise the youth to prosecute an effective campaign, ensuring Dr Bawumia wins the 2028 election. He emphasised that the current government is not addressing the needs of the youth, and as a representative of the NPP, he must act to mobilise the youth. Mr Abanga's target of four million youth votes is a key aspect of the NPP's strategy.
The NPP's plans to counter the NDC's messaging on social media and through grassroots mobilisation are part of a broader strategy to win the 2028 elections. Mr Abanga's efforts will focus on promoting Dr Bawumia's agenda and challenging the NDC's record on key issues. The NPP's mobilisation efforts are expected to intensify in the coming months.
As the NPP prepares for the 2028 elections, the party's youth wing will play a crucial role in mobilisation efforts. Mr Abanga's leadership and vision for the NPP's youth wing will be critical in determining the party's success in the elections. The NPP's plans to counter the NDC's messaging on social media and through grassroots mobilisation are a key aspect of its strategy.
