"The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government is pumping millions into the media to cover their incompetence and manufacture another version of reality for us. They take all of us as being dumb, so they pay the media to tell a certain story and change the narrative," the National Youth Organizer for the (NDC), George Opare Addo, popularly known as Pablo, disclosed during the NDC Youth Manifesto launch at UPSA in Accra on Monday. Pablo condemned the government's failure to address the country's pressing issues, highlighting the alarming 21.7% youth unemployment rate, with 1.4 million young people without jobs, and 8.4 million Ghanaians going without food daily. "We are all too familiar with the 001 or 100 or 000. This has become a formula that most of us live by. And if you don't understand it, what it simply means is that one stands for the only meal you have a day," he added.
