Nana Addo sweet-talked Ghanaians into power – Mahama

The Presidential Candidate of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama says the Akufo-Addo led NPP came into government using sweet words and lofty promises to deceive Ghanaians into voting for them.

Mr Mahama said the tenure of President Akufo-Addo has shown that he intentionally made promises he did not intend to keep

"From the pledge to reign in corruption, reduce borrowing and run a lean government, Mr Mahama said evidence abound that President Akufo-Addo and the NPP regime were doing the exact opposite of what they pledged when they were in opposition.

“This government has been a scam on Ghanaians. In 2016, they said all kinds of sweet things, they said we were sitting on money and that Ghana was sorrowful and that we should vote for them to transform Ghana in 16 months. But today we are even hungrier than we were in 2016,” Mr Mahama told party supporters in Bongo in the Upper East Region.

“The President said in 2016 that he was coming to fight corruption but today the President and his family are swimming in corruption,” he added as quoted by Dailymailgh.

Mahama noted that  a recent survey found that more than 60 per cent of Ghanaians said their livelihoods were worse off than it was four years ago.

The NDC Presidential Candidate said as a result of these, voters must vote President Akufo-Addo and the NPP out of power and return the NDC to create an equal and just society for all. 

This, he said, showed that the NPP government was a threat to the development of an inclusive society.
