Former President, John Dramani Mahama failed the country during his tenure and should not be re-elected, this is according to the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah.
Mr. Ahiagbah highlighted that Ghanaians have moved on from the “painful experiences” of Mahama’s presidency, which included the “historic dumsor” (power outages) that crippled businesses, led to job losses, caused avoidable deaths, and resulted in the cancellation of teacher and nursing trainee allowances, among other issues.
In a post on his X platform, Ahiagbah stated that Mahama offers no redemption.
He contrasted this with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he described as embodying the spirit of overcoming adversity, having risen from humble beginnings in Sakasaka, Tamale, to the presidency.
“Bawumia is the epitome of pulling oneself up by the bootstrap because he has worked hard from a humble beginning at Sakasaka, in Tamale, to the presidency of the Republic of Ghana.
“This is the story of the majority of Ghanaians, working hard against all odds to make it. With Bawumia’s experience from the bottom up, his presidency will be more sensitive and advance the interests of the masses.
“As for the alternative, H.E. John Mahama, there is no redemption for him. He failed the masses when he had the opportunity to rule Ghana, and we have moved on from the painful experiences of his presidency such as the historic dumsor that vaquished businesses, employments opportunities, avoidable deaths and the cancelation of teacher & nursing trainee allowances, among others.
“Bawumia is best to lead. A vote for Bawumia is a breakthrough for the masses who are mostly youth and women,” he wrote.
