Former Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama has received plaudits for his contributions to the development of the country’s infrastructure from Bernard Oduro Takyi, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) media team.
He claimed that if President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo could accomplish even half of what Mahama did, he would be named the class captain in heaven by God in a speech to party members, friends, and sympathizers in Kwatire Adentia, Sunyani West Constituency.
“If President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is able to deliver half of the achievement of former President John Mahama, then he would be appointed by God as the class captain in Heaven,” the communicator stated.
The former President Mahama’s accomplishments in delivering significant infrastructural development put him apart from the present NPP government led by Nana Addo, according to Bernard Takyi, a qualified chartered economist.
He made a point of highlighting the notable advancements made in the health and education areas while Mahama was president.
He stated, “Under the health sector alone, His Excellency John Mahama constructed, equipped, and operationalized five polyclinics in the Brong Ahafo region, namely; Kwatire, Techimantia, Bomaa, Wamfie, and Nkrankwanta. Our flagbearer, then president, built fifteen (15) community day Senior High Schools in our region and undertook several other educational projects.”
Bernard Takyi also pushed the audience to evaluate their region’s accomplishments since Nana Addo took power in 2017 and contrast them to the changes President Mahama started.
