Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration ‘is the biggest political scam’ – John Mahama

Published

Former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has described the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government as a disaster and ‘the biggest political scam’ in the Fourth Republic.

Addressing some Ghanaians during his building Ghana Tour at Nalerigu in the North East Region of Ghana, he said, “ Indeed I say that the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration is the biggest political scam in the fourth republic, they package themselves very beautifully with a lot of lies and deceit and they got the people to vote for them.”

According to him, the hypocrisy is annoying, adding that “This is the same government where someone said that if it is about just borrowing and spending even their child in primary school can be president, every sector is in trouble.”

He said all the state-owned enterprises that were making a profit under the erstwhile NDC administration are all making losses.

“Today it is just a story of broken promises, the good thing about democracy is, every four years we have the opportunity to make a change, we have the opportunity to make a choice,” he noted.

He added that Ghanaians are called upon again on December 7, 2024, to exercise their mandate and make a choice.

According to the former President, after what the country has gone through in seven and half years, he would be surprised should anyone vote for the NPP again.

“Maybe those who have made money under this government, but I know that the majority of Ghanaians have seen a reversal in the quality of their lives,” John Mahama concluded

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.

He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.

Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.

The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
