The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has revealed that the recent promises made by former President John Mahama “seem to be a mere repetition of the essential parts of the NPP Manifesto, embellished with different wording to appear original but lacking any fresh ideas.”
According to him, Mr. Mahama “appears to be out of touch with the realities facing Ghanaians.”
Mr. Ahiagbah added that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) “has entirely forgotten that many of the key initiatives he is proposing are already being implemented by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration, which he claims has done nothing.”
“What is new this time seems to be a rebranded attempt to deceive Ghanaians, much like a so-called miracle herbal remedy being marketed as a cure-all for every challenge facing the country,” the NPP communications director remarked.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Ahiagbah posed a number of questions to the former President. He asked “Where does John Mahama plan to find the funding for all the free initiatives he promises, especially when he claims the economy is bankrupt? Is Mahama aware that Starlink will be operational in Ghana by the end of August 2024?”
He continued, “Does he know that automobile assembly is already underway in Ghana? Is he aware that the current government has been heavily investing in free Technical and Vocational Education and Training since 2022? When did Mahama suddenly realize that traditional grammar schools are outdated?”
The NPP stalwart further argued that “Ghana will not return to the tried and failed leadership of John Mahama. We will not buy the Reset to go back. We are moving forward to a future of possibilities…”
