NPP living in ‘fool’s paradise’ – Mahama
Former President John Mahama has said the Akufo-Addo government is
living in a fool’s paradise with their assumption that Ghanaians are
happy with their performance so far.
According to him, his interaction with Ghanaians as he toured the
country for the presidential primaries contest has shown him that
Ghanaians are disappointed with the NPP government.
“Let them continue to live in the fool’s paradise and say they have
achieved their promises. Go around to the populace and see if Ghanaians
are happy with what they have done. They continue to say they are
digging dams but in essence what they are doing is a dugout. That’s what
they are called in the villages.
“Go to the people and find out if they feel those promises have been
achieved. The people are disappointed. For many of the things government
talks about, the electorate do not see how it will benefit them,” he
told Radio Gold in an interview Friday.
Mr. Mahama is contesting five other individuals including his former
appointees for the flagbearer slot of the NDC. The election which comes
off tomorrow February 23, will be held in the various 275 constituencies
across the country.
Commenting on why he is still contesting after serving as President
already, Mr. Mahama said he believes he still has something to offer the
nation.
“The greatest service one can provide is service to God and Country. I
don’t see why I should shirk that challenge to put my talent and
experience at the service of my country and people. I have something to
offer. Ghanaians have seen what I can offer. The change of 2016 has not
brought about any positive outcomes. The plans we laid out were very
clear, and if followed would have moved us forward faster. Today,
Ghanaians are the judges.
