Sammi Awuku
The
National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has
asked former President John Dramani Mahama to explain to Ghanaians the kind of
mistakes he made, for which reason he wants to come back to correct them.
“The
2020 elections are going to be an election between the kingdom of God and the
kingdom of darkness because everything within us will be tested. When Mr. Mahama
says he is coming back to correct his mistakes, it is important we get to
understand the mistakes he is coming back to correct,” he said.
At
a TESCON handover ceremony of the All Nations University in Koforidua, the
Eastern Regional capital, Mr. Awuku said, “Mr. Mahama must be able to convince
Ghanaians whether he will continue with the flagship Free SHS or not and that
if he decides to continue, he should be able to explain to us what exactly he
is coming to do since he never believed in it from day one; he can never
complete a building he never lay its foundation.”
“Free
SHS has come to stay and the only way it can survive is when you have the
government that initiated and understands it,” he added.
Mr.
Awuku further tasked the former President whether he was going to scrap the allowance
for nurses and teacher trainees since he stated emphatically that restoring the
allowances would collapse the economy.
He
said a leader was someone who is able to fix problems but Mr. Mahama, from his
previous experience, does not have such qualities and urged Ghanaians not to
allow him near the Presidency again.
“Look,
Ghanaians need to understand all this. Mr. Mahama has been unfair to us as
people, because he has passed through the various positions in the country. He
was an assemblyman, Member of Parliament, deputy
minister, minister and Vice-President. He has seen it all but he was abysmal
during his tenure. He stifled Ghana’s progress so we should never entertain him
again,” he stressed.
He urged the youth, especially TESCON, to work hard for the NPP to retain office and continue to make Ghana better.
