They lied<br \/>\ntheir way to power. They convinced Ghanaians with juicy promises,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that the ruling NPP government made lofty promises<br \/>\nwhich it had failed to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mahama is currently on a five-day tour of the Eastern Region,<br \/>\nbegging his party delegates to elect him as their flag-bearer for the 2020<br \/>\ngeneral election.<\/p>\n<p>He lamented: \u201cGhanaians are now crying for a comeback of the NDC<br \/>\nto take them to the \u2018promised land\u2019. Where are their promises which include the<br \/>\n\u2018One district, One factory\u2019, \u2018One village, One dam\u2019, \u2018One district, One warehouse\u2019<br \/>\netc?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhanaians are looking up to the NDC to save them from the<br \/>\nhardships they\u2019re enduring under the NPP administration. I\u2019ve been to nine<br \/>\nregions so far and everywhere I go they tell me they\u2019ve really regretted voting<br \/>\ninto power the Akufo-Addo government. They told me that they were deceived by this<br \/>\ngovernment, and things are tough now for them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that God deliberately allowed the NPP to come to<br \/>\npower \u201cso that Ghanaians can appreciate NDC more because if we were to be in<br \/>\npower by now, you would be complaining and saying the NPP would\u2019ve done far<br \/>\nmore better than what perhaps we might have been doing, if we were still in<br \/>\npower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He therefore called on the NDC to put its house in order so that<br \/>\nit could recapture power in the next elections.<\/p>\n<p>He also asked President Akufo-Addo to come out and \u2018apologise\u2019 to Ghanaians for reneging on his campaign promises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FROM Daniel Bampoe, Koforidua<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Mahama FORMER President John Mahama\u2019s thirst for re-election into office in 2020 has seen him teasing Ghanaians anytime he mounts the podium to address his audiences.
