Not only that NPP, through the focused operations of GNPC, made Ghana an oil rich nation but left office before a single barrel of Jubilee oil could be produced.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>According to John Boadu, the previous Mahama administration virtually grounded the country\u2019s economy by taking oil-rich Ghana from a growth trajectory of 14 per cent to 3.4 per cent. <\/p>\n<p>He stated that \u201calso the NPP, under President Kufuor, left office with Ghana\u2019s first credit rating taking us to B+. Before that we were not even rated. Credit rating is necessary for both government and business to transact business and borrow internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Reject Mahama<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>According to Mr. Boadu, Ghanaians should \u201csay \u2018No\u2019 to a redenominated candidate (Mahama) because he never changes. Mahama \u2013 the value is the same. More importantly, the NDC alternative under Mahama is still scary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that \u201cafter eight years of NDC economic management, our rating went down from B+ to B-. Yes, B minus under John Mahama! After only 20 months of NPP under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we have already been upgraded from B- to B. Our upgraded credit ratings earned us an oversubscribed Eurobond issue in multiples of seven at the lowest coupon rate and longer maturity Ghana has ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/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>Politics of Monday, 8 April 2019 Source: dailyguideafrica.com 2019-04-08 play videoJohn Boadu, General Secretary of the NPP The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a \u2018destroyer\u2019 of socio-economic initiatives.
