President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has described John Dramani Mahama as a failed president, stating that Mahama is the only president who performed poorly and was not allowed to continue in office.
According to him, all past presidents are recognized for their significant contributions, except for John Dramani Mahama, whose legacy is “Dumsor.”
He criticized the NDC’s proposed “24-hour economy,” questioning how their flagbearer, John Mahama, could implement such a policy.
“If he could not keep the lights on for 12 hours during his tenure as president, how can he sustain a 24-hour economy? Stop that lies,” he remarked, labelling the policy as deceitful.
In his speech during the commissioning of the Sekyere Afram Plains District Hospital at Drobonso, on Monday, November 25, President Akufo-Addo also highlighted the success of the Free SHS policy, describing it as a game changer in the educational sector.
He noted that many students who previously lacked access to secondary education are now enrolled and benefiting from the policy.
He therefore appealed to the public to vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, emphasizing that he is the right candidate to continue his legacy.
“My Vice will take over the projects that we couldn’t complete. Before I assumed office, over 1,000 BECE candidates were not able to access secondary education, due to lack of finances. Over ten years, one million young Ghanaians were not able to access secondary education.
“In parts of the world, the government pay school fees of young people. We also decided that Ghana could do the same. That’s why we introduced the Free SHS policy, eight hundred thousand students were in SHS, and now, the number has doubled to 1.6 million. 5.7 million young Ghanaians have benefitted from the SHS policy.
“Please two people are contesting the presidency, one of them was not allowed to continue his term because he failed. All the other presidents were offered the second term, but this particular one [Mahama] was booted out. Mahama is noted for Dumsor, how can such a person lead Ghana again?
