He specifically cited the cancellation of the teacher trainee allowance under their administration as an example of their poor governance.<\/p>\n<p>Mustapha pointed to Mahama\u2019s defeats in the 2016 and subsequent elections as a clear indication of Ghanaians\u2019 rejection of his leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsk yourselves, from Kwame Nkrumah to Akufo-Addo, how come John Dramani Mahama was the only leader in our nation\u2019s history who was rejected by Ghanaian voters when he went for re-election? Indeed, ask yourself how come he has been rejected twice since Ghanaians tasted him both as a vice president and as president?,\u201d\u2019 Salam Mustapha queried Ghanaian youth during the press conference.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that Mahama despite having enormous resources plunged the country into problems like dumsor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe inherited an oil-rich economy and without any global crisis to deal with he created his own crisis\u2026Schools did not even have common chalk! The situation was hopeless. The leader himself was rudderless and inept.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe witnessed his shambolic performance as president which saw your parents losing their jobs or customers because of dumsor. Yes, four years of President John Mahama was four years of dumsor,\u201d Mustapha stated.<\/p>\n<p>The NPP youth organiser also took a swipe at the NDC running mate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t John Mahama alone that was hopeless in office, but his running mate too. Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was equally if not more inept\u2026Madam Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang supervised the monstrous heart-breaking 3-month pay policy, where teachers worked for 3 years and only got paid 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was how mean she was. She supervised the cancellation of the teacher training allowance, forced universities to pay their own utilities, and could not provide common chalk for basic schools,\u201d Mustapha said.<\/p>\n<p>He thus cautioned Ghanaian youth not to vote for Mahama and Prof Opoku-Agyemang as according to him, the \u201cduo portend doom for our country and gloom for the youth who we should be preparing for the fourth industrial revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"entry-content no-share\">\n<div class=\"content-inner \">\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><em style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Youth Wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described the potential re-election of John Mahama and his running mate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman, as disastrous for Ghana.
