That\u2019s how Akufo-Addo came and pleaded to be tested, and that is our failure today. But does he care? He recently went to Takoradi and unveiled it himself. Every president needs to be humble. People should extol and honour you, not the other way around, by building a statue and unveiling it. Have you heard that before?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about going to universities and asking them to grant you an honorary doctorate while you are still in office. He has visited all the universities and received honorary doctorates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on the link to join the&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>&nbsp;channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:&nbsp;<em>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), asserting that their policies have become \u201cexhausted\u201d and that they lack innovative solutions to meet the needs of Ghanaians.
