The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has criticized the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for seeking another opportunity from Ghanaians after damaging the nation, labeling the party as shameful.
While on a campaign tour in the Oti Region, John Mahama shared how the NPP portrayed themselves as the nation’s saviors and how they criticized his administration, at one time labelling him as incompetent.
“In my era, a bag of cement was GHc24 but the NPP claimed there was hardship. Since the days of Kwame Nkrumah, the debt we incurred was just GHc120 billion. The NPPs complained that the country had a lot of resources and that we didn’t need to take loans to develop the country” John Mahama recounted.
“The bag of cement we used to buy for GHc24 is now GHc110. The petrol we used to buy was as low as GHc14 it’s now GHc75. During the era of NDC, 1 dollar was as low as GHc4 but now a dollar to cedis is GHc17″ John Mahama listed some items to show the differences in prices.
He also mentioned that he would feel embarrassed to request the people of Ghana to support him if he were part of their party, noting that the circumstance is disgraceful.
“The NPP have no shame; they’re still asking for a chance after destroying the country”, he bemoaned.
