John Dramani Mahama the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), thinks that if the amount of bribery and corruption seen in the current government had occurred during the NDC’s time, Ghana would have experienced a coup by now.
In his opinion, the reason things are as they are is because those responsible for holding the government accountable are hypocrites who prefer praising the government instead of speaking the truth.
“I must be honest with you; if the bribery and corruption happening under this government happened under the NDC, we would have had a coup in Ghana. The level of thievery going on is worse, but people—a lot of people are hypocrites; they do not see the wrong going on in Ghana,” he told a charged crowd in Accra.
John Dramani Mahama stated his confidence in the NDC winning the 2024 elections, but cautioned that those who have stayed quiet about the current government’s shortcomings will speak up again.
“I know NDC will win the 2024 elections. However, when we win, people who have toothaches and cannot speak against the ills of the current government will start to get their voices back. Hypocrisy is what is pulling this nation back. If we see the truth, if it is black, it is black, if it is white it is white, it doesn’t matter who is in office. We must be truthful at all times,” he said.
