‘This is not the Ghana I handed over to Akufo-Addo’ – Mahama
John Dramani Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized President Nana Akufo-Addo for mismanaging the affairs of the country and neglecting the Asuogyaman Constituency.
Mahama expressed his concern about the current state of Ghana during his Building Ghana Tour in the Eastern Region, stating, “My brothers, when I look at the state of Ghana today, this isn’t the country I handed over to Nana Akufo-Addo on January 7, 2017.” The nation has collapsed.
The country has been sucked into debt. No developmental project has been done since they came into power, taking your community as an example.
The current government’s leadership is accused of denying the people of Asuogyaman and other regions access to development projects.
The issue of premix and outboard motor distribution to fishermen at landing beaches was brought up by Mahama, who accused the government of politicizing the process.

If he’s re-elected, he’s going to put in place the right stuff to make sure the premix gets distributed to the folks who catch fish.
When the NDC was in power, proper measures were taken to assist fishermen in establishing landing beach committees, where Premix was given to the committee to distribute to the fishermen. Now, the narrative has changed. Politicians are now in charge of the premix, which affects the works of fishermen. When we were elected into power, we promised to change it.
Furthermore, Mahama committed to redeveloping the Juapong textiles plant to combat youth unemployment. He recalled the efficiency of the plant during his previous tenure and pledged to restart its operations.
We’ve been in power before, so you can see how things went when the NDC was in power. We’re in an election year, and we’re running again. Likewise, we all know that if you get power, you’re supposed to serve the people, and you have to know what the people want to do about it.

Communities and the NDC’s vision for addressing developmental challenges in various sectors were emphasized during the Eastern Region tour.
