During his tour of the Central Region on Wednesday, November 6, President Akufo-Addo criticized opposition leader John Dramani Mahama’s economic management track record.
Referring to the collapse of the Kumasi Brewery, which previously operated 24 hours a day, President Akufo-Addo argued that this incident exemplifies Mr. Mahama’s inability to sustain key industries under his leadership.
President Akufo-Addo asserted that Mr. Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, cannot be trusted to fulfill his promises, labeling him as unreliable.
He urged Ghanaians to recall the economic setbacks during Mahama’s tenure and to exercise caution about returning him to power in the upcoming elections.
The President warned that electing Mahama again would be a “mistake,” believing the country would not progress but instead retrogress under his leadership.
President Akufo-Addo emphasized the need for stability and continuity in leadership to foster sustainable development, urging voters to support his administration’s policies.
He concluded by advising Ghanaians not to repeat what he termed past “errors” by voting for the former president.
President Akufo-Addo’s message was clear: Ghana should avoid moving backward and focus on building upon recent accomplishments to ensure lasting progress.
“John Dramani Mahama will come here again before we vote in December 2024. When he comes, ask him about the Kumasi Brewery. It produced beer and Guinness, operating in three shifts within 24 hours. It collapsed during his tenure.”
“You want a 24-hour economy but couldn’t oversee what was left in your care. Is it now that you are going to do something about it?”
“Let’s not make a mistake and retrogress. Let’s throw our weight behind Bawumia and move forward to take Ghana to the next step of development,” he stated.
