Former President John Mahama has described the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government as the biggest political scam ever pulled on Ghanaians since the nation’s independence in 1957.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo is indeed the President Ghana never had with his Vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia the economic messiah Ghana never got.
Mr Mahama stated that, NPP should never have been given the opportunity to rule as it has collapsed many factors and disappointed Ghanaians despite flowery promises.
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was speaking at its manifesto launch in Winneba on Saturday.
“This NPP administration is the biggest political scam that has been pulled on Ghanaians since our independence in 1957. They were repackaged with ribbons and sweetly scented with enticing promises and most Ghanaians will agree that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is indeed the president Ghana never got and his much-touted economic wizkid, Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, is also the economic messiah Ghana never got,” he stated.
He added that, the ruling government must begin writing their handing-over notes if they have not done so already.
Mr Mahama’s comment follows the launch of Investigative journalist and author, Manasseh Azure Awuni’s latest book, “The President Ghana Never Got.”
The 400-page book documents major events during the 8-year reign of President Akufo-Addo.
This book is his latest project on successive governments. In 2016, when the country’s former President, John Dramani Mahama was preparing to leave office, Manasseh released a book on him titled “The Fourth John: Reign, Rejection & Rebound”.
