General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, says former President John Mahama should be thankful to President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The appreciation, he explains, is due Akufo-Addo over Mahama’s nationwide Thank You tour.
According to Mr Boadu, opposition leaders in most countries do not have the leverage to embark on such tours, especially amid the coronavirus pandemic, hence appreciation will be a step in the right direction.
“Mahama has been able to go on the tour because we managed covid-19 well in the country. In the whole of Africa, we are one of the countries with the lowest mortalities,” he said on Adom TV’s Badwam.
He made mention of the United Kingdom, United States, India among others whose cases are still high.
