Comparing Mahama’s Achievement To Akufo-Addo’s Is Like Comparing iPhone To China Phone – Emmanuel Anyimah

Emmanuel Anyimah has touted former President Mahama for having made immense contributions to Ghana’s development in 4 years as compared to President Akufo-Addo’s 5 years. 

He claims President Mahama’s achievements were vast right from the economy to infrastructure making him comparable to none. 

“President Mahama’s achievements are vast than that of Nana Addo. What he achieved in 4 years Nana Addo has not achieved in 5 years and will not achieve by the end of his 8-year term. Comparing former President Mahama to President Akufo-Addo is like comparing an iPhone to a China phone. The difference between their accomplishments is big and I am surprised this comparison is made,” he told Happy98.9FM’s Don Kwabena Prah in the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show. 

According to him, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is filled with hypocrites who always fail to acknowledge how well former President Mahama managed the economy. “The NPP has now destroyed the sound economy we left them and I prefer they focus on reviving it and making it better.”

Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken on the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) over what he calls a “total collapse of the economy”.

Former President Mahama said President Nana Akufo-Addo and his head of the economic management team had failed to make pragmatic decisions aimed at salvaging Ghana’s fragile economy.

He said the government had also “resorted to unhelpful political posturing over suggestions on how to stem the downward spiral, ensure discipline, and help the economy recover.”

The former President’s comment comes in the wake of Moody’s and Fitch downgrade of Ghana’s credit rating.

Moody’s downgraded Ghana’s long-term issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings to Caa1 from B3, and changed the outlook from negative to stable.

It said the new rating reflects the woes of Ghana in fixing its liquidity and debt challenges.

The government has declared intentions of revitalizing the economy through the introduction of the electronic transfer levy.
