Former President John Dramani Mahama says he cannot understand the reasoning behind the New Patriotic Party’s claim that he’s the one fueling hardship talks in the country.
Speaking at a meeting with some local church leaders in Wa, Upper West Region, during his ‘Thank You Tour’ on Monday, 23 August 2021, Mr Mahama said: “Times are hard even though the New Patriotic Party still insists times are not hard and that I am the one giving Ghanaians the impression that times are hard”.
“This makes me wonder what kind of logic they have that Ghanaians cannot feel hardship unless I come and tell them”, he said.
Days ago, the Director of Communication of the NPP, Mr Yaw Buaben Asamoa urged Ghanaians to stop paying attention to former President John Dramani Mahama’s claims that the country is hard.
Yaw Buaben Asamoah said the NPP cannot sit aloof and watch the 2020 National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer poison the minds of Ghanaians with lies.
“We are not frightened of John Mahama, we know he cannot manage the economy, so we can’t let him poison your minds because if you’re sitting your somewhere and they keep telling you ‘oh it is bad, Ghana is hard, there is corruption, Ghana is hard’. Then sometimes, you think it’s true. So we have to speak back,” he told the media at a press conference on Friday.
He added: “We’re not frightened by John Mahama. We know he cannot give you a good education, we know he cannot give you good health, he will collapse NHIA. We know he cannot manage the economy. Interest rates, inflation will go up, growth will drop and we’ll go back to the IMF”.
