Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has issued a rallying call to Ghanaians to send President Akufo Addo packing out of the Jubilee House after he has for the past four years presided over a stagnant country.
Addressing party Executives at the University of Professional Studies(UPSA) in Accra when he officially outdoored his running mate Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, Mahama insisted Akufo Addo has no real solutions for the problems of Ghana.
“My brothers and sisters, the 2020 election will be a referendum on the four years of Nana Akufo-Addo’s presidency – four years of nepotism, corruption, stagnation, deliberate abandoning of badly needed social infrastructure, dehumanisation, disenfranchising Ghanaians, stripping Ghanaians of their citizenship, deliberate collapse of indigenous Ghanaian businesses, massive job losses and the attendant socio-economic hardship.”
“This will be a referendum on the term of a president who has no real solutions for Ghana, a president, hell-bent on doing whatever it takes to stay in power – including, against sound advice, replacing the very voters register, which brought him into office,” he stated.
He further promised to pay back customers money which has been locked up in collapsed financial institutions.
“…..on behalf of the NDC we shall pay, within one year, all who have funds locked up with the collapsed financial institutions. Within one year. I promise!”
“We shall not put up any long-term payment plans that will further worsen the living conditions of the victims,” he said.
He added, “we will restore Ghanaian indigenous investment in the banking and financial sector through a tiered banking structure in order to restore viable credit sources for Ghanaian SMEs. We will make amends for those whose businesses were collapsed due to political victimisation.”
