NPP Government Is Our Common National Tragedy
Former President John Dramani Mahama has described the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration as a common national tragedy.
Speaking in Accra to climax 2-day ‘Thank You’ tour of the Greater Accra Region, Mr. Mahama said the current state of affairs is unimpressive as the Akufo-Addo administration nears the end of the first year since his mandate was renewed as President in the 2020 elections.
“Ladies and gentlemen, civil servants, doctors, nurses, teachers, businessmen and women, traders, farmers, drivers, and the teeming unemployed youth of Ghana, this government is our common national tragedy. We may yet have to endure these very difficult times for a while more due to a combination of factors,” he said on Wednesday, November 10,
“I am talking about a future where your name, your ethnicity, your tribe, your circumstances of birth will not determine how you are treated in your own country by your own government. I recall the words of the Most Reverend Japhet Yao Ledo during my thank you tour of the Volta Region, and I stand this evening to assure the people of the region and the nation at large that all successive NDC administrations will continue to be national and people-centered ones, sharing the national cake, equally and beneficially to all regions and parts of the country.”
