What Nation Is Akufo-Addo Going To Handover To Me? – Mahama Bemoans Electoral Violence

Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has bemoaned the violence associated with the voter registration exercise asking what sort of country President Akufo Addo will hand over to him should he win power on December 7.

Addressing the media at Bole in the Savannah Region after acquiring his voters identification card, Mahama said successive governments under the fourth republic had left the country united and peaceful but same may not be said for Akufo Addo.

“President Rawlings was the first president under the Fourth Republic. He ruled this country for eight years and handed over peacefully to President Kufour, President Kufour was in power for eight years and he handed over the peaceful and united country to the late Professor Evans Atta Mills and I took over in 2012 after the unfortunate passing over of Professor Mills. I handed over a peaceful and united country to Akufo-Addo. Unfortunately, what nation is Akufo-Addo going to handover to me when I take over from him in 2021?” he quizzed

He accused the Akufo Addo led government of doing everything it takes to remain in power.

“The Akufo-Addo government is trampling our democracy. A lot of things that are happening; closure of radio stations and just recently during this registration exercise the elimination of people and the questioning of their citizenship and the use of the military to prevent people from registering. It all shows a government that is determined to do everything to hang on to power,” he said.

Mahama added, “we will bring back the peace and unity in this country. We will make all our people feel they belong to this country and that some people do not own this country than others.”
