Mahama is the worst leader Ghana has ever had: Sammi Awuku

Battle of the Press Conferences II: The NPP’s national organiser questions why, if John Dramani Mahama wished to achieve big things, he did not do so during eight years in office

The national organiser of the New Patriotic Party has described the flagbearer of the NDC, John Mahama, as the worst leader Ghana has ever had.

“Whatever he could have offered to do or do, he had eight years to do so but failed, leading to his massive defeat in the last election,” Awuku said.

“It is therefore not surprising that former president Jerry John Rawlings, who gave Mahama a ministerial appointment, recently stated that he did not vote for the NDC in the last election and does not intend to do so,” the NPP organiser said.

Vote for your welfare

Awuku therefore advised Ghanaians to turn out in their numbers to vote for their own welfare by renewing the mandate of the NPP government for another four years.

Sammi Awuku was addressing a news conference in Accra on the topic “Who Qualifies to Lead Ghana at This Time?”.

Touching on the Free Senior High School policy, Awuku claimed that the policy is too complex for Mahama, who had earlier said that the NPP could not implement it.

He questioned why the Mahama-led government could not introduce free senior high school while the NDC flagbearer was in power.

“It is not surprising that he now turns around to say he will implement the Free SHS which is already being implemented,” he said.

“Candidate Mahama has decided that just as he did in 2016 and failed, he is going to use infrastructure as his biggest achievement to campaign on in 2020,” he said.

Records in infrastructure

This means, Awuku said, that he is using infrastructure built by the former president John Agyekum Kufuor, like the many district hospitals, and other projects such as the University of Ghana Medical Centre, “started under late President Mills and completed under Akufo-Addo”, he said.

Awuku argued thar the New Patriotic Party, under the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has implemented many infrastructure projects across the country in the past three and a half years.
