Former President John Dramani Mahama has said that the only people saying that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are the same, are disappointed NPP members.
He added that the NPP members should stop saying that their party is the same as the NDC and enjoy the mess their party has put Ghana in.
“That is the psychology of the propaganda they are doing. We are not the same,” he told veteran journalist Kwaku Sintim Addo (KSM).
“We have given more Ghanaians electricity than any party in the history of this country. Rolling started the national electrification program, and the rural electrification program, which has brought Ghana to above 80% electricity coverage.
“In our time we’ve given more Ghanaians water than any party in the history of this country. When proof came into office water coverage was 55%. By the time I left office, water coverage was 72%. We have built all the public universities in this country, NPP hasn’t built one public university, they’re just good at renaming them with their party figures,” he said.
“We started the digital revolution in this country. I was Minister of Communications when we divided posts and telecommunications and created Ghana Telecom and allowed Space Phone and all the mobile operators to come in. We started laying optic fibre in this country, did the Eastern Corridor Optic Fibre. And so that whole digital revolution started in our time.”
