President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that voting for John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the December elections would represent a step backwards for the country.
He argued that Mahama and the NDC have “nothing new” to offer Ghanaians.
Speaking at a meeting with chiefs and elders in the Western North Region on Wednesday, President Akufo-Addo emphasised that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, embodies fresh hope and progress for Ghana.
He urged the gathering to support the NPP to sustain and advance the country’s development.
“John Dramani Mahama will come here again before we vote in December 2024. When he comes, ask him about the Kumasi Brewery. It produces beer, and Guinness, and used to work three shifts within 24 hours. It collapsed during his tenure.
“You want a 24-hour economy but couldn’t oversee what was left in your care. Is it now that you are going to do something about it?
“Let’s not make a mistake and retrogress. Let’s throw our weight behind Bawumia and move forward to take Ghana to the next step of development,” he stated.
