President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed doubts about the ability of National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, to lead Ghana, warning that his return to power would jeopardize key policies, including the Free Senior High School (SHS) program.

Speaking during a meeting with the chiefs and people of the North-East Region, President Akufo-Addo cautioned that a vote for Mahama and the NDC in the upcoming December 7 general elections could result in the cancellation of major initiatives such as the Free SHS policy.

He pointed to recent remarks made by Mahama as evidence that the NDC leader would likely scrap the programme if elected.

Akufo-Addo urged Mahama to clarify his stance on the Free SHS policy, emphasising that Ghanaians deserve to know his true position on the programme that has benefited countless students across the country.

“Let’s ask him [Mahama], which is which? What should the Ghanaian people take as your real position? Because this chopping and changing, chopping and changing, is a very difficult thing for some of us to understand.

“What should we believe? Are you going to change it? Are you going to cancel it? Are you going to improve it? Because every time you open your mouth, you say a different thing.

“I don’t think a man who talks like that, who wants the supreme office of our country, is somebody who can be trusted.”
